I've been a PROUD Army wife for 12 years and we have 1, 10 yr old son,for the past 5 yrs my husband has been deployed 7 times for 6 months at a time. The unit goes to Iraq 6 months there and 4 months home. By the time they board the plane from Iraq to the States they already have orders and a report date to return back to Iraq. I was wondering what the public thought about Soldiers and exactly how much they're expected to sacrifice for the country? I'm also courious to know how much does the public think that Soldiers should or deserve to get paid? I think most people would be shocked to know that a Manager at MC Donalds with 2 years into there job makes more than a SFC(Sergeant First CLass)/E-7 with 20 YRS IN THE ARMY. Whether I was a military wife or not to me that's just sickning. The public has a HUGE misconseption about military pay & benefits, yes we get housing but do they make it public they charge us on average $900 per month for a SGT, same as medical, we pay monthly.
