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.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
consider being a mercenary, 150k a year.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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!
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
