I highly doubt that schools will close or they will send troops home as it is not cost effective and the money for these classes has already been spent at the beginning of the fiscal year (Oct 2017). I think Fox news needs to do more research. The military doesn't screech to a halt over a short term issue. Hell even when we had any funds for ammo or transportation we still went to the field in trucks or jumped out of cattle cars and went bang bang and threw pine cone grenades at each other.Response by 1SG Dennis Hicks made Jan 20 at 2018 5:28 PM2018-01-20T17:28:46-05:002018-01-20T17:28:46-05:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member3277369<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>One of the NCOs in my command is supposed to fly out today for ALC starting next week. Looks like that's not happening. If STEP wasn't bad enough, if this keeps up, it'll push his first look for E7 another full year. (Points in his MOS are 14).<br /><br />V/R<br />SSG MulletResponse by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 20 at 2018 6:16 PM2018-01-20T18:16:40-05:002018-01-20T18:16:40-05:00CW3 Kevin Storm3277646<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have never heard of something this drastic.
