And nobody nowadays knows that back in the day, in the US Military, we were paid below the poverty level. I just checked and a PFC is paid almost twice the poverty level today.

I took a pay cut pumping gas to join at $288 a month. Can’t complain, wife and I retired at E14 (8+6). She got out at 13 during post Desert Storm drawdown and drew over 250k over 26 years. I’ve been retired for 32 years.
