There is an old saying if you want to make big money you don't stay in the military. It's been like that over 200 years. But of course the military members should always get a good raise. I was old school back in the day i joined to serve my country not for pay and we didn't have good benefits in the 80's compared to now.I guess that's why back in my time majority of troop service ended after first enlistment.

I think the pay needs to go up for all enlisted and not just the juniors. Close the gap from enlisted to officer pay. Like an E1 to an O1 with same TIS shouldn’t be a $2k difference

The Senate Armed Service Committee does NOT get "a 50% vote on what goes into the NDAA". Each chamber has a committee which votes on a bill to be submitted to the entire chamber (House or Senate). The respective bills are then amended or not amended and, eventually, may then be voted upon by the entire chamber. The House passes its bill and the Senate passes its bill. They must be identical before a final bill goes the the president for signature. If the bills are not identical, they go to a conference committee, comprised of members from both the Senate and the House. Their task is to to work out the differences between the two bills so that they can be amended or re-introduced as identical bills in both chambers. Then the Senate and House each pass their "revised" bill. This time, it is identical to the other chamber. When the bill passes both the Senate and the House, it can finally go the the president for signature.

Long gone are the days where soldier served to do good for god and country. Economy has spiked and can’t expect good soldiers that want to continue to serve with minimum payment in military ranks. As a NG soldier, I’ve personally seen too many sm’s ETS due to losing money to show up TDY. At the end of the day, ppl have bills and compromises with debt and civilian jobs paying higher than ever with inflation

DOES THIS HELP WITH ENLISTED RETIREMENT PAY ??

I wonder if it will carry over to Va disability?

So now we are look at $100 pay increase per month if you end up making rank. So if they are into retention what is the incentive to stay in an additional 100 to not hit HYT? Whats the point of Any/All E-6 and above(enlisted) personnel staying in . They also say it was people complaining about it for the last few years....if thats the case wouldnt those people who complained be e5/e6/e7(if they are shit hot). Most people also dont talk about the entitlements when it comes to military pay. There is alot about military pay that is not taxed but some people are ignorant to even look at the W2 given to them. Comparing civilian and military pay is apples and oranges. Military you bas and bah if you live in town(there are exceptions) thats not taxed at the end of the year. Yes most military members are in poverty in terms of tax bracket however they have food/housing 90% covered for.

@lynco3296

You have to remember that the E-6 and up crowd is probably going to do the full 20 and get paychecks from the military for the rest of their life. That is probably one of the greatest benefits the military provides. Most junior enlisted will just do one contract and leave.

@gamingu2m301 I am supporting a family of 5 on a single income. All I'm saying is the monetary incentives for juniors hasn't worked and won't work for retention all while still screwing the dudes who have been in for a decade. And you're pumping a large raise into a demographic that has seen the highest chapter rates in decades. And the vast majority of them have no bills, no responsibilities and get their food and housing payed for already. This is a really good way to keep ostricizing the ones who have dedicated their lives to the army despite the way they have been treated. And encouraging short time enlistment for the wrong reasons. I'm all for a raise. The military in general hasn't even matched the inflation rate. But I think too large of a raise on the front end is bad practice. It should be scaled across the whole force. Not dumped on the short timers, incetivising short time Enlistment, focused on the demographic that has the most legal and disciplinary issues and screwing the ones that have to deal with it... that's all I'm saying.
