Trump’s Budget Calls for 2.1% Military Pay Raise
Military Times reports Trump’s first Defense Budget includes a 2.1% Military pay hike for 2018, a bit less than the inflation rate, but still better than SCoaMF’s paltry 1.6%. They figure this will equate to around $50 a month for Enlisted, and $115 monthly for Officers with 6 years or more time in service.
If it passes, of course.

It will depend on if Democrats have to care about the military so they can get re-elected or not.
It is better than what we’ve gotten the last 8 years and that is a good start.
I’m sure the D-rats would much rather spend that money on welfare flunkies and illegal aliens in order to keep buying their votes.
Ummm, I don’t think the Marines had been there. I say that because I did not
see one “twig and two berries” drawing anywhere on that building. Marines, and I am generalizing here, seem to have this uncontrollable urge to draw wedding tackle masterpieces wherever they go. That, and the whole “Wagner” thing. Didn’t see anything about what Wagner loves anywhere.
It is on the other side of the hooch.
Saw something at Joint Base Andrews when AF One returned the Trumps. He had his usual O-6 escort but she was escorted by a staff sergeant. When they reached Marine One, she turned around, shook the SSgt’s hand and thanked him. Talk about a class act.
I think it is difficult to fake real class. Oh, once in a while it may be possible to ‘mail it in’ and fool some people, but to do so consistently is difficult. I think they are both genuinely classy people who appreciate what they have, but who also have concern and empathy for others. Wideload was well known to be a rude person who, it is suggested, felt she was entitled and therefor ‘better’ than others. RR and Mrs. RR, Jimmy and Mrs. Jimmy Carter and a few others had reputations as being very classy. I’ve heard mixed reviews of the prior occupant and his Mrs., so don’t know what to believe. Time will tell. I believe in treating others as I would be treated; actually, treating them better than I would be treated.
How we treat others who can do absolutely nothing for us in return speaks volumes of us as individuals. Treat others well, until such time they ‘earn’ less hospitable treatment. Posers have ‘earned’ substandard treatment. Name-calling posers is justified by their theft of honor.
I am going to toss in here . The dems(wits) are recuiting Vets to run for Congess . So the DNC can regain control . So if they are serious about about Vets this should pass. Scoure Weasel Zippers. Joe
