2-Clicker 2-Minute Coffee Summary - 13 February, Sunday

Day 817, 06:55 • Published in USA USA • by Zheng He

A few months ago I was a regular citizen-soldier, buying weapons, fighting where the DoD told me, and generally having fun. I thought the army guys were lucky--the government paid for weapons, wellness packs, MTs, and gifts all the time. So when WWIII wound down, I decided the action would be overseas with the Army, so I joined up, fully expecting all these wonderful gifts in my Christmas tree.

!doh!


If anybody in the Army gets Wellness Packs, it ain't us lowly in-game Gerk-Generals. Almost all of our tanking is self-funded! They gives us MTs to deploy, but if, after losing the wellness on the trip (eJet lag), I want to fight at 100%, I must buy my own gifts.

But the big surprise was the weapons. See, Congress used to fund about half the Army's weapons, and a recent budget cut dropped that level to less than 3 days a week. The Army's solution is to create its own gun and iron companies and require each soldier to work for $1 to $3 per day. Yes .. with my 7+ land skill I can make over $20 a day, but I give up most of that for the Army. Why?

Duty, Honor, Country.

Because I love the Army - hoorah!
