If that's the threshold, it's fairly reasonable.
Can you take a shortcut if you go through a service academy or something?
its not that its unreasonable or reasonable. It's just the way that the pay scales scale upward so dramatically
The whole idea of pensions, and being able to dangle the whole of them, makes me sick.
Well they're basically dead at this point.
and they pay out at high as fuck percentages of your paygrade
Only the government offers them.
@pratel what you mean take a shortcut through a service academy?
If it's something you're promised, something that keeps you and your family ALIVE, you cannot just hold it over people.
like pick up rank out of the gate?
@oprahsminge that would make sense. I think alot of the people I've heard of doing this were doctors and educated people who were able to count their years in education towards their service.
Yeah, basically.
oh
I mean I was enlisted
i dunno how the officers worked
They also got the education paid for by the state.
and theres not a bunch of officers in the Corps to begin with
less than most other branches
Chair Force flies the highest (for now)
@Timcast social justice simply existing is to far. A very mild form of social justice would be racial segregation and discrimination, a relativly mild form of social justice would be the KKK, a strong form of social justice would be sharia, nazi germany or the soviet union
point is it may not be the best example of the military writ large
USMC is weird
Fair point.
I've learned some things in this conversation.
I think during ww2 or another war
I might be mistaken too.
It was found in a survival rations
I've just heard stories.
i wouldn't be surprised to get officers in by giving them shit
its hard enough to get people who qualify at minimum now
^
Well, why would men want to die for a country that doesnt even allow them to vote like the US?
that was a good interview
Yeah, US men DONT have the right to vote
I always knew how that ritalin disqualifies you.
When my mom told a phone recruiter about my ritalin they stopped calling.
I didn't know how much else disqualifies.
a lot of shit
most of the population is disqualified by default
