Gawain 0 #2 December 10, 2006 US servicemen and women are covered by a component of SGLI, known as TSGLI (Traumatic injury Servicemembers Group Life Insurance). The max payout isn't as high, but the minimum isn't as low. It covers things like limb loss, brain injury, incapacitation, etc. The trade-off is that wounded US vets receive far better care, in dedicated facilities. No other country comes close. My own compensation aside, if I had to add all the cost factors for my recovery, my bill has got to be somewhere in the millions of dollars right now. Certain US Special Forces re-enlistees are seeing re-enlistment bonuses as high as $150,000 (very specific guidelines need to be met). edit to add: Having said that, money should not be a motivating factor for joining the military in my opinion. There has to be more to it.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

bazelos 0 #3 December 10, 2006 If I could, I would join just for the experience, not the money, what good is the money if you can't walk? I am not having a dig here to anyone disabled, but I don't think I am brave enough to go on living if I had some IED going off in front of me sending me 40meters away and my feet somewhere else. The TA is fine if you are a student, you don't get sent off for too long to the desert, and everything (as far as I kow this covers university fees, and living costs) is paid for you. I am not sure about the pay in the "normal" military though.He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gawain 0 #8 December 10, 2006 QuoteIs there a signing bonus for new recruits if they are signing on for six years and Helicopter Flight training? Honestly, I don't know. That type of sign-up involves sending the recruit to WOCS as well. Bonuses for officers (if I'm correct) don't really exist. There are a couple reasons, officers get paid way more than enlistees, and that pay has premiums (like flight status pay, etc).So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

GQ_jumper 4 #13 December 11, 2006 Certain US Special Forces re-enlistees are seeing re-enlistment bonuses as high as $150,000 (very specific guidelines need to be met).Quote Yeah that's mostly for Warrant's and senior NCO's looking to get out at 20, they offer them a six figure re-up to stay in a few years after they are eligible to retire. As for the rest of us lowly door-kickers, i thin we're looking at a 2.5 multiplier right now, which when you break it down doesn't amount to crap. I did the math the other day and if I remember right i'll be getting maybe 10K at the most if I re-up while in Iraq in a few months, and that's for like 3 years. Let me double check on the number though, I may be mistaken.History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

It's not lookin good for me to get a big chunk of change while I'm over there, and considering my ex-wife pretty much got my whole re-up bonus the first time I guess I'll never get a big ol' bonus.

GQ_jumper 4 #23 December 11, 2006 In akarunway's defense we did have a little discussion via PM after he posted this and he was more than personable, I appreciate you guys stickin up for me though, my hat goes off to you. And as for what rehmwa said, people always accuse me of trying to bully people, but when have you ever seen me threaten someone. Saying something like I dare you to say that to a soldiers face isn't me sayin I'll kick your ass, I'm just trying to discourage people from saying things that they wouldn't say to another persons face, it's about being a man.

Skyrad 0 #24 December 12, 2006 £500,000 might sound like alot but in the UK the price of the average house is £180,000 if you can't work due to those injuries and are in your 20's or early 30's that doesn't leave you much to live on. When I was in if I was killed whilst on duty my insurance would only have paid out £20,000. Loose a leg and I think it was less than £10,000. Pretty crap really.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.
