Do you believe a soldier's salary is high enough? I thought so before enlisting myself, but after five years of service, I think it should be higher, I mean, the things we get to see don't get erased from our heads even with all the money in the world, but with more I could ignore them a little bit

Well, a lot of the compensation for being a soldier comes in the form of additional benefits and other perks. I agree that there's always more that could be done to help us have a higher standard of living but that can be said about many other professions too

So what do you suggest would be appropriate compensation for the time and effort we've put in?

I’m in a predicament. At my organization, pay-for-performance salary increases are based entirely off of a person’s annual review.

I like the work and love the people, but how long can you stay somewhere that doesn’t give raises?
