Actually the pay is very good, particularly if you adjust for the different tax treatments.  My adjusted pay is equal to $83,000 in the civilian sector, and this of course does not count healthcare and retirement benefits.  Plus I qualify for some other benefits such as a $300 per month childcare subsidy, etc.

How many years of experience to get that?

Yes, I think so.  It's been a good run, but it's time for me to go before I become an admin drone.

He was even higher ranked in the Carthaginian navy.

Sounds more like someone changing gender than changing rank.  ;)

You could recreate the entire incubator episode from MASH as a  Admin drone.

    Hawkeye: [regarding the requisition of the incubator being denied] We're not asking for a jukebox or a pizza oven.
    Captain Sloan: Oh, those I can let you have.
    Henry: No kidding! Hey, those would be great on movie nights. You got any pizza requisition forms?
    Captain Sloan: Just use the standard S stroke 1798 and write in "Pizza" where it says "Machine Gun".

Grumbler was a Commander?

I had no idea.  For some reason I thought he was enlisted.
