So I'd like to know, seeing I've got a box with a few pay stubs in it
from being a guest of Uncle Sugar, I'd say that doing military service
IS actually considered as a "job". But now I'm left in confusion
because the distinguished poster I've mentioned seems to be skeptical
of that claim.
So I present this question to the other distinguished posters on
rec.boats:
"Do you, or do you not, consider service in the US military as being a
"job"?"
What say ye?
I think if you are wearing a uniform in an active combat zone, it's a
job and a half. If you are in the Guard and working post Katrina NO, it
is a job.- Hide quoted text -

Being in the Guard and working post Katrina, you ay "NO, it is a job"

???

Harry, I thought you stated that being in the military is a
"boondoggle"

I'm really confused now.


I suppose I should have spelled it out more carefully, considering the
audience here. Try this: If you are in the National Guard and worked in
New Orleans (NO) post-Katrina, it is a job. If you are performing rescue
service in the USCG, it is a job and a half.

The short version: if you are or were in the military and are or were
exposed to a high degree of mortal danger on a regular basis during your
tour of duty, it is a job and a half.






I wonder if you were performing a support or staff job if it would be
considered a job? Harry spends all of his time with his fat fingers on
his keyboard passing judgment on others. It is safe to assume he has
never performed any job where he was in mortal danger. On 2nd thought,
if his wife comes home and finds out he hasn't vacuumed or done the
dishes he could be in mortal danger.
