Army suspends tuition assistance program for troops - News - Stripes


" The Army announced Friday it is suspending its tuition assistance program for soldiers newly enrolling in classes due to sequestration and other budgetary pressures.“This suspension is necessary given the significant budget execution challenges caused by the combined effects of a possible year-long continuing resolution and sequestration,” Paul Prince, an army personnel spokesman at the Pentagon, wrote in an email to Stars and Stripes."

Sequestration strikes again

 

[TNHarley]

Maybe Egypt will give us all that money back
Besides, it was his plan to dumb down the military

 

[whitehall]

Part of the vindictive administration's effort to punish Americans. Meanwhile we spend millions to teach Turkish people how to design clay pots.

These soliders depend on this assistance. To suspend it without warning throws their lives into total chaos. It's disgusting that this is the pettiness we get from our elected officials.

 

[g5000]

Yeah, somone else on here in the Air Force said yesterday their TA was being suspended.

That's sheer political bullshit. Just have the generals cut back on a few parties, mow their own lawns, and give up some of their staff. Don't take it out on the troops.

I agree!
I think it is ALL for political points

obama said that he goal was to cause the maximum pain on the people, then blame republicans for it.

Cuts have to be made...Just make sure the top 1% gets more tax cuts. Thats the most important thing right now

The top one percent got their taxes hiked, asshole. Don't be trying that bullshit.

Or buy a few less $600 hammers and $5000 toilet seats.

MIL-SPEC testing is very costly.

Or stop giving tuition and services to illegal aliens.. stop giving out cellphones... stop handing out entitlements to those who are capable but won't work something they feel is beneath them.. as well as auditing the military spending and finding the fraud and where cuts can indeed be made

NO! That would be bad for the military-industrial complex. IMPOSSIBLE!

Agreed.

That would be the Carter era, asswipe.

 

[Warrior102]

Cutting education benefits now. Another idiotic move by this Admin.
Education is one of the many reasons young men and women join the Armed Forces. Pretty soon we'll have a shortage of young people wanting to serve.

Anyone feel a draft?

God, I hope so. Finally, these polesmoking welfare-case Libberhoids will get a taste of action in Afghanistan.

Illegal aliens won't feel that pain. They still get tuition assistance while they wait for their amnesty and more government programs.

I served during the Ford / Carter / Reagan era. Does that mean that hammers are now $2000 and toilet seats $15000 due to inflation?
