According to Obama, Military personnel have been reclassified "non essential."

I agree.
Non-essential personnel do not work and will not get paid.

I (Marine) WILL be working, and WILL get backpay.

Historically anyway.

Historically anyway.

Very true. That's what I'm promised, at least.

I went through this same BS in the 90's in the Navy. Everyone gets their full pay but delayed for a few weeks...only the guys who blew through their paychecks every two weeks were the ones bitchin'.

[e30guy]

lol, there is already people bitchin in my shop about it.

I'm not getting paid and haven't got paid in a month told them I am not flying squat till I get paid.

Went thru this with Clinton and it was an ass pain. If your keeping my check then everyone deserves the interest that was made on it.

[Farbin Kaiber]
