Government shutdown: What it means for you
The Military
Uniformed military personnel would continue to serve, but they would not get paid for their work until the government reopened. (Troops would get one week, not two weeks, pay in their next check, as the shutdown would go into effect in the middle of a pay cycle.) And a number of Pentagon civilians, State Department officials and USAID staff would likely be furloughed.
This is really terrible i have a brother in the AirForce and he isnt going to be getting paid to serve his country? This is by far one of the most irritating things on my mind right now
