I make just under $30/hour think its $29.86 or something don't have paycheck in front of me atm or I could tell you. After 40 hours in week its time and a half and after 49 hours its double time. When I get home I can scan my W2 from last year made just under $70k but that's just cause I was lazy and didn't work alot of OT.

P.S.

Paid like $15k in taxes last year... but getting about $9k back. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Meaning you OVERPAID about $750/month that could have been in your pocket. Fix your exemptions dude. You could have MADE $400 extra if you had invested that money instead letting the government sit on it and give it back with zero interest.

Do you have something going on the side?....from an ex-E6 to another...E6's top at under$3000 a month and thats after 18 years of service. So unless you are almost doubling your pay with some sort of bonuses i can't see it. I mean 60k is 5k a month and you would have to be an E9 with 24 years of service to knock down 5k a month and since you're only 25...seems a bit stretched. Even with Career Sea duty pay which for you can only equal out to like 350 amonth. Hell i was an Army Staff Sergeant w/ combat/overseas and jump pay and wasn't even hitting $2500 a month.

Well you seem sincere. So I'll humor you. I almost make 60K a year. With the bonuses and BAH combined, yeah I do make that much. Youre an Ex-E-6 which means you probably dont keep up with the pay increases. Plus I am a submariner. Which probably means nothing to you but it's a huge thing to us. Navy out pays Army.... I just cleared 6 years. By the time I hit 8 years, I'lll be an officer. My pay would increase %25-35 w/ bonuses. Navy can be very lucrative and competetive with civilian jobs IF you make it. I will never get to a point in the military that I cannot advance. Sorry for but I am ownt by my own ambition.

BTW Sea duty pay does not stop at 350. There is an incentive that you can get thats 100 more. But like I said, Im not even getting sea pay.

And here's a video:

Nice vid!!! Was that filmed on the Kentucky coast-line??? LOL!!!!

I've never really been able to ride stand-ups, my balance sucks, so I'm obviously jealous of the flips... I have had mine about 20 ft off of a 10 ft wave a few times though. If you catch tem right before they crash doing 35-40 mph or so, but like I said, really hard landing with a 3-seater!!!!!

First time I did it, I got caught in by surprise in the surf-zone and was getting pushed sideways way too close to the coral, so I turned into it and went WOT. hit the second right after it crashed, plowed through it and kept going to the third. I hit it right at its peak and just held on for the ride. Straight up 20 ft and then straight down 30ft behind it, only it flattened out as i dropped. I hit the water horizontal with a huge smack. Ithough that at the worst it was going to break in-half and at best, i'd only break a motor mount, but nothing happened so I just played in those fuckers until I was low on fuel and went back in for the day...

how come he's allowed to say fuckers? Oh I get it.

 

[dynamcpunk 10+ year member]

cobra commander how much did you get for a bonus. Because I'm not buying the 60K thing unless you got a fat bonus at six years and still getting e5 pay base pay is like 2500 and it says you live you in wa and I know your not in everett so your bah is probably not that high unless your a geo bacholer and you said your not getting sea pay yet. anyway the point is i'm not buying it
