[quote=Anonymous]Well we have a DoD budget of over $700 Billion a year so that explains a lot of it. An O6 Captain(18 years service) in the Navy grosses $138k plus a housing allowance with great heath/dental benefits. And the 4 years at the Academy counts towards service. After 20 years of service they will get a pension and can get a job in the private sector. In The DC metro area you see the expensive cars driven by officer families. Not the case with enlisted personnel. You do your 20 years in the officer cadre and then move to the private sector. You never accrued educational debt so it is easier to spend on quality cars. Plus with a generous pension, they do not have to save/invest as ordinary citizens. I'm the son of a retired Navy Captain.[/quote]
