i doubt the checks are even fat
Not as fat as you'd think. Walmart wages scale about the same as pay for E-3s and E-4s, depending on the store and position. E-4 wages are like $18 an hour.
sad, getting walmart shelf stocker wages for far less honorable work
walmart doesn't have barracks, yet
yeah part of the deal is you're spending way less on housing and food so the wage goes further, which is how you afford the car financing.
Gotta get dat camero somehow
They can't, Chevrolet has disrespected the troops: Chevy Camaro Axed after 2024
Lmao owned
Damn I didn't know that, maybe they were planning on going the direction of the Charger/Challenger and doing an electric muscle car but uuuhhhh the kind of person who likes muscle cars hates electric cars and the new Charger got absolutely lambasted by the community so maybe not.
The only real benefit at that level is that you don't pay for food or rent in the barracks, so if you are disciplined and not addicted to sports betting, you can save all that money, which is why people blow it on a Camaro when they are 22, but then basically have nothing outside of that.
It's also why people in the military get married so young and divorced so often, as if you are married you get to have a little house on base with all your rent and food paid for, but once you make rank and can just live in a house, suddenly living with your wife who you always hated doesn't sound all that appealing any more.
They are not.
