This is an actual letter I received from one of my cousins this morning. I would like to hear comments from all those presently serving.
I was given this information from 2 men in different branches of the Armed Forces.
Become aware that the Military is suffering from a economic hardships due to the way the Govt. is treating them. I just got wind of this today.
The Government is paying the enlisted people every other month or every 3rd month. So here is how it goes:
Month 1 - no pay
Month 2 - no pay or 2 months pay at once.
or Month 3 - pay for 3 months or discharge from the military. (as per agreement)
So the Govt keeps them waiting almost 3 months between checks to keep them in the military. (and go months between checks)
Yes, one of these Men just came from Iraq - and was paid in this way!!!!
I will not let it be kept quiet ! ! ! !
