Post Body

E-4 about to sign the next contract pretty soon for 35L. Right now it’s a tier 9 bonus which is a nice $59,000. After reading some other posts on here it’s taxed at 22% which gives me $46020, paid in a lump sum right?

Also, have a combat compadre who just re-upd for the 35L slot and is also a SPC while it was a tier 9 bonus. Somehow, someway, he only ended up with 18k paid in lump sum. Does that sound right to any of ya’ll or did he get fucked by the big green weenie once again?

I’ll take a baconator and fries please.
