I’m here to tell you, you really don’t want to know the kind of looks you get when you start praising that while you’re on active duty. Those were some of the most hate-filled glares I ever got.
Now admittedly, it’s not that everyone gets the same level for all these things – housing for an enlisted person such as myself was certainly less than an officer with equal time in service was receiving, but I sure did enjoy that same level of access to health care, food, utilities and education as even the ones that had been in uniform for 20 years. Try to find an equivalent to that in the civilian world work force!
