Still embarrassing

With the inflation rate going higher than my bar tab, the Sergeant Major of the Army has told soldiers to apply for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Assistance Plan (SNAP) or food stamps.

This has been going on forever! Our GI’s have always been on food stamps. The Department of Defense has made it where a marred GI can get money for housing and food and move off base or in my case get off the boat! I have seen too many sailors get involved for the wrong reasons. Military life is not meant for a family life.

But; the issue is not only for new privates. I worked with an E-6 with over 10 years that was eligible for WIC! The militar has been underpaid forever. Yes, GI’s get base pay, housing (based on rank or marital status), cheap medical care, uniform allowances, cheaper gas, and other benefits. But; the GI works 40 hours per week, watches, deployments, duty days, drills, and so on. Trust me, the DoD needs to pay these boys more!

Our military ranks are being depleted. A woke military looking for white supremacists, paying nothing, and having to answer to Joe Biden as the Commander in Chief! Sign me up!
