Took my wife's daughter' son to join the Army, North Carolina , Fort Bragg. Road trip.

A cool way to help him. But what is something I did not know? He is going to make $1,800 a month while in training. lol. When I was joined up, $87.00 a month.

I made 800 back in 2001. About what I'm would make at McDonalds. Big pay bumps came fast after OEF/OIF

I did a year when I got recalled in 2008. We stopped at a grocery store on our way back from their annual training and I went off on one of the boots in jest about how much he made compared the when I was a boot in front of the whole store.

I'm not really sure, this coming week will be two weeks for him. I'll find out later.

 

[rags747]

Is he looking forward to going overseas to any of the potential hot spots?

 

[Hardline]

I'm glad it was renamed Ft.Bragg again.

Like I said, this coming week will only be his second week in the Army. Once he goes Airborne then I might be able to answer your question.

I did my Ranger training at Fort Benning, Georgia.

I meant when you were in the Army did you get a stipend for being Airborne

Oh, yes, we got an extra $150.00 for static line jumps and $225.00 for HALO jumps per month.

sneaky way they did it. I do agree if you are going to name a fort after someone, make them good at being a soldier. Bragg was a lousy general.

Stop with the personal attacks and name calling.
