Do we really need to post this special entitlement on move.mil?

elliottdotw commented 6 years ago

This is a question that has come from a least a couple of service members. However, the suggested rewrites are opinions on wording, not facts. This should stay as is.

Jillesmith and Elliottdotgov If you are leaving this entitlement in ...it needs to be fixed to what the FACT is, it is not an opinion that it's the eligible vs remote... there is a difference in the military of such... also, there is a difference "per a tour year" and "per each tour year" of assignment so they is in the paragraph rewrite also ...why can't the requested changes be made without arguing about them
