SFC Stephen Hester 120490 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It seems as if the service chiefs are trying to balance the budget on the backs of service members. Is this budgetary smoke and mirrors or is there a genuine strategic need to cut pay and benefit hikes? What programs would you like to see cut instead?<br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.armytimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20140506/NEWS05/305060065/DoD-makes-last-ditch-plea-compensation-cuts-2015">http://www.armytimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20140506/NEWS05/305060065/DoD-makes-last-ditch-plea-compensation-cuts-2015</a> 2014-05-06T19:52:19-04:00 SFC Stephen Hester 120490

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Dont Envy their Job. Who do you say "Sorry" to. Us that wear the Uniform or the Military Industrial Complex, The Contractors that make the weapons systems. Hell of a juggling bit. Personally I would tell KBR to go to hell and have the Seabees do all the Construction but that is just me.
