Conservatives are rallying behind a plan that calls for a pair of staggered, short-term stopgap funding measures to put pressure on the Senate to pass its own spending bills.
Yes, and at times like these some military leaders tend to tell troops to “be financially ready” to go unpaid, and “there is no excuse for not paying your bills on time”.
Late and missed payments are sometimes reported to members’ leadership by the debtors, especially landlords. Normally this isn’t such a bad thing, since service members are expected to be on top of their debts at all times–but being punished for this when going unpaid is completely cruel.
When I was in we got lined up for muster before elections days and our leadership would talk about how “this never happens with a Republican pres and voting is important”.
Completely ignorant that the reason is Dems won’t hold our military hostage for funding cuts to social programs.
The reason it almost never happens with a Republican pres, is republicans are the ones that make it happen.
And yeah, the main reason people lose security clearances (military and fed civilians) is financial issues like debts.
Fist fighting was still an acceptable way to solve personal disputes, and higher ups intentionally ignored stuff like the occasional black eye. It’s like the last bastion of “old navy”
The culture wasn’t a good thing, people got away with a lot of shit because no matter what happened, the ship has to keep moving.

Wow, in my experience they usually try to be more subtle than that.
If they actually said that it’s a violation of the Hatch act.
I was in an engine room in the Navy…
