Some more gouge on the Imminent Danger Pay i...Bob,<br /><br />Some more gouge on the Imminent Danger Pay issue: Despite what has been reported, I recieved the same email message from MyPay and nothing has changed except the way IDP is awarded. Previously, anyone who was in an IDP zone for a single day got the entire month's allotment of IDP. The new law will change the award to $7.50 for each day that an individual is in an IDP zone, as designated by the SecDef. Those who are actually shot at or who experience a mine/IED detonation will recieve the full month's award of $225 as Hostile Fire Pay.<br /><br />The Marine who voiced his frustration apparently didn't understand what he was reading, because he got it completely wrong and stirred up a lot of malcontent in the process. Regardless of the administration's other policies and decisions, this one is simply a non-issue.<br /><br />Semper Fidelis,<br />Jake<br />Capt, USMCJacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16397160663092112079noreply@blogger.com
