I Served 25 Years in the Service - And this Asshole is Doing What?????

LOL the republicans seem to be working very hard on trying to get whites not to vote.

No doubt you'd be defending a white guy in a robe and a hood, holding a noose, hanging around outside of polling places...

I mean, otherwise you'd be a total ******* hypocrite....

be honest - most active duty troops (when not on deployment) keep banker's hours.

You're a ******* moron. I worked half-days in port, usually 0600-1800, and we were in three section duty most of the time.Most of the guys worked even longer hours - the engineers and weps guys for sure. When we weren't on deployment we were out to sea Monday, back home Friday, only to catch duty on a Sunday. During local ops we'd do fire drills, weps exercises, sit for endless hours at GQ, trained, trained, trained, had a little time to squeeze in our real job, only to hit the rack at 2300 and be woken up an hour later for an all-night GQ drill. Yeah- real bankers hours. Idiot.

try breathing into a paper bag
 
I disagree completely, when you look at the number of hours an enlisted man or woman actually works in comparison to their civilian counter parts, they are drastically underpaid.

really?

Depends on your job, if you work in Personnel, Finance etc sure, but if you work on the flight line, or an MP, or a fire figher, you can easily work a 12-14 hour day.

really? why would an mp need to work more than anyone else? shifts might odd, but that happens anywhere.

honestly though most of my knowledge comes from reserve components... so i could be wrong, but regular shifts seem to be the norm, not the exception.

Friend, you are citing a measly cost-of-living adjustment of 20-something dollars a month, not a President Obama military pay raise.

Can you find that for us?
 
Another low life move.

Is there no end to democrats protecting unions at the cost to everyone else?

Obama does this all the time. He is using the PBGC to pay for American Airline Union $10 Billion pension shortfall. Every AMR union employee gets paid way more than the average US worker. But don't worry, Obama will make sure those Union Voters Pensions get bailed out by the non-union tax payers who have no pensions & get paid way less.

Umm we are stuck with this due to corporate malfeasance.

The truth is with the manning so low right now and with so many people deployed, most everyone is working longer hours across the board, shit even the personnelists in the Air Force now are working from 0700 AM to 1800 PM because they are so under manned and short handed.

so while other government workers have had a pay freeze the military has been getting cost of living increases?

sounds like a raise to me.

In the Air Force Security Forces pull 12 hours shifts, and that doesn't even take into account guard mount and the changing of shift at the end, that easily turns into a 13-14 hour day, and like I said manning is so low right now most everyone in the service is having to pull longer hours, in the years before I got out I was literally working until 2100 at night and ******* falling to sleep in my uniform.

A $20/month COLA increase for a guy who's deployed/getting shot at is significant to you?

God, grow a ******* brain.

Nope. That's all I could discern from the charts. If he hasn't given them a pay raise on top of that.....well, that's what happens when the economy crashes and has to recover.

We haven't even gotten into the six weeks vacation a year the military gets and the nice four day weekends for many holidays.
