That’s in contrast to the House Armed Services Committee’s 2.1 percent increase in its version of the 2017 defense authorization bill.
During a May 10 markup, the Senate personnel subcommittee unanimously passed its section of the 2017 bill.

Meanwhile, Verizon is refusing 7.5%! To All, we no longer need Verizon, nor can we afford them. Just switch companies. I pay TING 70 bucks a month for two phones. Verizon is history.
ReplyDelete956 you obviously know very little about the strike issue. If you fid you would know that pay increases are NOT the primary reason for the strike. Educate yourself before you speak.
ReplyDeleteI am concerned that TRICARE reforms will significantly impact the military community negatively -
