Military Update
Bigger raise urged for middle, senior
enlisted grades
Military Update focuses on issues affecting
pay, benefits and lifestyle of active and
retired service people. Its author, Tom
Philpott, is a Virginia-based syndicated
columnist and freelance writer. He has
covered military issues for almost 25 years,
including six years as editor of Navy Times.
For 17 years he worked as a writer and
senior editor for Army Times Publishing Co.
Philpott, 49, enlisted in the U.S. Coast
Guard in 1973 and served as an information
officer from 1974-77.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld that a
proposed January 2002 military pay raise to
be unveiled next month should be "targeted"

senior-enlisted grades.
