You have proven that the military pays enough. You have also proven my statement earlier, that if they are struggling to make it, its nobody's fault but their own.

Health care is a joke in my experience. I'd rather pay to go to a Dr's office then deal with the corpsman who don't want to treat you properly.

god forbid you get a snippy corpsman when you go for FREE health care. Probably snippy at you because you're in his office ever 5 min for every little thing/trying to slack off at work.
