Not sure who to thank for this, normally its a Republican Congress that gives our active duty folks the best pay raises.

MSgt Dale Johnson COLAs (cost of living adjustments) began under Nixon in 1972. The 'pay raise' is nothing but a COLA due to Bidenflation.

One of the reasons for the reduced COLA is they do not include fuel and food in the calculations.

As we all know this is not material in daily living [Snarky] Lt Col Charlie Brown

Lt Col Charlie Brown Good news for our people in uniform but still not keeping up with inflation. I guess something is better than nothing.

Thank you my friend and sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown for posting.
My military retiree pay raise is 8.7% for 2023.
"Military retirees and disabled veterans will see their monthly checks increase by 8.7% for 2023, thanks to an annual adjustment to the federal Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) due to inflation."
