Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests Poll: Armed Forces paid enough, to much, could ues more?

I was Navy and was in combat 2 times in my 5 years, and the combat time does not include the counter narcotics unit I worked with for 3 months during the spring/summer of 1997. For the job I was doing I believe that I was about $10-12K a year underpaid, but hey, since I had so much fun doing it, I really didn't care (at the time). Hindsight being 20/20, I'd say that I was an underpaid overworked pawn in a gigantic political game, but that's another story...
