>>507486793Heard they're going to uncap the $50k bonus so Quick Ship™ stacks with the skills bonus. You'll be able to get up to $90,000 soon.
If you invest that $90,000 over your 6 years of enlistment, that's $160,000 compounded at 10% annual interest.
Not to mention your base pay and other bonuses you'll pick up along the way whilst having all your food and accommodation needs met. Even more bonuses if you end up getting deployed!
All in you'll probably come out with $350,000-$500,000 after 6 years, a ton of life and job experience and straight into university - all paid for of course. Plus at 24 after having an adventure on the other side of the world... you'll be swimming in pussy at university.
Honestly, it's not a bad deal at all...
