Bogie, actually I was planning on an under $3000 claptrap once I got to Fort Lewis (I'm requesting 2nd Battalion in the 75th Ranger Regiment should there be openings and I qualify after all the training is done) ... if I get to a much more permanent state of affairs I'm going to get something nicer. Still thinking.
I know, I know ... lots of temptation to blow it off. I get $13000 from enlisting because (1) I already have a Bachelor's ($8000) and (2) I'm enlisting for 4 years ($5000) ... only 4 because I was thinking of Army Reserve and LEO duty. Wanted to leave that option open. Career sounds great too. Usually I would never discuss finances (you never know where the IRS is hiding) but thought it might clarify ... $13000 goes a long way towards a new car. It also makes a big sound when it drops out of your wallet ... yup public transport or the Humvees it is.
Thanks for the advice ... still digesting the car talk here
