Okay, I've seen this pop up several times and I've wondered as well. It looks like he's in Bellingham, will drive to Marysville to meet up. Then someone else would take over driving. And I think the quid pro quo is that he can get on base when maybe others cannot. Which is my take on it.I'm still wondering if @Haymaker2021 ever got his free chauffeur service?
Soldiers make too much money these days and the stores know it.
You may just like yourself a bit more if'n you started brushing your teeth at least weekly….Saw that myself. Interesting arrangement, as it seems there's nothing in it for the driver short of Haymaker's pleasant personality. I get that hangin' out by myself.
Oh, who the hell am I kidding? I can't even stand my own damned company!
I'm not saying they make too much money for what they do. I'm saying they make too much money for those little shops off post to have low prices. In days gone by, soldiers used to go to these shops and sell their duffel bags and other equipment to make it to the end of the month. I still have a radio that I bought from a fellow soldier. He paid over $20 for it in the PX, later in the month sold it to me for $5 so he'd have cigarette money.The chart is monthly pay, before taxes. It does not include the housing allowance
I was in Federal Army & Navy Surplus in Seattle last week. It's up the other side of downtown from the stadia, in Belltown. It's been there for ages. And I don't know why it's still in existence today. High prices on everything including the knock-off BDU's. Precious little of "real" surplus items. Several employees in the store but I don't know why.its not as expensive as the surplus shops
The museum at Fort Lewis was a nice visit last time I was in it. However, it's been renovated since then. Which means that it may have gone the "interpretive exhibits" route. Where they take out most of the good stuff artifacts and replace them with lots of big pictures and poster boards of text. I'd check online first, look at contemporary images inside the building. Which used to be the American Red Cross office, built in WW1. They still have quite a few vintage military vehicles parked outside, not in the best of condition considering the elements here. Tank displays from the Six Day War in Israel hold up better. The quarter ton vehicles are stored under cover but are in ratty condition..I do want to take the kids to the Fort Lewis military museum when I can.
