Reminder for all those

Every time I read one of your posts, I am reminded of all the good soldiers that didn't make the military a career because of fools like you.

That you'll be shite on and called a malingerer and a shammer for attempting to access because the 1SG wants everyone sitting around the motor pool all fricking day. And heaven forbid you actually get injured on the job. Now you're a "broke dick" or a gimp and can look forward to getting fricked on the duty roster until separation.

China started it but our leadership (not just federal) dropped the ball.

And there's a litany of reasons why people can't/don't save money, not least of which is our government bending the middle class over a barrel over the last 40 years.

OP is an idiot but you do get a ton of four day weekends on top of normal leave that kind of makes up for that.

Sometimes you only make a few bucks an hour (like a deployment) but I've also gone long periods where I'd be killing it if it were hourly.

Get off your sorry asses and join the U.S. Army. Benefits include:

- Job security
- Free world class medical care for you and all dependents
- 100% free college tuition after serving 36 months, housing stipend up to $3000 a month, and $1000 a year for books and supplies (post-9/11 GI Bill)
- Stellar compensation packages including tax free housing income monthly
- World renowned retirement plans including access to the highly sought after thrift savings plan
- 30 days of PTO per year

Sounds like a bunch of handouts. Where I come from we take care of ours and don't need the governement. We pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and get back to work
