Also, you’re right! Push up/sit up SUCKS the taller you are

Thankfully I was always in the 11-12 on the 2 mile run. Sit-ups we’re always 52 and stop, once I got there, push ups were 42 and stop!!😂😂🤣NEVER tell me the minimums cause that’s what I’m gonna shoot for!

Because you don't have to pay for rent, health insurance, food, or college?

People are forgetting all of this. I was stationed at Ft. Carson. The average monthly rent in Colorado Springs is $1500, monthly health insurance premium $370, food for 1 $300.

That's 24k a year in benefits without considering the GI bill. Some states, like Illinois, will also pay for 4 years of tuition/fees to CC and state schools. Illinois does this with the IVG (Illinois veterans grant).

My 4 years of service was well worth it.

Yeah, this came out last month.

If companies are responsible for unintentional trace allergens then it’s easier to make it intentional and give notice.

MORE MEAT FOR THE GRINDER

Base pay, sure. If they're calculating in BAS/BAH, then 40k isn't far off.

If it were a true apples-to-apples like some fresh out of high school retail worker making 23k was going up against our hypothetical E-1 buddy to rent an apartment off-base (highly improbable that an E-1 ends up off-base but let's just play the game here), the E-1 is going to all of the sudden have a whole lot of tax-free BAH money to pay rent where the civilian can go kick rocks.

Isn't the Airforce already an "out of shape" unit ?

It's not a flaw, it's a feature.

Reduce education, opportunities and healthcare, and people will be thankful that they can sign up to a military that provides all those.

Yup and the PT methods broke bodies then too....

Everyday Universities make a huge effort to head into irrelevance. Decentralized open-source knowledge will give the power back to people.

Just say Florida. Everything else is self-explanatory.

Meal Team 6.

6'2" 145 I could do sit ups all day, but pushups sucked for me. The run got better over time.

What is your amount for a "living wage" when the following are provided:

1.) Housing (Either housing on base or tax-free Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH))

2.) Food (Either on-base food or tax-free Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS))

3.) Healthcare (100% coverage free of charge)

4.) GI Bill

5.) Pension plan

At Ft Jackson they shared a platoon with people who got injured and were waiting to class up again. Fitco was a really boring three months of my life I'll never get back.

I wonder where he ended up

Check mate.

He/she/it works in mysterious ways, don’t he/she/it
