[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 358202, member: 1514"] LMAO...omg...LMAO...oh gosh...tears...rolling...diet coke snorted on the monitor! Okay...she has half a point. She has heard somewhere about the pay for being in war zones and how it is more than just being at home and how soldiers come home with a lump sum normally. Especially single people who are getting all their needs met while being overseas so they dont have major bills to pay. Now the hazardous duty pay isnt all that much extra...I think its like an extra $2 or $3 bucks a day...aint that grand? Lives are worth so much to us. But...when you add that to their say...$1700 or so which is now tax free because they were in a war zone...well...and now they are there for at least 9 to 12 months...well you can see where it sounds like a whole lot of money to a high school kid. You can get the real pay on military.about.com I know at one point Jamie figured out that he was making about 25 cents an hour in the Marines. They work long hours sometimes 24 to 72 hours at a time. If out in the sandbox it is on at all times. No time off. I can give you more examples if you wish...lol. But hey...I actually think it might be a really good idea for your daughter. Nothing like a good round of bootcamp to straighten one up. [/QUOTE]
