The current bonus for Air GUARD is $50k. Your 30k is way off not to mention GI Bill and VA coverage for life.
And yes, I expect “oh gosh we might not have internet” to be something the military can handle.
- pseudo0 2y ago$50k on a four year contract. That extra $12.5k helps, but the total comp is still way below a civilian job that typically has better work life balance and better working conditions.

- purpleidea 2y ago> GI Bill and VA coverage for life Yeah, sounds good until you see in practice how so many veterans are forgotten, let alone the millions without any healthcare at all. Healthcare should be a human right for everyone.
- SV_BubbleTime 2y agoWhat years did you serve?
- stonogo 2y agoI served from 1998 to 2005. You only get "VA for life" if you incur a permanent service-connected disability. Everyone else who uses VA pays for it and are prioritized lower than disabled veterans. Retirees do not have access to VA care unless they too have a disability.
- NavinF 2y ago> VA coverage for life How much is this actually worth? If you have a full time job, you'll get insurance through the job. If not, you'll likely qualify for Medicaid. Here in California half the residents get free health insurance via Medicaid
