Bubba Joe's Sales Pitch...
Bubba Joe's Sales Pitch...
Before long, the Captain in charge of the indoctrination briefing began noticing that Bubba was getting a 99% sign up for the top GI insurance. This was odd, because it would cost these poor inductees nearly $30.00 per month more for higher insurance coverage than what the government was already granting. Of course, in AETC, nothing is impossible when dealing with the enlisted.
Anyway, the Captain decided that he would sit in the back of the room and observe Bubba's sales pitch. Bubba Joe stood up before hi s latest group of inductees and stated, "If you have the normal GI insurance and go to Iraq and are killed, the government pays your beneficiary $6,000."
"If you take out the supplemental GI insurance, which will cost you an additional $30.00 per month, the government pays your beneficiary $200,000."
Now, Bubba concluded, "Which bunch do you think they're gonna send into combat first?"
Bubba Joe's first military assignment was to Keesler Air Force Base and, because he was a good talker, the all knowing AETC officers assigned him the duty of advising new recruits about the most current government benefits, especially the GI insurance to which they were entitled.
