The House passed a 1.6 percent pay raise for military personnel.
The raise was part of the $648 billion defense spending bill that boosts the budget by $17 billion starting Oct. 1, the beginning of fiscal year 2012. The House vote on Friday was 336-87.
Federal employees not in the military currently face a two-year pay freeze.
