Yah. From what I hear a Military guy gets a lot of expenses paid for, things like housing and rent and such, so you'd be surprised how much money they save....when they're smart. I've heard tell from the Army Ranger in Training and Navy Seal guy that once people hit leave they blow huge wads of cash like idjits.

I bought some nice Christmas presents, and after boot camp I'm getting myself a new laptop.

But at the same time, I'm single (read: not paying for kids' shit or spouse/bf's shit) and have no bills in my name, plus I got a pretty sizable amount of Christmas money this year. I think people buy stupid shit while on leave because everything seems so shiny and new, and their wallet feels bottomless. Since all the necessities are available on-base for really cheap, they go to the mall and go absolutely nuts.

The guys I know who went through OCS prank call some other military office all the time.

Officer pay chart. It doesn't seem like all that much, except you get paid bi-monthly plus allowances. As an officer, you can live off base whether you're married or not, and the Army pays most of your rent. You also get food and uniform allowances.

IDE, you can't make prank calls. If you make prank calls, you get fired in a way that makes it difficult to get a job even at McDonald's. You have to actually, you know, work.

Alright, erasing "becoming an officer" from my "jobs to do" list. I wouldn't be able to survive with that pay! friggin' student loans :-S

I think they pay off your student loans though.

All of them? Even my private ones? I don't think so son, I don't think so

They do.

I'm going to research into it. and here I was thinking about running away and hiding somewhere in south-east asia.

IDE · « **Reply #38 on:** Jan 05, 2009, 11:43:10 AM »

My plan C is to hide out in japan and become a pro wrestler.

My cousin in AZ just shipped off for boot camp. I have no idea what he's going in to do.

Bitch · « **Reply #40 on:** Feb 19, 2009, 07:14:30 PM »

Yeah, can I kick Doug out of my thread? His little underage chick is effin creepy.

In AZ now. Holy shit, I cannae breathe up here. Apporx. 5000 feet above sea level. Suuck. Didn't get in with this class, either, so I'm a hold-under until this end of March, when I can hopefully get classed. If you ever join the Army, go NG or Reserve. Active duty gets fucked up the ass, priority-wise.

Is there an ignore link there? Underneath his AIM duder and the MySpace peeps?

So you're in AZ? With D's cousin? Is he as creepy as D?

Bitch · « **Reply #42 on:** Mar 07, 2009, 10:58:21 AM »

I'm not with D's cousin, I'm at the MI school at Ft. Huachuca. Unless D's cousin is a short Polynesian guy who can't take a hint, I don't think I've seen him.

B E C K · « **Reply #43 on:** Mar 09, 2009, 01:23:45 AM »

He very well could be. Yep, he very well could be.

I'm surprised that you'd want to ignore me considering I only post once a month now that this place died.

My cousin isn't in AZ anymore.. he's at some boot camp somewhere else. His group is under the Military Police devision of the army, so unless you're a MP I doubt you'd bump into him. But if you see a 19 year old guy with a blonde buzz cut named K Patton that might be him.

Bitch · « **Reply #45 on:** Mar 14, 2009, 10:58:43 PM »

Every white male in the military looks the same. Same buzzcut, same hat, same fucking uniform. And I've met three Pattons already. The Army is a big insititution; the odds of me running into one particular person are extremely slim.

Come on now, it was joke. It shouldn't have gotten this far.

I forget the army spot in Mississippi, but it's supposed to be like the worse boot camp spot.

Camp Shelby, probably.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #50 on:** Mar 19, 2009, 09:52:51 PM »

Maybe I should get into the army for a couple of months, just to get in shape? Paying 400 bucks for 8 one hour sessions with a personal trainer seems a little too much imo.

Bernie AKA · « **Reply #51 on:** Mar 20, 2009, 01:52:30 PM »

Congrats, B!

Maybe you'll get TDY in someplace cool.

According to my brother, the Marines are the horndogs and most of them are at Pendleton in San Diego. They might behave differently with women, though.

whats TDY?

Ha, with your luck Faye-Faye, they'd ship you off for the next war. And you'd be all "Fuck this!" and go AWOL to Singapore.

Hey, my dad has an apt in Singapore! (he used to live there until last year, now he lives in Abu Dhabi). I love that place. I'll go there once I ditch the army , but at least with a better body :-p

Then you can belly-dance for money and seduce a rich Dubai mogul into marrying you.

But I've changed it now to a picture of a "bearded lady" (that's the description of the picture) which is nothing more than a dude in a victorian dress.
