I went into the military to serve my country. I knew the pay was low and I was going into harms way.
The difference between getting low pay from a company and low pay from the military is this:
Company Boss: I got a zillion resumes, you should be happy you have a job
Military Officer: You are doing a heck of a job. I cant give you a raise, but take a Hollywood shower, take a 72 hour liberty, or at the "E" club, "the drinks are on me".
In short, what little there was, was shared. Hard work was appreciated and rewarded. My present company's stance is the beatings will continue until morale improves.
