But the statement of "how many people can enlist, damn near anyone" is incorrect. I can personally speak for the Air Force, we are pretty choosy. You get out what you put into the service. I don't want a bunch of fukktards. <br />And I counter with, " how many actually serve AND finish an enlistment...yet alone 20+ years?" Less than 25% of the force.<br /><br />With more than 75% of today's general populous being unable to join due to legal issues, financial problems, obesity, physical standards, tattoos/piercings...the list goes on. <br /><br />They SHOULD be paid more, but there need to be even tighter standards. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>wilit</b> <br /><small>Member # 3367</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,10,12,18,52,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Technically an assistant manager at Walmart makes more than an E6.

The chart above also does not show years of service that will chage the pay aswell, so it's not too bad at all.
