More On Military Pay

Marine officials are reminding squad leaders that there are big bucks for those willing to re-enlist.

Most military members will see a bump in their Jan. 15 paychecks.

Air mobility and spec ops pilots will see a big increase if they choose to take advantage of this year's bonus program.

Some Coast Guard families began receiving back pay Monday, and all could be made whole by Wednesday.

More than 11,000 have signed on to a White House petition proposing a more radical move to get Coasties their paychecks.

Some Coast Guard activities have been halted or curtailed as the U.S. enters its fifth week of a government shutdown.

"Alexander Hamilton would be proud."

"Active-duty Coast Guard servicemen and women remain on the job even as they and their families go without compensation."

"Continue standing the watch -- I am proud of your unwavering devotion to duty."

Vice Commandant Vice Adm. Charles Ray said the service can't meet its payroll because of the shutdown.
