  • In lithuania conscripts and volunteers earn 340€ a month for the 9 month period they serve for daily expenses, and an additional payout which is based on their performance and type of service. Chart:

    For a fulltime soldier I believe the pay is around 1,500€ a month (18,000€ a year), and for a general it’s around 5-6 thousand a month (60,000-72,000€ a year). Most of this is based on a quick google search, so if it’s inaccurate, that’s your warning lol

    I know an well experienced American Colonel lives under the salary of $128,700 (~111,365.70 euros) what are you able to purchase in your country with that amount of money?

    2 basic houses in the countryside. Or 1 relatively nice one





  • Haven’t had US school food, so I can’t make a direct comparison, but given I heard ketchup counts as a vegetable, and the weird gloopy slime milk I’ve seen online, I imagine it’s a lot better here

    For the free school lunch, usually we’d have random rotation of a starch (mashed potatoes, buckwheat, or rice usually), a salad (beetroot, bean, coleslaw, I don’t remember the others on rotation), meat (pork patties, patties stuffed with egg, chicken cutlet, fish patties), a soup (bean, cabbage, beetroot and some others), and a drink (usually tea, juice or kompot). For the paid lunch there were more varieties, and extra goodies like pastries

    And for the quality, I wouldn’t say it was quite like home cooked. I mean it was all cooked fresh and all, but it used a lot of long shelf life vegetables like dried beans and potatoes, and sometimes it definitely had an aftertaste of basement lol. Though at least most of the stuff was fresh. There used to be a truck unloading produce whenever I was going into the school since I got there early

    Overall I’d definitely say the school food was at least palatable
