I mean from episode 1 he jumped out of that 2 seat convertible and flit around like a giant manic fly refusing to light anywhere. As soon as there was an issue he’d swing that hair out the door with that doofus grin like NOT IT!  He’s very seldom chosen to stick around and solve actual problems. 

He so much as said he doesn't get involved with disciplining/managing problems with  the kids. He left it up to the various Moms to handle their problems. (this from the episode where 2 of the boys were scrapping in a parking lot). 

When the time is right, he's at the head of the parade: "Hey! These are my 4 - count 'em FOUR! - wives and ALL these kids are MINE!!!" When there's a scuffle over who-gets-the-window-seat and a nose is bloodied: "I don't do discipline. Let the kids' MOTHER handle that"

Where does he live? Salaries vary tremendously depending on geography. Nurses in my area (expensive, close in suburb to a major city) can top 100k and travel nurses are making even more than that. 

I do think the military is a factor though. Those salaries run low and there is no getting around the salary and career ladders. There may be some additional locality pay and may be a housing allowance that helps.

He lives in Vegas, and works at a hospital under Valley Healthcare Systems. He more than likely got a very nice sign on bonus.

He is a Lieutenant in the USAF.

 

I don't know anything about how the military works but if he is in the USAF, is he working as a civilian? Especially if that is the case, as a nurse with an MS, in a larger urban area, I'm sure he could be earning $100,000 annually - especially if he works nights and/or weekends.

In any event - good for him! The world needs more good nurses! And he is certainly a more productive member of society than his father.

Yeah I saw this one! How ironic that they were all forced to move from Vegas to Flag in 2018 (way to go Robyn) and now Kody wants to go back! They’ll have to sell their land and their mansion to afford it. 

House prices have gone up drastically since they left.

And I honestly think he believes his life is SO fascinating that the show would match MASH for the number of episodes. Narcissistic jerk.

I have thought for a long time that Kody is under the impression that he is the star of the show and the women are just the supporting characters. While they seemed to want to show how polygamy is just so normal and fine and not abusive at all, I suspect Kody's agenda was to show the world just how hard it is to be a polygamist man and so they would stop feeling so sorry for the women and see how hard he has it.

Are Hunter, Paedon and  Garrison still in the military or have they completed their service?  Because I agree Hunter would not be paid the same salary in the military as he would make in private life.

I’m down for an 18th season of Kody and Robyn being left high and dry. There are already rumours swirling that Kody is frustrated with Robyn and that there’s tension between them now that the other wives have gone. It’s been rumoured that Kody blames Robyn and Robyn alone for the other wives (sources of income) leaving. Kody appears haggard and stressed in recent photos, as does Robyn. They no longer have the other wives’ money to rely on and they appear miserable. 

I’m definitely in for at least one season of that. After that, they can fade away as they sell their mansion and wind up in Janelle’s trailer on Plague Pass. 

You're right TurtlePower!  I'd be in for that!  I'd love to see Mr. & Mrs. Douchecanoe go downstream without a paddle!

Idk if this true, because it's the Sun 🙄, and I just don't trust an article that does the "according to a  source...". 

HowEVER..there is a pic of Kody supposedly leaving a yoga place. He's peeking from under a hoodie that says RISE Armament. 

Dude's a walking ad for guns. It's chilling.

Military family here: salaries are solely based on ranks and years of service. An officer in the logistics department will get the same wages as an officer of equal rank in e.g. ATC. There are extra allowances for when you deploy or in shifts (though not always, depending on what field you’re in) 

Medical personnel, personnel in ATC and flight crews make way less money in the armed forces compared to their civilian counterparts. So, why do they choose for this career path? Simple: The forces pay for college/your training, you have a guaranteed job (which can be hard in aviation) you gain a lot of experience, there’s free health care and guaranteed housing. Most will eventually retire once they have fulfilled their obligations towards the military and move on to better paid, regular jobs in civilian life. Hope this clarifies a lot.

Not sure if Hunter’s still in the USAF. I’d say he is, as he will be obliged to serve for a number of years after graduating if the USAF paid for it. He could be temporarily assigned to a civilian hospital for a number of reasons, including specialised medical training.

I hope so. But it wouldn't surprise me if he's taught them all to shoot.

I learned when I was a kid. We hunted and grew almost all our food. Older kids would get out of school for hunting season. We also had a wood burning stove and I had to learn to split wood and, when older, use chainsaw.

Common now in rural areas.  The difference is that Kootie sells weapons meant to be used in mass murders.

