WOW! You're quite the big time operator.
It would cost at least $2 to write and mail a cheque up here. Almost
that much to send the money by etransfer.

I would just send one of these

Just like my buddy who passed away couple years ago. He always used $2
bills.

Back in the 60's the air force base at which my dad was stationed would pay the airmen in $2
bills...their whole check. Of course the checks weren't as big back then. The purpose was to show
the communities how much money the military was spending on the local economy. The idea was pretty
good for a few months after that payday all one would see was $2 bills everywhere.

Don't know if other military installations did that or not.

Pax River talked about it but the payroll was just too big and I think
they do a lot of direct deposit anyway.

Whiteman AFB was pretty good sized, but I don't know how big, comparatively speaking. It was a B-47
base back then. Had a great photo shop and hobby shop which is where I spent most of my summer days
when not working.

I was talking about "big" in the number of two dollar bills it would
take. Back in the olden days the average enlisted salary was $100 or
so. That is about what I was making as an E-3 in 1965 before my pro
pay and sea pay.

I was thinking 'big' in numbers of people, or numbers of bills. That pay of yours sounds about
right. I started at $72/month.

Now you are just upper-middle class making the equivalent of $72 per hour!

Maybe a $100 after extras. Seems like I made about $75 as an E-3 in
1965-66

I must have been thinking of take home pay. When I was drafted, June of '65, the base pay for E-1
was $83.20. I believe my take home was about $72.

Maybe I was thinking take home also. As I did not realize we made that
much.
I know I made more in the three months I worked for NCR in 1965, than I
made in the 9 months service. Was not much difference, but was more.
