Stop in for a cup of coffee

Yep. Take every dime you are entitled too. I've never been in service, but that was my attitude toward Unemployment, etc. Always figured I would just take my paycheck for work done. But, really it's your money that they put away for you. So many people dipping in the pot that are not deserving for one reason or another. I've payed by payroll and taxes all my life. So I will accept anything they want to give me. You payed the day you signed up and again with ever time you got injured in fulfilling your commitment.
Another well said. I'm with you. I wasn't in the service but from what I have heard it doesn't pay all that well but your sacrifices are huge. SIgn up and enjoy what benefits you have coming to you.
