While shouting that the minimum wage for illegal aliens working at McDonalds should be $15. an hour, President Obama used a loophole in the US Code deter a pay raise to the military. The lower pay increase translates to a Pay Grade E-4 (Corporal, Petty Officer 3d Class, Specialist 4, Senior Airman) with less than three years in service will earn less than $3.00 an hour. Under the 2016 pay scale, a Pay Grade E-1 undergoing recruit training will be paid roughly $2.15 an hour.

Now he isn’t worrying about his reelections, he figures his plans will be carried on by his ‘pet’.
It’s not so cut and dry (as with most things). Not actually a pay cut, but a smaller raise (plus some additional decreases in benefits, for sure). Not just the President, but also Congress. Also likely due to 10-year congressional spending caps set 5 years ago: http://www.militarytimes.com/story/military/benefits/2016/05/21/shrinking-military-paycheck-2017/84546824/
