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.

and he wants a raise what kind of$#%&!@*hole is he ?
I don’t believe that military pay increases are as necessary considering the member AND FAMILY benefits including housing, utilities, meals, tax free groceries, retail, gas, and alcoholic vegetables; full family medical, dental, and vision with no deductible; VA GI Bill, paid OJT training and certification, tricare, auto discounts, and mortgages; USAA insurance, banking, investing, and auto discounts; free MAC travel anywhere and global travel base guesthouses, discounted gas coupons, meals, and deep hotel and restaurant coupons; and retirement with most of their pay, full medical/dental/vision, and base shopping for life.
but the head$#%&!@*wants a raise for when he retires I say screw him
