And even though I'm in the AF I don't get to enjoy all the luxuries you ATC guys do....My job can only take me three places, and unfortunately they are both Army posts or the beautiful beachless sands of the desert. Our linguist bonus does cap out around 60k, but from my experience so far, its definitely not worth it (wish I picked a different AFSC now), even though that is potentially two decently equipped Camaros. Back to the main topic though, hopefully I will be able to put down at least 3-4k as soon as my Jeep is paid off and a little while after the new kid arrives. I'm sure I can squeeze two car seats in the back somehow. Or just let my wife follow me in the Jeep with the kids...

What about us Marines? When I re-up I'll be lucky to even get a pat on the back. If I want a bonus I should just go to Iraq for combat pay. I may have to so I can get a Camaro when the Gen V comes out.
Bonus...I wish
