17. $2100 a month for a job where they own you and your hours can be unlimited sucks.

And the fact that they so generously give you a rack on the ship to sleep in or a barracks room you have to share doesn't make up for realizing that your subordinate two pay grades lower brings home a lot more money than you do because performed the heroic act of marrying and having a kid. I also spent plenty of my paycheck on food because it's pretty unrealistic to plan your life around eating all your meals on the ship or mess deck.
Whether or not you agree the base pay is too low, IMHO the military's pay/benefits structure is anachronistic and unfair to single and childless people.
