Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
I'm talkin about the folks who put in like 20 years at least into that shyt.


How? :dahell:


People can't really be THAT bad with money, right? :patrice:

For real. Give an 18 year old free room, free food, free bills, and 1500 a month and see what he does with it

Same way most of America lives check to check. I've got 2 twins in the Navy and got both of them saving a few hundred a month just to put away. Preached almost every day to them about keeping an eye on their discharge date (assuming they don't re-enlist) and making sure that they've got a nice cushion when they get there

I got a question for the military brehs...if someone gets a Chapter 14 (or 15 I can't remember which one) and he gets escorted off the base by MPs, can that dude ever get benefits or pension or whatever it is that Army cats get when they leave?

breh people in the military dont make much $$$....
it's all relative bro. you don't gotta pay for food/housing/health care. all those things you pay for when not in the military. so at the end of the day who's really making more? plus you get to save/free school/ low inerest and mortgages on homes.

who do you know who actually retires (20+ years in) from the military...and is poor?

getting out after 4-6 years isn't retirement.

it's like having any other job for a few years and not transitioning/preparing for another job....you're gonna be broke once that paycheck ends
