If you knew that joining the Military, you would not get paid, would you still Join?
I been meaning to ask this question to other veterans and SM for some time.
The question is not a trick question, it is a question that you will have to be honest with yourself only and not me.
there are no right or wrong answers.
Reason: The day I took my oath, I was at Ft. Hamilton, Brooklyn, on my way to the La Guardia airport to go to reception station at Ft. Sill OK. I had the records of about 8 members on my hands. During the flight on a 727 I looked out the window and started thinking of finding a job t be able to pay the Army back for all this training I was going to get. I never asked anyone about pay and I didn't know I was going to get paid until I got my first check shortly after completing in processing.
So for me the answer is : Yes to this question.
Your reply still has me laughing. I am happy you are an officer for such a well thought out career moves.
