"Hey, the economy is great right now!" ($1200/ month for a bed in a homeless shelter)

1. I've had to live without health insurance with health problems and I have it now and can barely afford the bills that I have. In addition to that most of my doctors don't want to do sh_t for my pain but give me Ibuprofen...IF that.

2. What exactly will keep you from getting an education while in the military? Also, you don't have to use the military to go to school. You can get job training with the MOS you have and use it in the civilian world if it was a good job in the military.

3. You can remedy your credit score by saving money while getting benefits for things that you don't have to cover out of your own pocket and there's some incentives to helping with student loans.

4. If you're a veteran then it sounds like you didn't use it to your advantage and now you're bitter about it. I don't mean any harm because a lot of Millennials are resorting to doing this and we're using it to our advantages and getting out for better job opportunities.

His points either have nothing to do with serving, or nothing to do with reality. Just edit with a smiley and keep it moving.

Join AF, Coast Guard, Navy in that order....go some IT rate.

I'm not trying to start at the very bottom and unfortunately that's where I would start in the AF, I'm not interested in being around water all the time with the Coast Guard (I've been around water my whole...it's not that exciting), and not really the Navy either.

I feel like the people telling me not to join, never served a day in their life. The nerve...

Let them keep taking advice from folks who watched "Hell Week" on NatGeo What do my 12 years mean?

If the economy is so great, why are people willing to get blown the fukk up in the military for a sliver of a chance of getting into whatever the middle class is these days?

Beggars can't be chooser...good luck then, nikka. IDK what you want me to say.

Unless you can provide alternatives to people like me, then...



Exactly. I wish I had something better, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Trump and his people are trying to start world war 3. That alone is enough reason to not do it. I got friends I went to school with who joined the military and they all were making less than $30,000 a year. It’s why they left after 4 years. Legit the last job I’d ever take for this country is joining the military.

30k?
No way they are factoring room and board, 3 square meals, training, full coverage healthcare(for life), dental care, and the G.I. Bill



Apparently healthcare can only be included to show how underpaid someone is around here... if its given by the employer, its omitted.

30k is still low as fukk considering what we spend on the military every year.

50k should be the bare minimum of what someone should get paid to be on call to risk their lives over some bullshyt. And even that figure is low as fukk.


People pack boxes for 30k.
