    The pay is closer to $43k. The $35k is a signing bonus.

        IMO still way not worth it to end up working as the US’s Gestapo.

        No thanks.

          If I’m gonna be working for an evil empire i’d expect evil empire levels of luxury, yeah? The peons never get that though, so that’s even more reason to not be interested

                I’m case you’ve been living under a rock the past few days, this is what I was referring to: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/dc-home-rule-act-trump-puts-dc-police/story?id=124548993

                  I’m just explaining that the military isn’t equivalent to Gestapo, since Gestapo was the secret police. So you wouldn’t be working for America’s Gestapo if you joined the military.

                    The military in the US has basically become militarized police. They are mostly brainwashed crayon-eaters that gargle Trump’s balls, so we are all fucked.

        The food does come out of your paycheck if you live on base, but it wasn’t very much back when I was in. Granted the food was bad too lol

            At least when I was in 20 some years ago that was the case. I don’t remember how much it was per pay period.

      43k a year? That’s almost 30% more than you’d get in the Netherlands for a minimum wage job where nobody shoots at you.

        And in the Netherlands the wages are lower because the cost of living is as well.

        So that US salary comes to €36k, €28k I assume you calculate your minimum wage to then? (28 + 30% would be 36.4)

        About the same here in the UK, kinda need a reason beyond the money if you are going to join because the money is shit for what you have to do.
