Military Pay Bill Advances Amid Debate Over Raises
The House Armed Services Committee approved a $1 billion military pay bill by a 33 to 1 margin led by Rep. Mendel Rivers. It would raise average pay by 10.7 percent effective soon, with provisions for a variable reenlistment bonus up to $8,000 and annual pay reviews. The bill emphasizes restructuring pay toward keeping experienced personnel, while challenging the administration plan for broader 4.8 percent yearly increases.
