    Being in the military and the mission that I have to accomplish...HELL NO...Everyone thinks that we get paid so much money. PPPWWWHHHTTTT!!! I havent seen a damn dime. These pay raises are to keep up with inflation. A 3% pay raise means a whooping 75$ extra a month. I still have to pay for food, rent, utilities, etc. the government only helps with a percentage. I havent even mentioned that I am a single father paying for daycare and her needs. So what do i have on average every month to save? About 40-70 dollars IF I am lucky....;)

    • Hello a:

      One can be for base closings, AND raises for the troops.. Plus, getting rid of contractors and paying the military HALF what they earned would help too.

      When I was in the Navy, I had to peel potatoes. Now, they have contractors doing it at $18.00/hour... That ain't right.
