Vince, when you go to the messhall, either you pay cash or you have a meal card. so if you have a meal card, the government pays. but when you eat elsewhere, you pay. If you pay cash, you pay to eat as much as you want, either way you pay. civilians that work on base can eat at the messhall, they pay a different rate, believe me, they dont go there.
bottom line, I received jump pay, hazardous duty pay, hostile fire pay...I usually kept what I was making to myself.
and an e7 is a master sgt in the af, the supergrades e8-9.
the titles differ by rank.
I had a friend that wrestled for the af, they would send him to colorado to train at the af academy.
now fuck all of you
