Teammates - yesterday, the Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman, myself, and fellow service senior enlisted advisors met with SECDEF Austin to move out on actions to enhance quality of life of our service members & their families.
Here’s a few of the ways the SECDEF is getting after taking care of you…and this is just the first round:
▪️Institute automatic increases in BAH for AD service members in 28 Military Housing Areas (MHAs) - Oct 2022
▪ Fully fund commissaries to cut prices at the register, with goal of achieving at least a 25% savings on grocery bills
▪ Pay eligible Service members Basic Needs Allowance (BNA) - Jan 2023
▪ Increase Dislocation Allowance (DLA) for E-1 to E-6 - Oct 2022
Again, there’s more work to do…we are listening and taking action.
