Paid cash for everything I own the last 5 years including 2 turbo Miatas and everything on them, no credit cards. About $20k of my income is tax free, with another $15-20k reported.

How many years do you have in, Sam? Any prior enlisted service?

I'm guessing an 03 base pay + BAH + BAS = 1 million gazillion fuffillion dollars. Or at least compared to an E3 @ <2 years.
Yeah? try an E1 @ <2 years

you get demoted or something? E-3 is automatic at 18 months unless they changed since I got out.

Points don't come into play until you're an NCO.

Look at any points calculator though, race doesn't get factored in.

I don't think I would've joined if I had to start as an E1 (no offense). How are you still E1 though? Did you JUST join or did you get into trouble?

I should have stayed in

65-70K, Hawaii; would they have thrown me out after 40 years?

57K base, over 60K w/ overtime. I pay cash for cars except my wife's Trailblazer SS that we just bought and I put 10K down on it. I have 6 cars and 5 are paid for but not worth as much combined as the 1 that is not. I put more into my house than my cars since I know that is appreciating as opposed to my cars. My wife is a Realtor (I did not include her pay in the poll) and made just under 50K this year (her 3rd year) and hopes to double that next year. I hope she does too.
