I remember back in 1979 when I reenlisted and received quite a nice reenlistment bonus (not as nice as you Nuke ****s, but not bad for my rating). I was looking for something to invest in back then. I still kick myself in the ass for not looking more in depth at the Personal Computer industry. Had I bought Microsoft or Apple shares, I could have been quite well off by now. Of course, my ex would have gotten her grubby fingers into that, too, I suppose.
