gov shutdown

I still say not to worry about it quite yet. The shutdown in 95 lasted 6 days. Payday is not till the 15th. All this worry may be for nothing even if there is a shutdown. Prepare, don't panic, yet. A lot easier said than done.

Federal agencies and departments are finally issuing rules identifying critical employees who have to come to work (without pay) during the government shutdown.

I cannot believe that SSI benefits are immune to the shutdown. How can a bankrupt Government shut down almost everything and still keep SSI payments flowing?

Yeah, I got that warm fuzzy feeling today. Was told I am considered a critical employee so I have to come in to work next week, unpaid.

I always said I loved my job and would do it for free. now I get to prove it lol

Just got the call from my Guard unit. Weekend drill has been canceled.

I just got an email from my commander. We're on mobilization orders, and are therefor expected to drill this weekend regardless of wether we get paid or not

I'm currently deployed as well. I'm sitting on an aircraft carrier off the coast of Japan. Its not like I can just walk off this thing if I don't get paid! However, I'm not too worried. Just have to wait and see what happens.

I would just stay in my rack

I'm 45 days before I recommission active duty from reserves(med school scholarship) and have to PCS to CPEN. They were already telling us to plan on 1-2 months before pay normalizes. Now I can tack on another 1-2 months if this shutdown happens. I sure hope we've saved enough to float us. Could get interesting.

Waiting to here from the BC whether our drill is cancelled. Should know tomorrow.

Pssh, isn't that what most of us do on the MEU anyways?

Edit:
I'm currently on leave right now, but the last thing they said at my previous command was that everyone will show up to work regardless if they get paid or not.

Govt Shutdown

Already been given notice of possible furlough; but since I'm non-critical (Security & such), I need the time off. Maybe time to go out and do some target shooting with my new G19, and other weapons.

Got enough time in anyway, so retirement is sounding better.

[themailman]

F the government. To allow those of us who chose to serve the people to continue to WORK without pay is disgusting.

[Subotai]

I guess I might have to feed my neice's family. Wonder if they'll open up the chow halls.

Junior enlisted live paycheck to paycheck. If you know one with a family, buy them a small gift cert. to a local grocery store.
