Government Shutdown

[Denny]

Just another thought, If they don't have any money to pay us, does that mean we will be stuck in this hell hole until they get the funds to send us home? I'm due to roll out next week.

No, operating costs for the mission should continue (other than the service members' pay).

I'm glad I'm not one of those people waiting on a tax refund. LMFAO!!!

Early bird catches the worm. Had mine for about 6 weeks now.

Flying you home is not an essential duty. Sorry, continue to sweat your balls off.

Ha it's not hot yet, only touched 100 this last week or so,

Well thats another positive, unless they change their mids about that

I'm not ruling that out either, but so far, orders are to keep going.

Ha I have an automatic 6 month extension thanks to being in Iraq, bitches aren't getting "their" money, until I get ALL of mine.

So, lets continue the mission, but not pay the soldiers performing their duty. What fucking joke this government is.

Didn't Rome eventually have problems funding their army? Wasn't it near the end?

I think their end was eventually old age.

Denny, may be a little personal but as a contractor are you still getting paid? Since I assume you are operational costs.

Ya, I'm still getting paid in full. In fact, I have a scheduled raise (approved through our contract) on April 15th (about 4%). The money for my contract was set aside in full upon the awarding of the contract (through 21 November 2011), so it's like the DoD already spent that money. I do, however, have several evac plans.

We've got aspartaime, fluoride and chem trails. LMAO!

Just checked my LES. I am getting paid for my National Guard 2 day drill, but not for the 2 days attached to it I was on Active Duty for training.

People filing online will still get processed. Only people who file with paper will be delayed because the input people will be furlowed.

That sob bullshit story from Obama is a joke. If that guy TJ needed his money so bad, he should have filed early, filed online and received his refund. Online refunds are averaging 10 days vs the 5-6 weeks for paper refunds. And Obama called it a rebate. WTF. The guy cant speak without his teleprompter
