And it just isn't what you make, it's what you keep after taxes. Believe me, I learned this the hard way when we moved to Wisconsin several years ago - to move back to Georgia, we took a $25 k per year pay cut and still ended up with more money left after taxes. Low taxes = good. Bad weather and higher taxes = bad. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> The Fetz dog: http://www.leerburg.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/79673/page/25

Chris Duhon Webboard User Reg: 08-14-2004 Posts: 702 Loc: Southern Louisiana Offline	Michele, I appreciate very much your good looking out, but the only problem with that is I use to live out west for a while, and although they pay more it cost more to live there. Thats like I looked at the NYPD yeah, they would start me off at 80K a year, but it's going to cost me almost that much to live in a one room shack <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> You can't beat the cost of living in the south, I believe the cost of living to pay ratio is much better down south. Once again thanks very much Michele for the look out. COL Nathan R. Jessup for President

Michele Moore Webboard User Reg: 09-20-2004 Posts: 66 Loc: AZ Offline	Actually Arizona and Georgia are pretty close in cost of living. California is the expensive state <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> And the bonus is it gets to be about 118 degrees out here in the summer <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Will Rambeau Moderator Reg: 01-25-2003 Posts: 5983 Loc: Idaho Offline	We can control our borders here in Georgia. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> That was mean of me, but just the problem alone would remove Az. from any consideration of me ever living there. If I'm going to be paying state taxes that go towards other peoples health care, those people should at least be U.S. citizens ( and I say that as a naturalized citizen - I went through the effort to become a legal citizen of the United States, they can also. Otherwise, they're illegal invaders in my book ) To each their own....

Kris Perkins Webboard User Reg: 11-24-2005 Posts: 8 Loc: Oklahoma Offline	First I don't know crap about the MWD, I have spent 6 years in the Air Farce oops Air Force and 9 years in the Army. GO IN THE ARMY!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the Army your career is in your hands, you work good you get promotion, you f it up, well you get to try to get promoted again. In the air force it is all about how well the guy in charge of you can write your yearly evaluation, if you get a spineless retard for a boss, well he will write a weak, illiterate evaluation. Yep, I am disgruntled about the Air Force, because I performed the same in the Army and been rewarded for it, where the Air Force didn't really care. Besides, Chicks dig soldiers, Ya know real GI Joe types, or Pilots, and if your enlisted in the Air Force your not a Pilot.

Will Rambeau Moderator Reg: 01-25-2003 Posts: 5983 Loc: Idaho Offline	Mike, I thought about it but we're having new MWD folks join the board each month, and they each have a bit to add about their experiences and what they see as the pro's & con's for their service - so I'd ask that we all just let the thread run and learn from each new MWD handler that cares to post in this thread, ok?

Michael Wood Webboard User Reg: 09-18-2003 Posts: 64 Loc: Iowa City Offline	Ok... but for those out there, No I did not go to the service... not to say I didn't want to. I finished my degree and was offered a great paying job with a lot of good management and security experience. Sorry I did it for the $$$ those damn shool loans! There is a lot of disscussion on which is best branch... that depends on the person... as far as MWD I found that you can be a handler in pretty much any branch now and because they are needing more people everyday you just have to put your time in and be the best you can be, let your intentions be known... that was the best advice given to me. Hats off to you service men and women! Go get em K9! Michael Wood
