HOLY SMOKES!!! I just stumbled on a poster for for the US ARMY.

Just ignore the yellow circle. But lookit the PAY SCALE FOR BUCK-ASS PRIVATES!!!

"UP to $50,000 enlistment bonus"
<-- Enlistment bonus?

"Pay STARTING at $1918-$2260 per month" <-- Mine was exactly $40. Flying $40
**

"Over $70K for college"

"$4000/year tuition assistance"
<-- And the fargin list goes on.

**Every cent was spent on what you were required to buy at the PX. It was an advance on your first month's pay, so that meant you did not see your first $40 until TWO MONTHS LATER. <-- TINS, Pilgrims

Fun Trivia: The pay for a GI when yer Unca was in was $12/month more than the pay of Custer's cavalry sojers. Stone fact.

E-4 over 4 was well under 600/month gross when I got out.
And that REenlistment 'bonus' I was promised when I ENlisted?
Gone with the wind.

Didja notice the bottom of the flyer? "Army Training and courses count towards your College Degree*

dam , we go from about 70 to a winter storm warning with 6-8 inches of snow…in less than 48 hours!….wtf!

got a 16’ x 20’ foot tarp over the hen house yard put on tonight in preparation for the snow

meanwhile , I tried lifting a topper for my Nissan truck and put it on by myself

bad idea

my back hurts so bad I cannot bend over enough to,put my socks on

thank gawd I have some opiates left over from the last oral surgery and I don’t know what i would have done without them…this is the second day of discomfort

on top of all that , damned if Irene didn’t fall down the steps….i told
her to lay off the absinthe…..

Happy Thanksgiving to my dear old friends and to my new ones!
Those of you who know me from before things are now different.
I now have hair and liked to be referred to as someone who has hair.
It takes some getting used too and appreciate the understanding now at my most vulnerable time in life

I told my wife I wanted her to pull my hair and call me names - sahe says my hair's too short for fun and games. Such a party pooper.
