And i should have typed 'had' a better golf course.

Speaking of golf courses, have you seen the proposed new carrier? The USS Bill Clinton

Offtopic, but... I think the Navy made a mistake in 1980 by setting a new precedent and naming a ship after someone living. Then, they repeated the mistake on CVN-76 and CVN-77.

Hmmmm... the Military provides food? Which Branch? Not in the Army. Provides housing? Only after months on a waiting list and the loss of your basic quarters allolwance, provides health care? mostly it forced heath care in which you have no saying who you get as a Dr.... Hmmmm you also forgot free travel, you get to uproot the Family and move only to reestablish you houshold again. Did I mention the free *cough* of Family separation? For only a few Months or a couple of years.

So these are the benifits that you need to consider that the Military provides on top of your measly base pay.

I know... cuz I did my 20.

I always get a laugh outta people like Sandman that believe the Military benifits are worth more than money in a Familys pocket.

I did 10 years in the Navy, and that's not what I said. The point is that the military does provide things that you have to pay for on the outside so you can't really compare a military salary to a civilian salary straight across the board.

Nothing about the military irritated me more than the extra pay and benifits afforded to those "married with children".

You get extra, not because you are more skilled or have more time in grade or...

...bleh, still kinda pisses me off.

Amen, I can agree with that. Maybe I misread what you typed. I scrolled back and still reads the same. But not as outlandish as Rolex.

The pay must be low, because school officials are recruiting foreign teachers to fill in the blanks. I know, because my brother just went to Loudoun County, VA to be on some sort of trial for a few weeks, to be then hired later if everything goes well.
Quite a few school districts in areas with high population growth are sending "headhunters" here every year.

It also depands on where you are located. It is tough finding a job in migigan from what i hear from some of my friends looking for school jobs. it is like everywhere else. some places better then others.

I can't blame ya for not like it... But hell, I wasn't about to turn extra money down.

Now... to put it in a different perspective... Most recruits are in the 18-19 year-old range. Almost none of them are raising families at that time. By the time a sailor starts to raise a family, he's probably an E-4 or an E-5 and nearing the end of his enlistment. The Navy absolutely must provide some added incentive if they expect to retain trained personnel beyond the first enlistment. Sure, it's not fair to the single guys, but by and large, I think the Navy ultimately benefits by creating this incentive.

If your brother needs an immigration attorney, let me know.
