WASHINGTON D.C. (trfnews.i234.me) – Today, U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) revealed the rollout of Assignment Incentive Pay for eligible Airmen and Guardians stationed in bone-chilling cold weather locations. Spearheaded by Cramer’s authorization committee, the initiative aims to ease the financial burden faced by military personnel serving in frigid conditions, where temperatures plummet to -20 degrees Fahrenheit or below.
Senator Cramer, a prominent member of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), lauded the Air Force’s decision, emphasizing the significance of compensating servicemembers in places like Minot, Grand Forks, and Cavalier for the additional expenses incurred during harsh winters. Cramer remarked, “This announcement today from the Air Force really follows through on our intent to make sure our Airmen and Guardians are properly compensated for the significant added winter expenses.”
The Assignment Incentive Pay, authorized under the Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act, will provide financial support to servicemembers stationed at designated cold-weather bases. This compensation aims to offset the costs of essential cold weather gear, including all-season and snow tires, engine block heaters, and emergency winter car kits.
Expected to commence on July 1, 2024, the implementation of this pay scheme comes after concerted efforts by Senator Cramer and his colleagues, including Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Dan Sullivan (R-AK), and John Hoeven (R-ND), who advocated for the enactment of cold weather pay to enhance the well-being of military personnel and their families across the nation’s chilly regions.
Even more proof the chair force are the biggest p*****s out there 😢😢😢
