And another thing - there's a noticeable difference between having part of your income taxed and having all of your income taxed. My first civilian job paid about the same as what I was making when I got out, but my take home pay got kicked in the balls because only about 2/3rds of my military pay had been taxable.
Take this into account, or you will have a "WHO'S FICA?" moment when you get your next paycheck, and it will suck.
