TreeStandBowHunter Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 A few of you in here were saying how Bush was planning on cutting the combat pay to save money and so called "screwing the troops". Well, this is the real scoop published in the recent Military Pay and Benefits message. Combat Pays What : The current rates of imminent-danger pay and family seperation pay, originally designed to be temporary wartime rates, now become permanently fixed into law. This prevents danger pay, also known as hostile-fire pay, from dropping from the current $225 rate back to $150 a month and prevents family seperation allowance, now $250 a month, from reverting to $100. Who :About 180,000 people draw both of the special pays When : Effective immediately So there you have it. As the crappy rappers and hoodlums say...Nuff(usually pronounced enough) said homeslice and stop aking (usually pronounced acting) like you a Kerry Fan.

TreeStandBowHunter Posted October 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Re: To fix the myth on Bush reducing combat pay!!! It was once said in here. Or should I say, questions were asked about it. I am just clarifying it so the question don't arise again. ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Re: To fix the myth on Bush reducing combat pay!!! Think I heard on the news or maybe a Bush basher on here saying that combat pay was cut. Never believed it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugshooter Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Re: To fix the myth on Bush reducing combat pay!!! I had posed a question about if Bush had reduced it or was planning to. I wasn't sure so I asked TSBH about it since he has been in the situations where those types of pay are warranted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I was thinking of you the whole time I was writiing that don't you Slugo No seriously, this is your answer that I promised that I would get for you! I didn't know either what was going to happen. Rumors fly around just as fast in the military as they do in the civilian world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
