My son-in-law who serves in the Air Force can call in sick, gets vacation days, housing help and good pay.
HEY!! I'm not complaining. Heck, my daughter gets to go to college with a TON of help from the federal government because her husband is serving in the military. (She's never served a day.)
Thanks much to all of you who are helping pay for my daughter to attend college!!

Your son in law is lucky to work in a job where the supervisors allow that, most people don't really have that anymore. Most of the time in the Military if you are sick you have to report to sick call and thats an all day affair, might as well just go to work.
I about blew coffee through my nose when I read that "calling in sick" BS.
That would have NEVER BEEN THOUGHT OF when I was in. You either (a) report for duty, (b) go to sick call.
None of this "calling in sick" bullshit.
I have seen remote assignments where there is a little Air Force or Navy detachment far away from any Military installation, usually at a college or ROTC station, those guys have ALOT of free time and privileges regular active duty members do not get. A friend of mine who worked in a MEPS in downtown LA got to call in if he was going to be late because of LA traffic, or if he was hung over from a party the night before. That kind of thing does not fly on regular Military bases or where is a bigger Military presence.
