Another WEEK!! Damn, yall are training long. Good thing yalls deployments are only 6 months.
Not ours all the mews have been year longs cause they don't have the money to make them 6 months with all the money required to send one. We've been told to be ready for at least a year on the ocean
Nice, 12 months!!! Deployment money rocks.
Especially not having to pay bills and getting sea pay
I know a marine that was stationed in NC for a while. I know it's a longshot but... Bridget Kusneske. Know her?
Yep, when I was deployed I had fire hazard pay and family separation pay, made almost a grand more a month and it was tax free, being that we were overseas.
A buddy of mine was doing some civilian work for the military one time. I think it was doing inventory at medical facilities abroad. Anyway one year he made $60,000 and of that $49,000 of it was tax free because he was in Japan, Korea, Kuwait, etc.
Na I dint know her. And yup tax free is great! I hope ours is
Yea, I have met some civilian KBR workers that made $120K tax free for 1 year over. Talk about making someone jealous.
Civilians that do my job clear 175k a year if their good at the job
The only problem with my buddy is he is not good with money. He blew a lot of it on drugs and alcohol.
Thankfully he is clean now, but he will never be the same.
Good. I just blow it on alcohol
I used to blow a lot of money on alcohol. I don't ever consider myself to have been an alcoholic, though others might disagree. I never had to drink, I just did because I went out.
Boost is my anti-drug.
My GTP takes all my booze money, guess that's why I'm in recovery.
I just realized I didn't hang my wash today. It's still in the washer. Got totally distracted.
hang your wash? are in the 40s or did I miss something?
Yeah, I found a way to get my clothes dried for free. Every penny pinched is more wings I can order while I watch The Walking Dead.
Air dried clothes suck compared to heat dried clothes.
The only thing I ever hang outside is my comforter, and then I usually throw it in the dryer to finish off the process.
