    No signing bonuses when I enlisted and I lived in the barracks. Base pay was all I got.

    Just looked it up, $551.40 then less taxes ect was definitely under $500 in my pocket.

    A recruiting station?

    9/11 and the perpetual war that followed kind of changed things up a bit and made recruiting people a bit more difficult. The big recruiting bonuses are only for certain jobs, either one that require a high altitudeaptit score, ones that really suck that nobody wants to do or both.

    Looked up the base pay for 2005. I was making $1,456.20/month when I first came in. an E3 now is making $1931.00 now. I wonder how much a lap dance costs these days? It was $20 when I was in.

    Depends what country. I would imagine the pay goes further when stationed in a shithole with cheap lap dances.

    Well I wasn't too far from the Vietnam 'Conflict' so I don't imagine there was tons of people volunteering. My overall ASVAB score was 96 (out of 99), as far as the specialty scores I qualified for every job. They were paying re-enlistment bonuses then but not enlistment bonuses.

    The reenlistment bonus was absolute crap when I got out in 2008. It was around a month's pay for signing up for another 3-4 years. Laughed my way out of their office and into a contracting job.

    I realise you have done many things - but were you really a lap-dancer?

    Lol No. But it was one of the main reasons why soldiers were broke shortly after payday when I was in.

    I have to say I am a bit disappointed - I was hoping there were some pics floating around from those days. But then perhaps a good thing as too many elderly expats would have died laughing. :smile:
