is the figure that I've seen tossed around, but they wont take you, typically, until you've had 3-4 years of infantry expericence in the Army or the Marines. Still, 150k can retire you in the USA, if you know how to invest it, and you should have saved another 30k in those 3-4 military years, too. It's something that a lot of high school guys should consider, for sure. The GI bill will pay for your college, too, to a certain extent, at least.
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
consider being a mercenary, 150k a year.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Depends on the person.
Talked to some guys who have done sanctioned/sponsored/ordered killings.
It affects everyone differently. Some people have no problem with it, others get PTSD and suicide a few months later.

I am a military guy would you be willing to kill your own guys? As in your fellow countrymen and veterans? If so then this job would be for you theres no loyalty other than the dough. I did my four years active USAF and I am going guard in the USAF. If you do enlist remember this there are no guarantees in the military!
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

An M4 with an Eotec holographic site, Surefire lighting system, flip up iron sites and all the other goodies will run you over 2K.
Oh, and a subscription to Soldier of Fortune magazine I'd guess will be 20-30.00 bucks per year.
Just sayin'

Be a contract firefighter overseas. Same amount of money. Six months of training.
I'm talking about Blackwater, or the equivalent, in Afghnistan. you won't be fighting US troops, you'll mostly be bored from sitting around guarding something. If you think a give situation is too risky, don't sign up for it, that's all. When you are in the military, refusing an assignment is going to get you sent to Leavenworth.
the military will issue you your rifle, etc, and you save your money while in there. the contractor will arm/equip you, too, it's usually not feasible for you to travel with such armament, not on commercial airlines. the contractor might bring over many of you at a time, on a leased jet, tho, so it's feasible that then you might bring your own gear.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