I have absolutely no knowledge but Kody strikes me as the “I tell my kids not to touch the guns so they wouldn’t dare” and then he leaves them easily accessible. If he locks anything up at all, I’ll bet it’s to prevent theft. He just seems like a jerk that way.

This! And he allegedly sells semi-automatic guns. That leads me to believe that he is either absolutely ignorant or deliberately turning a blind eye to all dangers involved as he apparently stores a lot of it at home. Not even in a safe area??

He and Robyn sure are being targeted by “paparazzi” lately just doing mundane things. To me it seems like no one cared about them before, but recently there are shots of them running errands looking tired and haggard.

And I’m loving it. Those two created this.

If you're a nurse/doc/medic in the military, are you permitted to moonlight?  There's always a need for people to pick up shifts and most people do it to pay back their student loans.  

So if it's allowed he could certainly supplement his income in a big way. I can totally see it being prohibited, though.

Good question…don’t know about medical professions. I’ve never heard of this but am aware of some moonlighting in security (bouncers at night clubs) but that’s only done with the military’s approval and not that common. A lot depends on your rank and military duties.

The more I think about it, the less likely it seems to me that Hunter is working in a civilian hospital. The one exception being an internship within a specific medical field that cannot be done in a military facility.  The opposite happens a lot though: civilians working for the military, particularly in medical facilities.

The Magic of the internet. From LinkedIn, Hunter works for Valley Healthcare systems in las Vegas.

Per Glassdoor, the average nurse with a BSN makes $99.8K. With a Masters in nursing, $100K seems likely.

Kody and Sobyn would likely disagree stating that she does “work”. She’s a reality tv star after all and “runs” that epic failure of a joolry business. Not that anyone else considers packing up 2 necklaces a month (me guessing obviously) or being trailed by a cameraman (whilst doing nothing) work….

Valley Health care Systems seems civilian. That really does surprise me, to be honest. Hunter graduated from the Air Force Academy in 2020, which comes with an obligation to serve 5 years in active duty and 3 in the reserve. Technically, he should still be serving and the military is depending heavily on civilian doctors and nurses to keep everything staffed. So, I’m not quite getting why he seems to work in a civilian hospital and not in a military facility.

Anyway,  I’m glad he managed to take care of himself, got a good education and found a good job without being in debt. Makes you wonder where he got that from! The work ethic could be Janelle’s, but neither Kody nor Janelle are known for sensible financial decisions!

Another gossip story about Kody, except I believe most of this one. Kody blames Christine for the kids being pushed away — KODY is the one who pushed the kids away, not Christine. Kody is still angry with Christine (100% believe this). Kody thinks all the publicity is “to get back at him”. Yeah, Kody, Christine falling in love and planning a wedding is to get back at YOU 🙄

Wow. This guy. He better grow another kidney to get virtually knifed.

Kootie, in his ongoing quest to massacre the English language, states that he thinks "this is all a stint for TLC to get David on a contract, so he and Christine are relevant..."

The definition of "stint", when used as a noun, means a fixed or limited period of time spent doing a particular job or activity.

I am assuming he means stunt but in his little gerbil wheel of a brain, who knows.

But, but, but, Kootie knows BIG words like paradigm!  

Asshat doesn't have two brain cells to rub together.  I hope he's raging with jealousy, and making Sobbyn wish she'd have accepted a proposal from one of the many dumb ass suitors that she said were beating down her door.  🙄

Well, what can we say? This reply was to be expected I guess... Kody is perfect and never wrong. It's always somebody else's fault. I find such persons quite scary to be honest. It shows how detached these people are from reality and are living in their own bubble...

I have he feeling that Kody thinks all of the show money is “ his” money— that the family pot belongs to him because he is the head of the family (and the “star” of the show in his own mind). If the budget for the show is fixed, he likely sees any money going to other’s contracts as somehow being taken from him.

Because how dare Christine leave him. If he was a genuine person who cared about Christine even though he didn’t want to be with her any more he would’ve ended it with her a long time ago. He wants Christine to want HIM.

Does Kody understand that without the "sister wives" portion of his reality show, he's not a bigshot Z-list celebrity strutting around Las Vegas wearing a Titanic necklace and a bluetooth?  Does he think that any wife who dares leave him should live out the remainder of their days roaming the Earth in sackcloth, bemoaning their broken hearts?  Give me a break.  Sign ol' David up on that sweet TLC contract, Christine can use that extra money for a 12-day Hawaiian honeymoon (one more day than Robyn's).  And she won't even have to buy store-brand Hamburger Helper to pay for it.

I think it depends a lot on 1) what type of degree you have (AA, BS, MS, PhD.); 2) what setting (doctor’s office, public health, school nurse, hospital) and 3) geography.
