However on the upside:
No rent
No water/electrical fees
No medical fees
Food services provided
Earn 2.5 days off per month
You get every government holiday off (which is good considering my last job was retail sales and it's kinda exactly the opposite)
Also:
I get promoted (hopefully) July = Pay raise
I hit my two year mark in September = Pay raise
Fiscal year 2010 = Another pay raise
Probably the only thing that's going to suck is when I go to Afghanistan next year but it's all good because you get paid more while you're over there
