[quote:Anonymous Coward 24689656:MV8yMDA0MTc0XzMzNjc0NzY2X0E4M0UyQkVE] [quote:millenniumjackal:MV8yMDA0MTc0XzMzNjc0NzEwX0UxQzE4MUY=] That doesn't sound like a bad job. Here's some perspective for you: I am a U.S. military pilot with 6 years of flight experience. If you add up the hours I work per week between briefing, preflighting, flying, post flight, paperwork and miscellaneous collateral duties... My pay averages out to $18 an hour. Before taxes. So that $12 an hour job? I was in the military for 6 years before I made more than that. I've been in for 11 now. So a job where people aren't trying to kill you and you make more than half the people in the military and you can be home with your wife and kids every night and your hours are set 9 to 5 and you don't have to work weekends or sleep on a couch at the squadron because you're so undermanned that you have to cover other people's jobs too? Sign me the fuck up. My neighbor is on food stamps and disability. That mother fucker eats better than I do. I come home at 1am from working 80 hour work weeks and that mother fucker is sitting in his lawn chair drinking beer and smoking weed all day. Where the fuck to I sign up for that program? Oh and for what it's worth...that $770 billion for the defense budget every year? Fuck me if I know where it goes...we get paid shit, every plane I have ever flown in the last 6 years was built between 1968 - 1991 and the only bathroom at my workplace has a hole busted in the wall, both urinals wrapped in trash bags and piss and shit water running out the bottom of the toilets and all over the floor. This is the state of our country: crooks and the criminally lazy are rewarded more for their efforts than people who work full time jobs or risk their lives and the country is going bankrupt supporting this kind of shit. Meanwhile my work hours keep increasing as the average person has to work longer and longer hours to sustain the unsustainable. I'm about to be divorced for the second time and I'm not even 30...mostly because I'm never home...I'm either in a foreign country having pot shots taken at me or when I am home I'm having to sleep on the couch at work because the military is stretched so thin that the only solution at this point is to use people to the point of exhaustion to make up for lack of working equipment, manpower and money. :rant: [/quote] Wile I disagree with the current war state we are in...I'd like to thank you for your service to our country and for keeping me and mine safe....THANK YOU!
