Anyone know the National Guard Members' pay rate for driving a school bus? 2021-10-01T16:58:56-04:00 TSgt Private RallyPoint Member 7305200 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>With multiple states activating troops to drive buses is it state pay or federal pay?

Sounds like a good stop-gap, I wonder if they have thought about getting Retirees to do that same. With troops in uniform driving the busses, it could be a great Recruiting tool. To expose the kids to the Military doing something to serve the community.

Of course there was no BAH either, and eventually people were put up in local hotels, that created its own issues resulting in hotel changes a couple times. Funny enough it wasn&#39;t the joes causing the problems by and large. It was Civilian staff causing problems or not holding to the agreement for the contract, but I digress from the BAS.<br /><br />As you can imagine this pissed commanders and SNCO&#39;s off because now Soldiers were basically encouraged to eat fast food or go through the grocery store every single day and only buy a little of what they needed. On top of that the limited fridge space in the hotels also encouraged fast food, combined with the fact that they didn&#39;t want you traveling to locations with high concentrations of people such as stores. Eventually SAD ended and it was T32 though and all that nonsense went away.<br /><br />Could be different depending on the State though for these bus driver orders.
