2543arvin said:The only reason that I figured up the hours was because my wife told me that someone in the US had said something about how the military gets paid too much for what they do. So I decided to find out how much I make hourly......well, my pay divided by 144 hrs a week brought me to making just under $5 an hour. 4.90 IIRC.....and I thought to myself, that there is no way that anybody would volunteer to go to Iraq for a piece of $5 an hour.:biglaugh:
AF1JZ said:You are dead on!!! People don't know until they have gone over there. But, we'll save that for another day. Thank you though for your time in Iraq and making it back in one piece.
