Well, not bad, but AF is the slowest branch to rank up in. One doesn't get E-3 (if no prior experience to shortcut this) for at least a year.
nope
monthly, and that's before taxes.
Gross pay, Ryan. And yes, active duty has housing/BAH and food/BAS covered.

 

16 months to be exact. 3 years to get E-4.. 6 more months for me :yay:

 

Well I've been in about 18 months and get SrA end of this year :hi5:


How's FE Warren? :chuckles:

 

i've been in for 30 months lol... how you puttin on sra so quick? (28mo time in grace or 36 time in service)

FE Warren is real fun, you should try to get orders for here and we'll party :hay:

 

Well I should say I'm going up for BTZ end of the year

I wouldn't mind Wyoming if it wasn't so.....boring.

 

yeah i didn't make that. good luck though. support trooops get no love by senior nco's. if you deployed, you have a great chance of it.

 

Fixed comm. squadron - planted like a tree I'm going against 3 other people in the squadron who I hear didn't even get their package submitted.

 

29 palms california. the anus of california.

so far i've shot the m16a4, m249 saw 5.56, m240 7.62, and m203 40mm grenade launcher. my fav so far has been the m240. fully automatic 7.62mm machine gun? yes please. soon i'll get to shoot the at-4 rocket launcher, smaw 83mm rocket launcher, the loudest weapon in the marine corps arsenal behind an m1a1 abrams main battle tank main gun, and barrett .50 cal sniper rifle. good times indeed. :yes:

i know :cry:

that's monthly before taxes. keep in mind $250 is taken out each month for BAS (basic allowance for substinance) so i can eat in the chow hall whether i choose to or not, and i put 5% of all my pay into what we call the thrift savings play, basically a savings plan i can only draw on after i leave active duty. so each pay period i'm lucky to see ~$650. and 18-20 hour days are not uncommon.




























i coulda made more money selling weed
