Let’s say you are a Private First Class in your early 20s, with multiple children, and have been in the military for just two years. The Basic Pay for a PFC with two years is only a mere $1,900 a month.

President Donald Trump could complicate President-elect Joe Biden s job by leaving thousands of political holdovers in office when Inauguration Day comes.
Outgoing presidents typically ask their appointees throughout the government to submit their letters of resignation, but Trump is still disputing the election results and thwarting transition norms.
Biden s team is worried Trump appointees will still be on the job when he arrives in the Oval Office and that the new president will be forced to kick them out of office while he also tries to project unity.
Although most agencies held steady or advanced their grades in the latest Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA) scorecard, a new telecommunications transition metric was giving some of them headaches.
On Dec. 22, the House Oversight Committee s Subcommittee on Government Operations released its 11th FITARA scorecard tallying how 24 large federal agencies have managed their IT over the last several months.
The latest scorecard shows 16 of the two dozen agencies responding held steady overall grades, with the majority in the B and C range. The General Services Administration and the U.S. Agency for International Development notably dropped from A-plus and A respectively to B-plus and B. At the bottom of the list with C-minus grades were the Departments of Justice and State, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
