unpopular opinion regarding our pay

This is probably going to get downvoted to hell but I genuinely think we in the Air Force get EXCELLENT pay as opposed to the civilian world. The Air Force is extremely easy to where all you have to do is not get a DUI, don’t SA anyone and know how to do your job - and you can get by. Even GETTING a job on the outside is hard if you don’t have the connections. Degrees are losing value by the year, so they don’t even matter.

I am an A1C getting around $1800 a month to profit from a very easy job. I don’t necessarily have to worry about food, I don’t have to worry about rent, and though I am a lucky enough person to not have massive health concerns- I don’t have to worry about medical bills. If I had dependents, they would be covered as well. but even if they weren’t, the military didn’t give me any dependents so the argument where people say “it’s not enough for my family!” is conceited

I think you all need to be more grateful, and the shit where the E5s were upset E4 pay was increased substantially was genuinely cringey
