actually i said i'm an ex-SSG i make like $60k a year now making Downy fabric softner. When i was in the army i was a SSG with 6 years in and was NOT making $2500 a month as a single soldier living on post. So no quarters allowance, no meal allowance but since i was an 18 series i made jump pay, haz. pay, everytime i crossed the ocean i got overseas and the 2 times i was in combat got combat on top of it and at my peak pay with allowances i hit like $2800. so forgive me if the 60 grand doesn't make sense to me. and base pay across ALL the services are the same. And i do keep up on current pay increases since i collect a disability check every month from them...every time the DOD gets a raise, i get a raiseNah, I was talking about bonesninja. He said he is e-6 and barely getting $2500. But im e-4 and getting a lil over that, and when I was in Iraq it was about $2980
Ok was. Im not questiong your opinion of the 60k that gondef makes, I was just saying its wierd that you didnt make that much. All the e-5s and e-6s here (even some e-4s like me) live off post and get BAH and BAS, which is why I was thinking how come you werent making at least $2500 a month. Now that you said you didnt get that, it makes more sense. My peak in Iraq was 2980. That was with haz and combat whatever they call all that, plus a $1300 check when we got back for per diem. Not that that matters.actually i said i'm an ex-SSG i make like $60k a year now making Downy fabric softner.

yeah man...i ain't trying to start no shyt with anyone..just that the pay seemed high to me. god forbid that they should actually pay soldiers what they are worth right? My little brother is in Iraq currently for his second tour with the 101st. I served the 1st gulf then again in Haiti and again in Somalia.Ok was.
