National Guard Soldiers paid late due to expired continuing resolution

by thebesig••26

Many National Guard Soldiers across the country did not get their final pay for the year, which was scheduled before Christmas. The continuing resolution that temporarily funded the government expired before the checks could be issued, so pay was put on hold pending approval of the budget for the current fiscal year.

  1. “Update: Sources tell The Post Millennial that paychecks were processed at approximately 12 am on December 24.”

      1. When I read it this morning, it went from Congress approving the budget to the sentence about the Pentagon being reached for comment. The big issue is the fact that drill pay was stopped when the continuing resolution ended, without the protections that were in place in 2013. 

        We were protected from this during the government shutdown during Obama’s presidency and continued to receive drill pay. Congress anticipated this back then, they did not appear to have anticipated the delayed payment possibility this year. In their move to send foreign aid to other countries, and to push their initiatives, the troops got overlooked. 

  2. Does Guard not get paid on 1st and 15th like Active duty?

    Or are they tied to Fed civilians getting paid every 2 weeks? If the latter the issue probably effected more than the Guard.

    Also if the latter did it effect all Guard or just the ones in Technician status.

    2. Those on regular active duty do. Those who drill usually get paid once a month, at least this is how it worked with the Army Reserve.

  3. Whatcha wanna bet that Kongress Klowne Kritters paychecks were NOT affected by this?

    Maybe instead of a push to defund the po-lease we should push to defund Kongress?

    Worthless bastards.

    2. Drill pay was protected from something like this during Obama’s presidency, a similar provision was not in place this time around.

    4. The traitors running New York state just gave themselves a 23% Christmas raise,for helping to destroy our country. We need some lynching in Albany. Democrats have always shit on the military every chance they get.

  4. To give you an upside to all of this – late Christmas Eve shopping provides you with amazing clarity of decision-making. I know, I’ve been there.

  5. For some reason, I’m reminded of Patton having to remove WWI vets who were protesting in DC for unpaid benefits.

    In at least one correspondence, he claimed it was the saddest day of his career – or something to that effect; DC won, regardless.

      2. I was unaware of the Bonus Army until a few weeks ago when watching something on my Zenith. What a weird event.

  6. Members of the Military typically vote Conservative, thus the politicians regard them as second class citizens.

  9. My drill check from the Air National Guard dropped last week, in a timely manner, and the correct amount. I’m happy about this, but it is not an essential portion of my budget, more along the lines of my funny money.
