When I was a business traveler I turned in my expense account weekly,, no problem, it was the costs of doing business.. I had a job that payed well and dropping a C-note here & there was not a problem. The process worked and I was reimbursed..

That's not the case here, A c-note is a big deal to most of these kids under E6,, probably under E7..

OK I know they're not kids,, but I'm an FOG,, and they're under 30'ty,, & look like kids...

They and all our serving forces need to get some perks, Can't make them millionaires,, but I can and will pick fights that stand a chance of winning...

JJ BPK is right! Our serving forces deserve some perks.....
