LOL, I've done my 6 years in the military and did my tours. I get paid basically the same here as I would in the states. Thing is I work 7 days a week for 12 hours a day, so I get an ungodly amount of overtime in. Oh, and they pay us an extra 35% of our paychecks for being in a hazardous duty area, which helps a bit, but then again taxes negate ALOT of the money we receive. Military people don't have to pay taxes when they're over here, we do, which in the 1 month that I've been here I've paid Uncle Sam almost 4 grand. .
Unless I decide to stay here for 331 days, then I get my taxes refunded to me, which brings me to getting back around August 08 if I decide to do that, which should not be tooooo far from the Camaro's hopeful release date.
