You might as well write to your Momma, because no one can ever pay them enough for the things that they do..............
You might ask some of the over paid athletes, actors or singers to chip in, but I am sure they won't.

Check the web site for United States Congress.
There you might see a listing of all the committees that serve different levels of our government. See which Congress representatives serve on the Military Appropriations Committee.
These are the folks who approve the budgets of all the military branches.

Get your congressmen to raise taxes, the governments only source of income, and you can pay them more. You have bad information. Maybe a recruit gets only $1000.00 a month but a typical E-5 makes $2100 in just basic pay. A pilot, major, makes over $7000.00 a month. This is not counting, housing allowance, subsistance allowance, clothing, hospital, special duty pay.

It's more than that so you are incorrect. You can complain all you want, but know that nobody held a gun to these peoples heads when they joined. It is an all volunteer force. Sadly we will never make our soldiers millionaires like we did to the victims families of 9/11.

Contact your rep in Congress and your Senators. If they agree, they can author a bill to increase the pay.

Well, you do have the pay scale wrong, but you are right they aren't paid enough.
The person to writ is your congressman. Congress controls the purse strings.

Whoever sets their salaries. I think it is the Pentagon. Probably get better results if you express your concerns with your local Congressman / woman. Or your local Senator. Good luck ! :)

Your information is not correct. However I would say you need to start with your congressmen and senators.
