Yep - not for us seniors (although as a matter of fact, I was station at Offutt AFB in Nebraska during my enlistment). But do some math and you'll find that even if you did qualify for the top starting salary (unlikely) then you'd be making an average of $138/gig, and even less if you consider rehearsals. I made more than that playing in the area bands in Omaha when I was in the service, and that was in the late 70's! Of course, like many of our brave servicemen today, you could always qualify for food stamps...
