Thanks, I found a list of all the spec jobs, the ATC job looks neat, so does airborne sensor operator. Still, I would really like to be infantry or armoured. Guess I’ll have to wait to get promoted to start making good bank.

What trades do you have in mind?

Huh, on the army website it said infantry soldier starts at 60000 per year which is 5000 a month. Where are they getting that “starts at” pay from then?

I did the math, after taking off like 800 bucks for shacks and food, plus like 500 for gas, that’s still like 3200 left for other things, leaving like 2500 disposable (maybe I’m forgetting something idk). Is that realistic?

I’m thinking if you’re a private making like 4500 a month. If you’re paying for shacks and food.

I was curious, what is living on military pay like? After paying for PMQs or a similar house, do you have much disposable income left?

Wondering how hard it is to get in the infantry? Are they always looking for more soldiers? On the website for recruiting it says the job is available so I’d assume you can get in.
