I apologize for OT and tech-stupid [ tech challenged] so no links. Through my news cleanings I learned 4 hours ago that the Congress allowed a stipend pay to our soldiers they conscripted through Stop-Loss, $500 bucks a month extra for extra duty, conscripted duty.
The deadline for signing up is Dec.18th. More Uncle F–king paperwork. The military is requiring the soldiers to fill out their own paperwork. Again.
Can we rise up and help in 10 days. ?. yeah,i know…..
I’m on it tomorrow shaking the phones and I’ve got vet friends who will help fill out forms. But, fuck, it’s so late. We need a Congressperson. How does a citizen get an extension on a horrific policy? In a working week?
