I’ve been a fed for 8 years now, and every time inflation rises, it feels like my paycheck shrinks. Meanwhile, the military gets adjustments that actually make sense. Are we not important too? It’s just really frustrating. I know the military deserves raises, but so do we. Why is it so hard for Congress to see that?

Unlike GS, military can’t jump jobs to bump their pay scale, they deploy overseas, they often have little control over their lives or professional paths, and they have an up or out culture that can spit you out with little recourse. Those are some downsides that the military makes up for with some higher inflation adjusted pay raises.
