Senate weighs raising military pay and allowances
Senate committee considers a flat one percent base pay increase for officers and a separate change to allowances for food and clothing. Current proposals would lift pay by about seven dollars monthly for general and admirals, with larger boosts for higher ranks. Postwar revisions already set varying allowances for dependents, and lawmakers argue that increasing these allowances better reflects living costs, with some suggesting hikes over ten percent.
