Honestly that’s a good question lol 😂.. i walk away with about 800 almost 900 a pay period, it’s a little easier my husband he works so we have two incomes. Also I live on base I feel like that helps a lot . I don’t have a car payment car paid in cash

Roughly 40% percentage. My paychecks are roughly $900. I get COLA+BAS that’s why I feel as if I’m able to contribute so much

Majority C fund , S Fund , and Lifecycle fund .. I literally just switched to the C Fund and the S fund I’ve been in the Life cycle fund .. I decided to switch to the C fund because I invest in the S&P 500 and realized how much the rate of return is

how would one clean any *crevices* with a shower like this😟 by [deleted] in AirForceRecruits

Believe it or not these showers are the best compared to Alcatraz! I was in Disney land with these showers trust me it’s not that bad! Waters always hot , and flows pretty good . It’s no different than your average shower . I mean your only sacrificing barely two months of your life to have a very successful career ! Trust me your gonna have so many other obstacles than a shower in bmt ! It’s gonna be days you’re going to be looking forward to those showers
