Are US soldiers paid too little?

The fact that the US is basically defended by blacks and hispanics would suggest the pay is very low.

The fact that the 80% of Servicemen in actual Combat specialties (Infantry, Tankers, recon, etc.) are white, I would have to say you're full of sh*t AH.

Minorities are more predominant in the higher tech fields, computer geeks and such.

I would hope my Avatar would've helped Midshipmen.

I'm a CTMSA Currently at CNC Corry Station, just downrange from NAS Pensacola. I'm killing time before I report to the U.S.S. Bunker Hill.

I'm due to be advanced to E-3 here by the end of the month though, and E-4 six months after that....CTM's have an accelerated advancement program.

I was at NATTC P-Cola for about 8-9 months. Going up for E-5 this cycle. Been in for just under 2 years - planning to make E-5 by 2 year marck . I'm with HC-4, homeported in Sicily, but off on various missions all the time
