Yeah, the salary sounds great until you figure out how much bullshit and overtime can be required.
He's bragging about a $61.5k associate professors salary.

Umm ... the gal who answers the phones where I work gets $107k/yr and change before overtime and is underpaid because she's basically herding cats (i.e.: engineers and architects) and is not happy when one of us dumps several hundred pages of a spec book that's been marked up with red ink (I use blue and green too) in her inbox.

...He is not bragging. He's complaining.
 
I see it as ironic, really. I have little doubt this moron supports $15/hr minimum wage (or higher). I also have little doubt that he would not see this as the example of how other jobs, which already had a higher wage/salary becoming de-valued, which is what people like myself have been saying ever since this particular cause has come out.
 
Do you think the incentive to stay on for twenty years and get permanent pension and benefits, is a good way to do it, or would it be better to spread the rewards out more to the soldiers doing four to six year terms?
We don't get a pension anymore.
Well somewhat
It is a mixturebof a pension and a 401k that is government bonds that the armymatches 1 to 1.
So you can make out with MORE then pensioners.
You also get the free Healthcare

With a 1-to-1 match you'd need to set aside at least $750k for the interest on 30yr treasury bonds to equal an E-5's base pay.

It is not JIST bonds you know... it is called the TSP. You can look I to it.
I had to take an 8 hour class about it
 
That's the one. From what I understand, you can choose between bonds and stocks, both domestic and foreign, though not necessarily which specific stocks.
 
You should maximize your matching contributions, not a lot of legit options to double your money at basically no risk.
I'd say that Zach should set aside as much as he can afford to set aside while foregoing guilty pleasures like cigars or a six-pack of beer.
