I took college classes at night for ten years to get my degree...so that I could become an officer and be paid better, and support my family better.<br /><br />So in 1980 i finally finish OTS, get my commission as a 2nd Lieutenant, just as Reagan is coming into office. The first thing Reagan does is give the enlisted guys a huge pay raise, with commissioned officers getting a much smaller raise. So, it turned out that, had I stayed enlisted I would have made more money (with my time in service) than I drew as a brand new 2nd Lieutenant...of course in the long run it turned out better..but in short term it didn't. I didn't mind...Reagan was taking care of the backbone of the military after years of Carter neglect so I was happy.A Modest Scriblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698092153994590787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-4644806079015660662014-05-21T15:12:45.393-07:002014-05-21T15:12:45.393-07:00I pray for the day I pick up the paper and read of...I pray for the day I pick up the paper and read of another assassination of a president. This is really a sad time for this country, run by children, and an electorate populated by children, colleges filled with children and graduating spoiled brainwashed children. <br /> I am given some hope when I hear of a poll taken of the children who now say all the affirmative action is definitely unfair. Maybe some change. The idiot in the white house has damaged it beyond repair but has in his second term become hated even by most of the people who put him there. It is a sad time to be an american.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820329703683247263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-83046888798643094502014-05-21T07:41:56.250-07:002014-05-21T07:41:56.250-07:00It's an insult to those enlisted in the milita...It's an insult to those enlisted in the military for sure!!!
