This. When you get out your TSP can be rolled into a regular 401k. The military is okay only if you get a job that translates into a civilian career (virtually none of them especially in the USMC) or you stay in forever.

The longer you're in the less competitive you are in the civilian labor market.

At least it's a smart guy job with a security clearance. Security clearances are valued by defense contractors and the sort. Something like fuel handler or infantry would be worse.

Yeah but only thing I've learned in the marine corps is you don't want to work for the government if you want to make money

There are over 100 million people on welfare in the US and only 1.4 million people serving in the military. And everyone in the military is a taxpayer

better than going to college and over-paying some smart ass professor, with an attitude while getting a rape whistle blown in your ear just for looking at some bitch.

I'm a muhreen and pretty lazy with my finances (One of my navy fed cards has been frozen for months and I haven't fixed it). I've had 95% going into the roth tsp for two years just for the lulz.

If you don't own a home you might consider buying one and renting it out when you PCS. Obviously do your research with respect the the housing market in your area prior to purchasing. I did this at my last two duty stations. You can get a VA loan more than once up to a limit (around $500k). Low APR and next to no down payment. As a result, over the past 5 years I've built up around 70k equity in those properties I wouldn't have otherwise had.

Do people in college not pay taxes? I must have missed the memo. Don't you have some buggery your missing in your bunk soldier?

I'm in the military and it is really just workfare for retards that kept from getting a criminal record.

The whole military industrial complex including the standing military is a massive waste that could go to better things.

Why not leave or go into an MOS you can take pride in? I'm guessing you're either < E4, in some logistic/admin field or both?

>>1652178

Truth.

But to be fair the military is the biggest government welfare and worker training program in the country. For a lot of kids growing up in the ghettos it's the only way out to a better life.

As long as you keep sane and you're having fun, you can invest a fuckton. I used to save $500 a paycheck and blew the rest on booze, food, and concerts. I'm 3 years in and sitting at $40k. Not bad for a 21 year old sitting in the motor pool. Also since you're not dumb, look into CLEPs and DSSTs. You can get a underwater basket weaving degree with that shit.
