Proposed 2012 Pay Charts are out!
I totally missed them.

Plus, my H hits 10 years next month! Woo for $150/month extra (less wonderful and necessary nation running taxes of course).
I also read this about BAH http://www.navycs.com/blogs/2011/02/14/child-care-and-dod-education-increases-for-2012.
I don't feel like it's necessary for us (my family specifically, not the area in general), since we're pretty decently under with housing expenses, but I won't say no, lol. There are a couple places I'd really like to see get increases, one of my AF friends told me about http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/06/30/flood-turns-minots-housing-shortage-into-crisis/, so I'd like to see them get one for sure so that they're competitive with the oil workers.

MH needs to get promoted man. Because reading this makes me want to slap him for getting out. I always forget you guys aren't old like us.
No way, your housing is so nice!
:O
I'm majorly Team KC.
We could use a BAH increase so we won't have to move when our lease is up. That would be nice. Plus R hits the 10 year mark soon so that will help too. More money, more money, more money!
Biggie said it best; "Mo money, mo problems!"
I couldn't resist!!
Anywho, M hit 6 years this month which was a nice chunk to throw into savings, plus we moved from a pretty HCOL area to a LCOL area and are saving a ton on BAH. I can't imagine BAH being raised too much here since everything is pretty reasonable as it is.
This!
And thank you for posting this about the pay... Its exciting to see a little bit of a raise!
