And yet feel "good" cause your getting your NMB approved "pay raise".
- So I'm a 19 year LTC in the AF and have done my dues (most of them sh**ty and earned my respect. Few years to retirement or promotion. OPTEMPO bad but budget GREAT! ... biggest EVER! Sorry Colonel ... we are going to have to reduce your pay to a senior Capt or junior Major ... but hey ... you still got your Rank!!
Not-to-Worry, all us Generals are still are getting all of our bonuses and beyond "god" recognition pay for holding down the forts.
- A yes vote ... low tier, low pay and LOW RESPECT for at least eight more years!
WE CAN DO BETTER!
Since you are bringing up the military, how exactly does this compare to going from colonel pay to captain or major? You’d be going from 185 to 237. That’s a pay raise. You understand that right? Who gives a $hit what year they call it? You are acting like you are taking a pay cut. If anything, it’d be the exact opposite. Sorry colonel, we are going to have to demote you to junior major, but we’ll pay you as a Lt. Gen. Can’t even believe that’s where somewhere decides to vote yes or no.
