lol.
I got half up front. The rest was split evenly over the years of my enlistment. The money wasn't attached to my check, but rather a nice annual installment separate from my pay check. Something to look forward to each year.
But it's also the fact that this is the second $50k bonus that I've received. You sir may be well off, but for me, $50k is great! LOL.
Plus it helps that i do love my job, and love being in the air force.
Oh, and call me airman one more time...please...see what happens! It's Staff Sergeant to you chump!
Again, Staff Sergeant may not be all that great to you...but i love it...wait, this is sounding familiar!
The first bonus to wrangle you, the second to keep you.
Oh, and Staff Sergeant, by all means, Id stand at ease and call you sergeant with respect all day if your stripes werent blue and inverted. But you arent the only NCO present, so we can leave it there.
In the infantry, we call you fruit booters. Cuz you LOOK like soldiers. But we all know better lol.
Now, if you paid any attention over the course of my time here in UWE, youd know im not a well-off guy. Im not well-off, but im not completely retarded with my money either, unless im on vacation (huh, Deming?).
And I didnt get two bonuses because I didn't re-enlist. The government can only have a handle on this much badass for so long. I did my duty, if I ever go back to the military, im gonna go join the Israelis.
