black water makes hella good money. I read on yahoo. $1,222 a day for being in Iraq.

 

My neighbor's an ex-marine who is now running an electrician business, riding the free healthcare from being a gulf war I vet as well as the great pay from his "I make my own hours and work from home" job.

Military's a great career jump starter if you're a contractor. My neighbor said that beyond the free healthcare he also got some good management/leadership training from being a marine that really helped him expand his business in his civilian life. The dude is doing well for himself.


And the comments about "my ex-military friends are lazy and doing nothing with their lives" <-- well the military is just like college. It opens up doors, but it's up to you to step through them.



What exactly are the criteria for becoming a veteran and collecting the healthcare, anyways?

 

My buddy Jake was over there as a Blackwater guy.... was making ~$30K/month tax free.
The guy made awesome money, but a few of his buddy's got killed, and he wasted A LOT of people.
He made a life for himself with the money when he got back; but isn't sure if it was worth it
Jake was also ex-special forces which is a pre-req for pretty much any serious military contractor job

 

Seriously, thats life in general no?
A Thank You to those who serve/d.

 

i wonder if the marines are like the army..i get calls for recruitment every other month to join the army lol.
i dont know what part of NO they dont understand.

 

Being a recruiter is a hard job, especially in the Bay area

 

Being a marine is very much different than being in the army. For starters anyone can get through army basic training whereas you have to really want to be a marine to make it in. A lot more is expected of marines and rightfully so. They are considered one of it not the toughest and most well trained military organizations in the world.
