Okay then, you maintain the security systems and safety of of some of our nation’s unique weapons. I think that is pretty noble. Failure in that job is unthinkable. Somebody has to work for the beast because the beast has a lot of responsibilities for your life and well being
.
No federal raises - federal pay freeze since 2011 and 4% pay cut this year absorbed in past 2 months. You are misinformed

Military retirement pay went up about 2 percent but honestly never noticed. MEDICARE went up $800, Tricare charging fee for free medical care for life (thanks John McCain for leading that charge), family monthly prescriptions up over $1000, dental up $600 a year, and federal state property and local taxes went up thousands, too.

So can’t share any raises with you

everyone is doing without and planning on less but I don’t envy you or blame you for causing it unless you failed to vote against zerO

You take your food over to a military base and donate it to a young family whose spouse is deployed, OK. Or to a local food bank. That was a low mean remark. Maybe you can redeem yourself.

On second thought, nah..

No matter how justified you think your anger is you are misinformed envious small and spiteful to the wrong people.

I think we both have our positions hardened, so out here

But the areas where you are concerned about are not affected by the shut down.

Active duty military pay is not being affected. Period.

The fact that your retirement pay has gone up at all—and you bitch about how much indicates that you have no idea how the world off the government teat works. My retirement pay is MY responsibility. Your retirement pay is MY responsibility. Get it?

So, take you sob story back to someone who will buy it. I am not.
