i think ur takin it too far man, you can ***** and moan all you want, you are not gonna change anything no matter what anybody thinks man, so just do your duty and when it's over forget about it.



Ok then, I will make sure that I start working towards getting it made into law that cause you are under thirty years of age, you can not make more than one dollar an hour over minimum wage. I am over thirty so it is required by law that I make AT LEAST five dollars an hour over minimum wage.

Suck it up and drive on boyo, youll be thirty someday.



homie i make $30 an hour as a sub-contractor, but u know what i'm doin my time in the army as a single soldier so dont u preach to me about anything i sucked it up and dealt with it and u being a 30 somethin year old u need to suck it up as well
u tellem cute soldier

thank you hunnieblushing bigsmile

let me get something understood for all the anti-war, anti-military anti-be-a-nice-person people.

I am an ex soldier that spent six years in service. I went to Bosnia instead of Iraq cause that was where it waas decided that I would serve better.
I have lived both the married life and the single life in the Army, so I do know what I am talking about in these discussions. I also know that Just Say Hi forum rules state not to attack or belittle other posters in every single forum. If you do not like a particluar thread, you do not have to reply. It is that simple. So for those that can not remain on topic, or are incapable of being polite and unantagonistic, please go elsewhere and leave the rest of us that are willing to discuss something in peace.

Thank You.

when you go on deployment as a married soldier, you get what is called seperation pay. If you are single, you dont get any extra money for dpeloyment.

What gives? Your just as seperated from your family as the married person is... Just because the married person is deployed does not mean their household is in need of mORE income...


What do you all think?

More than likely its to help support the family's extra needs at the time of deployement, ie extra childcare, money for medical and so on and so forth. If your so worried about it, join and go over there. I'm am by far an anti military person, but do you see me complaining
Its not like your fighting -the- war or anything, so just deal with it.


As far as covering extra needs during deployment? There are no extra needs. The simple fact of the matter is a soldier DOES make enough money to live a married life with children while in the military active duty. Their spouse does not HAVE to work in order to make ends meet. The only BILLS they have, IF they are responsible enough are a car payment, car insurance, telephone/cable and internet bills. And that is IT. housing is provided for free or you are given an extra so much amount every month in order to pay for rent off base and utilities.

Now, an E1 Basic Private may not have MUCH left over after paying for the car, insurance, tv, cable and internet but they WILL have some left over. The psouse stays home and takes care of children. If they were not wiling to do that then they should not have gottne married, etc. in the first place.

le's see...
I start a serious discussion and I am cussed at and accused of things by someone too ignorant to even look at my profile and see that the accusations they are making is not true, and other people are so rude as to try and change the topic of the discussion.
I give some background information about myself explaining how I know hat I am talking about, and ask people to be polite and respectful and you accuse me of not getting along?

Just became a single soldier again and I agree we can sit here and argue all night if we wanted to but it would not change anything all it would accomplish is upsetting people so lets just stop now.

umm...ok.

Navy here...took the position they were going to do whatever they wanted to do, whether I liked it or not. So far, only got screwed once in my pay...it was their fault, but I wound up paying for it (typical). My civilian job pays the bills. I stockpile cash, pay the bills several months ahead of time, go on deployment, pick up where I left off when i get back.

Easy day.

What you saw on tv about "wives" standing in line for free food is not happening just during the time that their spouses are deployed. And in relaity it is not happening over all at all. Those people you see in lines for free food are families that have three four and five kids. I am sorry but you know how much money the family has, do not bring another child into the world if you do not have enough to support it. But that is an entirely different subject.

While I was still in the service, I DID do more than just sit and discuss things. I worked at several different levels and got quite a bit changed at the post level where I was at. From what I understand, some of that those changes have been brought up to be done army wide. So please, do not sit there and accuse me of being like others in here, who are just trying to stir things up.

I asked a ismple question at the beginning of the thread. you can either answer that question or not participate, its your choice.
