Cutting 90% of a service members pay causes a ripple effect not only in their homes but the surrounding economy. These service members homes are forced to have a ONE income home due to Spanish laws.

This needs to be revalued and should be reconsidered for an increase from where it was origanallly rather than a decrease.
