At least you get paid by the hour. I can put in 12-hour shifts all week plus the weekend and get paid the same as when I work 8-hour shifts. <sigh>

Are you salary? There not a shift difference in pay?

[Sabrewings]

Yep. People say "Oh it all evens out". But my employer is the military and I'll work 40+ hours every week not counting the occasional weekend. If it even out they owe me a few weeks off without using up my leave.

That is the truth. A while ago, I had a few people having to make up their 2 week training and wouldn't you guess, they couldn't all do it at the same time. Worked about 2 months straight and not a dime more. Would be nice to have overtime pay, but how can we complain with all the other benefits.

True, it is hard to complain when you get a roof over your head for nothing (or if you live out in town you get moola for that), free college education, food money, MWR, free medical and dental, inexpensive life insurance!! And then when you get out the benefit of having military experience makes you stand out over others for a civilian job.
