Yeah, military pay is public information. Anyone can look it up. Military pay stubs when I was in the Navy 15 years ago look like any other pay stub I’ve gotten since. I don’t remember seeing a miscellaneous benefits heading.
But even so, it sounds like they were just trying to make military benefits look attractive. And they are! Free health and dental for your whole family. Access to tax-free shopping on base. Huge portions of your pay (e.g. housing allowances and combat zone pay) are not subject to income tax. The retirement package is second-to-none. Gold standard educational benefits, etc. I figured that the tax and health benefits alone were probably worth at least $20k to me compared to a civilian job. It took me 10 years after I left the service to work back up to the same standard of living I had before.
I’ve seen the rates several times. It comes up pretty frequently when it comes to comparison salaries, pay-rates, or maybe they call them pay-grades, and that sort of thing. I don’t recall seeing really detailed breakdowns though.
If I saw a man in decline, what does that look like? Does he have a particular t-shirt that he wears or am I looking at posture or maybe his footsteps are heavier?
Poor, poor men! Will no one think of the men! How is a man supposed to get liquored up and sweet-talk a woman back to his Ford F-150 and force her to have consensual sex! Is this not Trump’s America now?
The projection is getting so weird that it’s becoming almost incoherent. “Women and minorities are committed to upholding the status quo and punishing people for crimes they didn’t commit and are mindless TV ideologues”
