For military?
Yep, Air force
3 decades makes sense for a nice pension.
yeah it makes sense
That's basically a career.
Basically
He joined when he was 17 lol
It's the guys who never get past the low levels but collect pensions for a lifetime that make you scratch your head.
And alot of those guys leave at 30 and take 6 figure jobs in private industry.
Oh I should mention
Can those guys get jobs elsewhere?
Giving your kids ritalin means they can probably never hold office.
"Why?"
Because it means they can never serve in the military.
"--Huh?"
@pratel who actually stays in the low levels and gets a pension?
You'll be running against people who have served in the military.
They win and you don't, in most circumstances.
You Americans should medicate children less
@oprahsminge I'm not sure. But I've heard people talk about it.
Here we tell them to grow the fuck up
the reduction of it
I'm not 100% familiar with military compensation to be honest.
Parents get bamboozled.
They didn't know what ritalin really was.
It came highly recommended
But I know you can get a surprisingly solid pension for surprisingly little time served.
And people seemed to be experts.
@pratel iirc in the USMC, if you were at a certain rank after a certain number of years still, they just boot you
My parents weren't stupid, they just trusted professionals.
@oprahsminge good to know.
Do they still get paid though?
They assumed other people were as honorable about their jobs, as they were with their own.
like if I had stayed in and only been a corporal at year 8 id have gotten booted out
FUCK NO
That was the mistake.
you need 20 minimum to get a pension
That would make sense.
If that's the threshold, it's fairly reasonable.
Can you take a shortcut if you go through a service academy or something?
