Is their a Food Stamp office in combat zones?
Pay them more maybe, you think?
$80 billion going to Ukraine being kept here for our soldiers would more than fix this.
Crying shame how we treat our service members.
Grosses me out. Why can’t they do it on base?
“OK. First Squad, you circle around the left. Don’t let that machine gun get you.
Second Squad, you go back to the Food Stamp office to take care of your family.”
You can make $22/hr at Burger Thing in Cali
Not the first time enlisted personnel have had to rely on food stamps to make ends meet. I’ve had to do it the first couple of years I was in the Navy.
I take it BAS is no longer enough?
Shameful.
“Pay them more maybe, you think?”
An E-3 with 2 years in gets $32k a year, a roof over his head and free medical.
If he is off base he gets another $20k tax free.
Not bad for an untrained grunt.
Why don’t you enlist?
And yet, the military is deeming it fit to suggest to them that they utilize SNAP.....
And your right, when I was in, we weren’t making that kind of money.
If they weren’t in a hurry to rename NINE MILITARY POSTS, they could use the money to help feed their own at the mess halls. I guess the new Army doesn’t care about families anymore. They are trying to satisfy the BLM hos.
Didn’t Congress give itself a raise not too long ago ?
My understanding has been that married enlisted personnel with children have always qualified for food stamps.
Idiocy!
“Not the first time enlisted personnel have had to rely on food stamps to make ends meet. I’ve had to do it the first couple of years I was in the Navy.”
I knew of this in the eighties. Reagan fixed it I think.
Anyway it was a disgusting shame then as it is now.
