Cute.

The frick you say. Trying being an infantryman for just one year. You'll spend at least three months away from home, training 16 - 18 hours per day every single day during that time. You'll have weeks and weeks even when back on base when you're out in the field the entire time. You're in at 6 AM and home at 6 or 7 every single day in the office (which is only about half the time).
That's not even getting into deployment, which is its own 365/24/7 beast.
I work in one of the most demanding professions (in hours/week) there is in the American business world, and I have never, ever had a week anything approaching my most stressful weeks or months in the service. Eighty hour weeks in management consulting are not bad at all compared to a lot of the crap you have to do in the infantry.
To the OP's point, yes, I agree the whole service thing gets overblown. Not every single swinging dick was really putting his or her life on the line all the time.
You're still a chump, though, who has repeatedly shown this same chip-on-your-shoulder sentiment. I think you might be a eunuch.

Sorry the truth hurts. Don't care you're a tier 3 veteran. To rehash the tiers...
Tier 1-Combat vet in direct action against enemy forces (not to include idf attacks)
Tier 2-"Combat vet" serving in places like Kandahar and Bagram who never left the FOB and/or never discharged their weapon in direct combat.
Tier 3-Active Duty never deployed.
Tier 4-National Guard / Reservists who don't meet Tier 1 or 2 requirements.

Ever signed up to put your life ahead of country? You are clueless to what you initiated but no one should be surprised. Thank them and don't ever question their manhood or constitution.

They are Tier 3 in my eyes and are held in much much lower respect than Combat vets in my eyes.

We did some training with the Australians when we got detached to PACOM during the last couple of years in my time.
Their combat pay system is actually something very similar to this. I wish we'd use it.
Of course, then you'd have every frickwad Air Force light colonel doing a 3 month stint at Bagram going on one logistics patrol to get that tier.

I bet in boot camp he got to use his phone for an hour a day and also got stress cards.

Where do you stand G4? Do you hate patriots too????

What are stress cards?

I agree olewarakule......,,I'm not saying that I'm all that. I wouldn't be worthy to tie the young men's and women's boots who have gone into combat and fought, died,lost limbs, I damn sure ain't all that.
What I am saying is don't punish vets who were never asked by the powers that be to go into harms way. As an engineer, we did humanitarian missions, and those are some of the proudest moments of my life. A veteran is so much more than war in their service.
