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.
