| Navy sailors forced to take out loans after being shorted on pay |
| 2021-11-21 |
| [FOX] Some U.S. Navy sailors have been forced to take out loans over months-long delays in pay to some service members who earned increases in their housing allowances this year due to recent marriages or moving somewhere with a higher cost of living. "This is happening a little bit of everywhere," Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society Vice President Gillian Gonzalez said in an interview with Military.com. "It doesn't seem to hit one geographic area more than another." Gonzalez recounted that her group has seen an uptick in loan applications from sailors who are struggling to keep up with living expenses but did not have an exact figure on the increase. |

| #6 The U.S Civil War of 2021 was started by the Democrats - so far it has been largely civil - their policies have been and are designed to "incite civil unrest" and possibly open violence against lawfully elect members of government and the public; their response would be to institute "Martial Law", thus END the Republic of the United States of America forever. Given the Democrat Party is estimated to be ~30%~ Socialist Marxist Communists, you see the dilemma. |

| #3 Before I got married in 1966, I was GROSSING $98.40 a month as an E-2. After I got married, with BAS and Quarters, I grossed $185 a month. When I retired in 1991, I was drawing about $3800/month as an E-7. Most of the time my pay arrived in my bank as the right amount at the right time. Always kept a couple of thousand in the bank for when it didn't. |

| #1 In 1970 a slick sleeve privates made $91. per month (lived on post, ate at mess hall - no BAS-BAQ payment). A private today makes about $1800. per month in base pay alone. Granted, that was a long time ago, but some perspective is required. Every DoD Finance Office I had contact with literally bent over backwards to make sure Pay shortages were investigated and recovered by the Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine. Pay-Day loans are legendary. |
