re: Military pay
I only get COLA (Cost of Living Allowance) wich amount to and extra ~120 or so a month to offset the high prices of everything in Seoul (they just instituted that last year). Oh, and another 50 bucks because of being so close to N Korea. not bad really.
Currently only the Air Force uses 'dorms' and the most common word we use for cafeteria is DFAC (acronised Dinning Facility)
