My full proposal cannot fit within the 800 characters allotted. I am sending my 19-page report to Congress and the POTUS.
Please see SOME of my many conclusions.
The United States Congress must change their position on accepting the 1.3% pay increase for all military personnel.
The United States Department of Defense Fiscal Year 2016 Budget Request clearly states that this pay increase is “less than the 2.3% under the formula in current law.”
During the two preceding years, the pay increase for military personnel was 1.0% each yr.
The People request a 3.5% pay raise, for the budget governing all military personnel, to first, meet the 2.3% minimum raise “in current law” and second, to compensate for the two consecutive years of 1.0% pay raises from FY2014-15 and the 1% 5-yr avg.
