It took me years to figure out half the stuff you did when you were 22, so I'm not one to give too much advice on the money front.  I did get my own post-grad degree on my own, and I'm working on my second, but I'm not sure how it's going to help me while I'm in the AF.  Mostly just padding for when I get out years from now.  The military has a terrible track record of properly using the experience and education of its members, so I doubt I'll ever get to utilize the stuff I actually know.

About all I'm worried about now is making sure I do something I really enjoy when I get out.  I can't stand the thought of doing this job as a civilian after I retire.  I see what it does to those civilians.  Sure, they make good money, but is it worth it? ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/11/whats_in_this_f.html#comment-80571 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/11/whats_in_this_f.html#comment-80571 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 09:04:14 -0600
If you believe that every citizen deserves a freebie handout, why deprive them of a freebie handgun, hmmmm?

But I admit Mom helped, too.

And yeah, I figured out all I get from the bailout is the chance to do the bailing.

And I'm not going to get a thank-you note from anyone, either.  Those will go to Congress, who will coerce me to pay other people's bills.

I am *so* happy fluffy-bunny happy to know that just buying the truck wasn't sufficient, for example, there might be a surcharge.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/11/whats_in_this_f.html#comment-80569 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/11/whats_in_this_f.html#comment-80569 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 06:12:04 -0600 ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/11/whats_in_this_f.html#comment-80563 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/11/whats_in_this_f.html#comment-80563 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 22:08:17 -0600 ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/11/whats_in_this_f.html#comment-80562 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/11/whats_in_this_f.html#comment-80562 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 22:01:30 -0600 ...you will be billed for your share as soon as we can allocate funds to all those poor misbegotten wretches who didn't buy into your decadent and- certainly racist- economic fallacies.
Sharing the wealth is patriotic- surely you can see that, comrade.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/11/whats_in_this_f.html#comment-80560 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/11/whats_in_this_f.html#comment-80560 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 19:56:59 -0600
