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 hate the idea of dignifying Harry's comment with a response.
I've never thought of military service as a 'job'. When I think of a job, I
think of living in one place, getting up and putting in my 8 hours a day,
and coming to my nice warm home every night. Another way to think of a
'job' is as a piece of work. A union hack might have to write a paper.
That's a 'job'.
Military service can be a 'job', but for most it's a lot more than that.
