My dad is a Marine and both sides of my family have a history in the military. I really want to end up in the Marines, the only thing that is holding me back is the fact that I am terrified of death. Is there anything that you think you could tell me that would make me more confident about it? Thank you for your service as always 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Do you get paid more for working longer hours in the military? Fuck no. If you calculate the hours out and compare it to getting paid hourly we are getting paid severely less than minimum wage

    Just a tip. Your math on the minimum wage is a little off. The industry uses "2080" hours as the total hours worked for a a year during a regular 8 hour work day. This is used because there are months with more than 30 days in it. $7.25 x 2080= $15,080

      His math is spot on. Average full time hours for a month are calculated 160hrs/mo (40hrs/wk). 160hrs x 12 mo= 1920hrs worked a year.... multiply min wage $7.25 x 1920= $13,920

      @@a.cummings143 It's not. I always used to do the math like you laid out but the yearly hours worked/paid is actually 2080 hours. It can be a little less or a little more than 2080 depending on how many holidays you are paid for since most holidays fall on a weekend and then you get the Monday off or you work the holiday and get paid for it at the same time.
