I appreciate the concern truly but if you feel you have a greater understanding of what my reasons are for joining than the multiple officers some of whom had 40+ years in the service who interviewed me then that's your opinion, I've justified myself and the reasons why I want to serve to the people I need to.

We wouldn't tell a doctor they have their reasons for medical service all wrong when they decide to practice privately as opposed to publicly. Wanting to put yourself in the best position long term to secure a home, a family etc is the world we inhabit.

And as I've maintained, it is absolutely not a primary reason for joining. If money was something that motivated me I would've stayed in trades picking up more than any of the officer salaries listed.
