They tend not to make the same mistakes with officers and senior enlisted.

And they typically don't have to wait six months to collect BAH for some reason

Lol, I wish this were true. It would make your fairy tale reality, and also mean

Take it up with wingnut for implying junior enlisted are whiny for expecting pay

Lol. When did I say that? Your persecution complex is showing.

Junior Deputy

You repeated it about four times. Persecution complex means soft.
