    Not everywhere.

    And attitudes vary. In military towns, there is almost a certain resentful attitude between the military and the civilian personnel, at least in my experience. When we were stationed at Fort Stewart lots of places didn't offer any type of discount because the whole town was military. I worked with civilian health care professionals, and man. There was some serious shade thrown on a daily basis. Military personnel consider(ed) civilians undisciplined and lacking direction, civilians consider(ed) military personnel under educated dickbags who joined because they had no choice.

    In towns away from bases I've found people to be more gracious.

    That said, the expectations of performance vs the compensation for service members is decidedly unbalanced. The paychecks are small, and the military has generally made up for that by providing access to healthcare free or at low cost, housing (on post or off), and rations allowances for service members, along with things like tuition assistance and bonuses.

    Now Hagel is wanting to cut pay, housing, and the other "perks" that balance out the low pay. Kinda sucks, for everyone. Especially those in military towns whose economy is so fed by the military family that finding jobs is a bitch. The reason a lot of wives don't work is because there really isn't anything for them to DO in those towns. (Looking, again, at Hinesville.) That's why I was glad we got stationed at San Antonio then when it changed, I was glad to go to Baltimore. I'll be able to find work.


    Anyway. This probably isn't drunk thread appropriate.

    Somewhere in our office lurks a douchecanoe with a pack of pink post-it notes.

    Theres a reason I'm getting out. And its because I will never see a pay increase in the foreseeable future. Not only that but my job is less secure because there are tons of people willing to do it for cheaper. And my skill level isn't as appreciated especially when theres some low-rent fuckwad waiting to undermine me.

    It was hilarious the first time that post-it note showed up. Despite repeated removals, it has reappeared four times. Jerks.

    In case you've missed it, I'm attempting to drum up TiBette nekkidness in support of xrayvision's charity MS bike ride. Ladies, show your support (and your boobies and your bums) for the cause.

    You have heard I'm drinking this weekend, right?

    And I've already made general, half-hearted, non-committal, easy-to-back-out-of statements to xray. He's very determined.

    HEY! Its for the good of mankind.

    Let me also be clear that I have not asked any Tibettes for them to auction off their bodies for my cause. This was Angel's idea and happyfunball COULD HAVE CLARIFIED THAT BETTER.

    I've just been prodding her to post in the boobie thread for fun.

    Insurance benefits. You can argue that its stupid societal conventions, but I know when it comes to renting or stuff like that, married couples are viewed more favorably.

    Sorry xray, was that not clear? My apologies. He's actually been kind of fun about it.

    And I was going to ask if that line works on all the ladies.

    So my mom won't die from the shame of having a daughter living perpetually in sin. I have been advised by said mother that this is a legitimate medical condition which would, indeed, result in her premature demise.

    Its cool. I just don't want to be viewed as more of a creeper than I already am. I'm just going for consistency here, not raising the bar.

    I don't mind being creepy.

    Happyfunball, if xray's charity race hits its quota, will you show off your happyfunbags? I promise to green dot all over your boobies.

    So, now, though, isn't she probably the one putting up the pink sticky note?
