Enlisted airmen who work in some of the Air Force‘s most difficult jobs will receive from $900 to $5,400 less annually beginning next month as the service faces financial challenges that affect the ranks.
Hundreds of service members will see cuts to their Special Duty Assignment Pay, known as SDAP, in fiscal 2023 — which starts Oct. 1. Those monthly payments, ranging from $75 to $450, were an extra incentive “to compensate enlisted service members who serve in duties which are extremely difficult,” according to budget documents.
“The Air Force saw an overall reduction of over $3 million to the FY23 SDAP budget based on fiscal constraints,” service spokeswoman Laurel Falls told Military.com. “Due to the reduced funding levels, SDAP rates for 44 functional communities saw reductions.”
In the fiscal 2023 budget, the Air Force is asking the federal government for 30,845 airmen to receive the more than $90.2 million worth of Special Duty Assignment Pay.
It’s a lower figure than the last two years, being cut by $1.5 million and around 500 airmen, according to budget documents. more
They can still get free sex change surgeries as a benefit!
Wheeeeeee!
First, they made them burn their own shit.
Now they make them eat it.
While they party, reward lawbreakers generously, and give billions to literal dictators so they can do Vogue photo shoots.
Keep pushing assholes.
See what happens when you don’t pay the military.
More of Jackass Joe’s program of gutting the Military!
Yeah, because cutting people’s pay always works out so well.
What people produce before and after the cut will be obvious.
It’s called I Don’t care because you don’t care. Human nature.
Part of the plan I would assume.
Obama’s dream coming true. A weak and clownish military.
I’m willing to bet none of the generals will take a pay cut. Or anyone in the Pentagon.
Borrow money from Ukraine, I hear they are pretty flush.
Do the servicemen get to shorten the time of their service too?
It’s hard to feel bad for the people getting this paycut, when only yesterday, Biden, the guy giving them the pay cut, was using them as a threat to MAGA people, he can bomb them with F-15’s
Yet, we can abandon $85 billion in equipment left to the enemy!
They need the money to fund the Office of Migrant Services. Eat shit, airmen, the migrants come first.
Americans always first, illegal immigrants dead last and shipped back to their shithole countries of origin never to return to the US ever again under any circumstances.

…I get your point, but I doubt the E-1s have a lot of input about what stupid thing Pedo Hitler is given to say, and it remains to be seen if they would act on such an illegal order if it WERE actually given, so I don’t hate them for being abused by the same cabal abusing the rest of us yet…
My first active duty assignment was at Brooks AFB, home of the Aerospace Medical Division.
Enlisted technicians worked in the chambers received $55 a month hazardous duty pay and officers could volunteer to get $110 a month for a chamber exposure. It was an opportunity to get something Similar to pilots flight pay.
Of course, there was one explosion close to he time of the Apollo One explosion under similar circumstances (100% oxygen atmosphere and a spark).
I never volunteered.
Meanwhile, the armed forces struggle to understand why they keep missing their recruiting and retention goals.
The Air Force always had deep pockets and lived in the lap of Luxury.
Airforce is to receive 200 F-15EX’s.
Boeing quotes a flyaway cost for the F-15EX of $80 million a copy—about the same as the F-35A. But operating costs are a differentiator.
Recently retired Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein said USAF has been leery of the F-35’s cost per flight hour, still about $35,000, which is well above the F-15’s $27,000 per hour.
Airforce, when the money gets tight, screw the enlisted ranks.
Postpone “1” F-15ex, there I fixed your financial shortfall.
cato, you are not wrong.
Mr. Beachmom has done a lot of work for the military.
He says the AF has the best of everything, then the Navy, then the Army and the Marines have the bare minimum.
Yet welfare recipients received a raise on their foodstamps.
But they deserve it because of the hardships of doing nothing.
Cut pay…Oh THAT’S a GREAT inducement to enlist/reenlist! (/s)
GO ahead. Threaten me again with that F15……that’s stuck on the ground. The pilot is waiting and ready…But no repairs. No maintenance. No fuel. No fly.
Sounds like a typical US corporation. When things get tough the competent, the loyal, and the senior must be punished or removed to make things right and shield the guilty.
I’m worrying less and less about the military following the “leaders” orders to fire on us. There will always be some that would do it willingly but they won’t last too long…
By all means, Biteme, muster out our best & brightest as China continues sabre-rattling – smoooth move, shithead!
I’m curious, did the Ukrainian Air Force airmen also suffer a pay cut?
