military pay

This blog is about the increase in military pay of 13%. Ms. Cindy Williams, a senior research fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was assistant director for national security in the Congressional Budget Office from 1994 to 1997. She states that every member of the Unites States military is getting a 4.8 percent increase in pay, the biggest inflation boost the military has seen in 18 years.

My father was in the Navy for my whole life. He retired in September of 2003. So, this is stating that in almost my whole lifetime, this is the biggest pay raise the military has seen since I was born. That's an amazing fact.
