[TPR] Miltary Pay Increase - More from Obama Administration

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Thanks for the sanity check.....I am always amazed at the BS well meaning <?> 
folks come up with on Obama like is he secretly a Muslim or was he really born 
in Hawaii........its like come on.....go after his record during the last 2 
years on health care or anything else he has done or not done but I am sure the 
liberals love seeing this crap.

P.S. Michelle is not a woman

Yea, this one has been going around for years.  They just added the  
name Obama to it this time.

>> Military Pay
>>
>> This is an Airman's response to Cindy Williams' editorial  piece in the
>> Washington Times about MILITARY PAY, it should be printed  in all
>> newspapers
>> across America .
>>
>> Ms. Cindy  William wrote a piece for the Washington Times denouncing the
>> pay  raise(s) coming service members' way this year citing that she stated a
>>
>> 13% wage
>> increase was more than they deserve.
>>
>>  A young airman from Hill AFB responds to her article below. He ought to
>>  get a bonus for this.
>>
>>
>> "Ms Williams:
>> I just  had the pleasure of reading your column, "Our GI's earn enough"
>> and I  am a bit confused. Frankly, I'm wondering where this vaunted
>>  overpayment is going, because as far as I can tell, it disappears every
>>  month
>> between DFAS (The Defense Finance and Accounting Service) and my  bank
>> account.
>> Checking my latest earnings statement I see that  I make $1,117.80 before
>> taxes per month. After taxes, I take home  $874.20. When I run that through
>>
>> the calculator, I come up with  an annual salary of $13,413.60 before
>> taxes, and $10,490.40 after.
>>
>> I work in the Air Force Network Control Center where I am part  of the
>> team responsible for a 5,000 host computer network. I am  involved with
>> infrastructure segments, specifically with Cisco Systems  equipment. A
>> quick check
>> under jobs for "Network Technicians"  in the Washington , D.C. area
>> reveals a position in my career field,  requiring three years experience in
>> my
>> job. Amazingly, this  job does NOT pay $13,413.60 a year. No, this job is
>> being offered at  $70,000 to $80,000 per annum............ I'm sure you can
>>
>> draw  the obvious conclusions.
>>
>> Given the tenor of your column, I  would assume that you NEVER had the
>> pleasure of serving your country in  her armed forces.
>> Before you take it upon yourself to once more  castigate congressional and
>> DOD leadership for attempting to get the  families in the military's lowest
>> pay brackets off of WIC and food  stamps, I suggest that you join a group
>> of deploying soldiers headed  for AFGHANISTAN ; I leave the choice of
>> service branch up to you.  Whatever choice you make though, opt for the SIX
>> month
>>  rotation: it will guarantee you the longest possible time away from your
>> family and friends, thus giving you full "deployment  experience."
>>
>> As your group prepares to board the plane, make  sure to note the spouses
>> and children who are saying good-bye to their  loved ones. Also take care to
>>
>> note that several families are  still unsure of how they'll be able to
>> make ends meet while the primary  breadwinner is gone. Obviously they've
>> been
>> squandering the  "vast" piles of
>> cash the government has been giving them.
>>
>> Try to deploy over a major holiday; Christmas and Thanksgiving are
>> perennial favorites. And when you're actually over there, sitting in  a
>> foxhole,
>> shivering against the cold desert night, and the  flight sergeant tells you
>>
>> that there aren't enough people on  shift to relieve you for chow, remember
>>
>> this: trade whatever  MRE's (meal-ready-to-eat) you manage to get for the
>> tuna noodle  casserole or cheese tortellini, and add Tabasco to everything.
>> This  gives some flavor.
>>
>> Talk to your loved ones as often as you are  permitted; it won't be nearly
>> long enough or often enough, but take  what you can get and be thankful for
>>
>> it. You may have picked up  on the fact that I disagree with most of the
>> points
>> you present  in your open piece.
>>
>> But, tomorrow from KABUL , I will defend  to the death your right to say
>> it.
>>
>> You see, I am an  American fighting man, a guarantor of your First
>> Amendment right and  every other right you cherish...On a daily basis, my
>> brother
>>  and sister soldiers worldwide ensure that you and people like you  
>> can  thumb
>>
>> your collective noses at us, all on a salary that is  nothing short of
>> pitiful and under conditions that would make most  people cringe. We
>> hemorrhage our best and brightest into the private  sector because we can't
>> offer
>> the stability and pay of civilian  companies.
>>
>> And you, Ms. Williams, have the gall
>> to say  that we make more than we deserve?
>>
>> A1C Michael Bragg, Hill AFB  AFNCC
>>
>> IF YOU AGREE, PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO AS MANY PEOPLE  AS POSSIBLE AND
>> SHOW YOUR SUPPORT OF THE AMERICAN FIGHTING MEN AND  WOMEN.
>> THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
