Legionary pay in modern money
#13
yeah the pay is lousy, but look at the benefits:

You get government supplied gear...Which happens to come out of your pay but who's counting?...it's Supplied to YOU!

You get training by the army. If you make Immunis you get to specialize

You get to see a whole new world outside of where you were born, and kill the natives of that area if they cause trouble :wink:

You get to share an 8-man tent with 7 other people with less than 1 foot of personal space. Makes for great dinner conversation! It makes you strong and supportive of each other!

You get paid for 25 years. If you do good, you can end up like your Primus Pilus and make a boatload of cash! Let's call that "Incentive" or "Motivation".

You also get to build walls and fortifications and then get to partol them. That ought to instill a feeling of pride in your work! :roll:
