[quote=Anonymous]A 5% pay hike was approved for civilian agencies (but not funded by Congress) - only for many of them to then also get budget cuts handed to them by Congress. That was a double whammy and has been devastating in a lot of corners of federal government. DoD has a lot of waste and ostensibly a lot more room to absorb a pay hike but 19% is a lot to hit all at once and will cause similar damage to military budgets. They should evaluate it on a needs basis, as I don't think soldiers living in base housing and enjoying subsidized PX and other benefits are as much in need of it as soldiers who do not. Also, they would be better off spreading it out over a couple of years than all at once.[/quote]
