2nd request, and I don't type just to see it. HOW DO THOSE NATIONAL GUARD PEOPLE GET FED. Are we paying for them to eat at Ruby Tuesday, or To get free (AT TAXPAYER EXPENSE) STARBUCKS COFFEE??!! iT'S MY right TO KNOW THESE KIND OF THINGS!!

Hey, no need to yell. National Guard on state duty get paid a set per diem to cover food and other necessities.

FWIW, it has been my experience, however, not to receive checks for this--which come separately from standard reserve pay until it is a day late and IMO several dollars too short to afford airport food.

And what do their families really have to live on while they're on duty? Are we taking care of them?
