Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss the article from Military.com, dated May 23, 2024. It reports a significant development regarding the pay raise for junior enlisted troops, as approved by a House panel. The headline boldly announces a 19.5% pay increase for these essential members of the armed forces, a move poised to impact the lives of many service personnel and their families.I dive into the specifics of this decision, highlighting that the House panel has greenlit the substantial pay raise, recognizing the invaluable contributions and sacrifices made by junior enlisted troops. This raise isn't merely a minor adjustment but rather a substantial increase that underscores the government's commitment to supporting those who serve on the front lines.I then outlines the implications of this decision, emphasizing how such a raise will positively affect the lives of our enlisted personnel. I point out how a boost in compensation addresses concerns about financial stability and helps alleviate some of the burdens faced by our junior soldiers and their families.Let's not overlook how the article may provide context about the broader discussions and debates surrounding military pay and benefits. Which can impact some factors influencing these decisions, like budgetary considerations, recruitment and retention efforts, and the overall welfare of the armed forces.Support the showThanks for listening, please download and leave a review.Remember, you don't have to embrace the suck, if you have the right tools in your ruck!

Send us a textOn 13 May 2024, military.com published an article about soldiers potentially getting a significant pay raise next year. This comes from a bill The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The NDAA is a crucial piece of legislation that determines the budget and policies for the U.S. Department of Defense. It covers a wide range of issues, including troop pay. If passed, all junior  soldiers (E1-E4) are slated to receive a potential 19.5% pay raise as part of the NDAA, it would represent a significant increase in compensation and likely be aimed at bolstering recruitment and retention efforts within the military. This would be a notable development and could have various implications for servicemembers and their families.Support the showThanks for listening, please download and leave a review.Remember, you don't have to embrace the suck, if you have the right tools in your ruck!
