The White House opposing this way overdue pay raise shows how tone-deaf Washington has become with the issues impacting servicemembers and their families. I understand it’s hard to find funding with all that is going on, but having lived on that kind of a budget while I was in service, I know how important those raises are for quality of life. This raise would bring the minimum salary for Junior Enlisted Service Members from $26k to $30k. https://lnkd.in/eR5piT9Y I wanted to let you know that you read that correctly. Workers in that same stage of life who are not facing the challenges of military service are seeing hourly wages at $20. That pencils out to be $41,600 for far less skilled roles. Would you volunteer your life and health for $30k? Patriotism only gets us so far, and it’s hard to focus on your job when making that kind of money in our economy. PS There is plenty of overtime in the military, and it’s unpaid, unlike their civilian peers. It’s important to note that the services are all struggling with recruiting, and this type of grandstanding sends a clear message of support for military members. Waiting for the results of the quadrennial pay review is a stall tactic. It does nothing to help junior enlisted dealing with the financial issues of inflation and constant PCS moves that greatly impact spouse employment. #dobetter #military

#ForceDesignFriday How many Marines are in an infantry squad? A topic of debate for decades. For Force Design 2030, the infantry squad went from 13 to 15. https://lnkd.in/enPhYzex But it wasn't always that way. As the USMC reduced infantry squads from 13 to 11 in the mid-1980s while increasing firepower 25%, the service returned to 13 members under General Kelley, as indicated in the November 1985 issues of "Marines" (Vol. XIV, No.11). If one reads carefully, the service divested of future capabilities to invest in current capabilities, specifically personnel structure, understanding the future capabilities wouldn't be available to the Marine Corps for a few years. History doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes... What will Force Design 2050 look like? #Marines #USMC #ForceDesign #military #Defense #strategy #people #infantry #squad
