[QUOTE="tat2bass, post: 8218123, member: 635306"] Not saying we won't have some type of war. There will always be war. But the optempo and frequency of deployments will not be what it has been in years past. And are you joking royalblue08 about it ******* to be in the military because of the pay. Keep in mind that making that 60k a year is after taxes and I have to pay zero money for benefits for myself or anyone in my family. That is a gigantic expense for a lot of families. Me and my wife have enough Money to basically do whatever we want within reason. With our enlistment and re enlistment bonuses and deployment money we paid cash for a 200k home back home in North Carolina which buys a very nice home. In NYC 60k might not sound like a lot, but if I were stationed in NYC I would get around 3k a month extra just for housing and also a bonus pay for cost of living in that area. So I would make more than 60k there [/QUOTE]
