True...Joe College doesn't run the risk of getting shot at to the same degree as a soldier. That little detail can't be ignored.

I did not serve....but I have worked closely with the military.

Look, I'm not the sort of person who says that if you didn't serve you're not entitled to an opinion. Not at all. But I can tell you this - the money ain't shit when compared to what you lose in your humanity.

Your probably right, first time re-enlistments aren't very high. If the army was a "good gig" as I suggested, you would expect first time re-enlistments to be quite high.
