@samosaur We have to sign up for a mandatory 4 more years active and they are going to subtract from the backpay any money we have made in the civilian world since being discharged. I had 8 months left on my contract and immediately started making more in the civilian world.
@samosaur We were offered a scammers deal, and most of us are refusing/holding out for a better deal. After what we went through the deal was another slap in the face. I can only speak as a Marine, but I’ve heard that the other branches deals were similar.
@RepPettersen Put your child’s wellbeing over your want for a career and embrace being a stay at home mom. Also live within your means so your family can live off of one paycheck.
I played with stick guns for most of my childhood and loved it. The federal workers can get real jobs that contribute to society. We don’t need communist goods, we can start to make our own. I’ve been wearing the same three pairs of shoes for the past 3 years. I go to thrift stores for clothes. We’ll start manufacturing more goods and the world will want them. Tourism, pfft.
