If you think this job pays an “insane” amount of money you are absolutely insane. My goodness. It’s O5 pay for the first fiveish years and goes up from there.
If you think you “work half the month” you’re doing something the majority of are not. The data backs me up-go look at the line constructions.
Signed, 27 year army/USAF vet who also didn’t love all my deployments and agrees, yes the hotels are just fine.
