Army Times article of 11 June <PayComprArmyTimes11Jun.htm> reports Pentagon plans on targeted military pay raises in January have run into a major obstacle - Rep. John Murtha, D-PA. Murtha is pressing for an across-the-board 7.3 percent raise and calls targeted increases unfair to too many troops. USAWOA has sent a letter to Congressman Murtha <PayCompr-Murtha.htm> explaining the Warrant Officer Pay Compression issue and requesting his support. We need the support of all warrant officers. We have prepared a sample letters to get your started so that you can send one to your Congressman in the House <PayCompr-House.htm> and one for your Senators <PayCompr-Senate.htm>.
