Freddy, are you the geeky looking guy with the glasses? (no offense)
Yes, I'm the geeky looking guy with glasses, don't be fooled by that photo though, I've got photos of me that won't let you sleep at night.

Bah, I don't get any bigger payment, after all, Corporal is a very low rank, and soldiers on compulsory service in Israel get below minimal wage, which sucks. Officers on the other hand gain a considerably high wage, but then few wish to become officers and be forced to sign additional 1.4 years of service (after the 3 years of obligation service), in order to gain even the lowest officer rank, Second Lieutenant.

Imagine a 90 ton fully-armed battle tank in your back yard. Not nice!
