Sorry, I was speaking of a service member in the military about over 13 years ago, I should have specified not in 2012. I do not know what an E 3 is but do know that at that time the person paid for the dress blues.

Yes, it is sad that there are families earing less than that all over our country. Challenge for anyone to live on.
