Not sure how other branches work it, but in the Army, once a unit has received it's deployment orders (not guard/reserve mobilization orders, but the actual DEPORD), another pot of money opens up for them, and they can purchase whatever the CDR, 1SG, and NCOs can justify on paper. Once the S-4 and XO approve, they can order it on the gov. Visa card. The unit's annual budget is not affected. If a command team is smart, they projected the deployment and waited to purchase other operational and training related items, so that they can use the regular unit funds to purchase morale/welfare type items like a 52 inch plasma HDTV for the day room/lounge. Now THAT is a big SHHHHHHHHH
You guys deserve a 1500" plasma HDTV as far as i'm concerned. Again, thx for going over there and risking your life on a daily basis for us my brother. <salute>
