From day 1 I made more money and had more free time as an NLO than an E-6. Of corse in my day we qualified fast and on our own, they gave us 12 weeks of class and cut us loose in the plant.

Yea...with any new Operator job in the very beginning (training phase) you will lose maybe 15-20% of your overall pay until you get in shift then you will surpass an E-6 8+ pay. Its well worth the wait and keeping your finances in order as at $65,000/yr as a 8 year E-6 averaging 80 hrs/week working, you are actually only making $10 to $11/hr. paid as in the same way a civilian gets paid....thats pretty pathetic..Keep that in mind :)

ToadSuck:
Plus make sure to work with the Training bosses to get your GI bill while you are training...You can supplement over a grand a month or more depending on where you are at.
