To the person who commented online about the military E-2 pay: I am in the military, "all" the commissary, exchanges, PX's, and gas stations must now be competitive with the outside markets! There is no such thing as free health care anymore, you pay into it and dependents cannot be seen on a base. Your pension after 20 years is 50 percent of your base salary "now," under the new system coming into place, it will be 40 percent. Welfare is free and it can go on for generations for doing nothing for it!
