Muenkel 0 #1 April 26, 2002 In yesterday's paper they listed the average salaries for each state in New England. Naturally Connecticut has a slight lead over Massachusetts. Much to my surprise, I make more than the average. If this is true, why do I feel so broke?If you're not confused, you're not paying attention.Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #5 April 26, 2002 QuoteI still don't know what you knew.Not much apparently.....1 and 1/2 years after the military I'm still a $100 or so per week short of what I used to make in the military. Of course....I was in the military for almost 10 years to get to that so I guess I can't complain too much. "It's all about the BOOBIES!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kmcguffee 0 #12 April 26, 2002 QuoteHell, right now $8 a hour sounds like damn good pay. LOL, wait until you are an LT. I think we figured our hourly pay to be about $4-5 and hour when you figure in deployment time and field time where you are on duty 24 hours a day. Something to look forward too!
