Nope that is what I make right now. At 2LT I will get $000.00 WOOT. I can finally buy a new car with that. When I joined the Army I got a 14K sign on bonus. I am going to see if CAP has a $0K commission bonus hahahaha.

You can't just come in here and change the rules.

SMs don't get paid.
2Lts get $0.00
1Lts get $00.00
And so on

That's been the system since I've been a SM, and that's been a very long time.

WOOT! I just talked to my Squadron Recruiter (WHich is me) and he said because my promotion comes during spring there is a season bonus of 000K if I can get my 2nd Lt before summer. YAY!

You know, I wish Seniors got a free uniform (or at least 1 polo) upon actually obtaining grade.

That costs money, and all of our money is already spoken for. It's no different than any other volunteer organization - even military officers aren't issued uniforms, they purchase them (from what I understand).

True I guess. At least a key chain then, or a pen. When I got my binder I did not even get a pen. My younger brother however, who is a cadet, did get a pen. You can not tell me they can not spare pens for seniors. At least when we join.

I would much rather see money spent on something other than a trinket I am going to throw away immediately.

Congrats on the Promotion.  I anticipate mine next month.
