You will do OK, I suggest you put your 20 years in, then "retire" to a civilian career.

In the 70s mine was $33 a day as a E5 (equivalent). Of that $33 they took back $3 a day for "accommodations and messing" and another $1 a day for "miscellaneous dues" of which nobody could ever tell me exactly what they were for.
