“It’s outrageous that it was removed” from the annual VA budget bill, Rep. Earl Blumenauer and Sen. Jeff Merkley, said in a joint statement Friday. “To add insult to injury, the legislation was released in the middle of the night, not even giving members of the House an opportunity to review the language before voting on it.”
Congress understands the desperate need to increase aviation readiness levels and they are targeting acquisition reform as a key function to help in the effort.

An estimated 307,000 vets died waiting for care. Specifically, the IG found roughly 800,000 records of vets pending in the agency’s system for managing health care enrollment. Of those, more than 307,000 belonged to veterans who had died months or years prior, based on a comparison with Social Security records.
Senate lawmakers want to radically overhaul how military housing stipends are awarded and end the practice of troops pocketing extra cash from the payouts.

Thornberry’s litany of grumbles includes the Marine Corps’ inability to meet training requirements, less than one-third of Army units […]
The military draft may be headed for the scrap heap. The House Armed Services Committee will include instructions to examine the Selective Service program’s viability and possible “alternatives” as part of its review of the annual defense authorization bill next week, staffers confirmed on Friday. The move comes following months of hand-wringing over whether women will […]
House lawmakers are promising a legislative fix in coming days to prevent military widows from losing thousands of dollars in federal assistance checks next year. Rep. Joe Heck, R-Nev., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee’s personnel panel, said he anticipates next week’s final draft of the annual defense authorization bill will include an extension […]
It seems that a civilian employee with the National Guard did not complete the required DoD and DA employee training to use a government computer or network.
