Rampant Stupidity

What is it about "It's a matter of public record" requires third-party endorsement? Seriously. If my salary is set by Congress, approved by the President, and freely available for perusal to anyone who asks, why do I need to have my CO sign off on it? It's not like I can't provide them proof that I'm a Marine, or of the pay grade that I say I am. Why does a military pay chart need a signature?

I'm in an alternate dimension, I swear.

On a Lighter Note

Cheap Christmas Gift ideas for yours truly, as I haven't been able to get to the comic shop lately:

Batman: The Arrow, The Ring, and The Bat
Green Arrow #32
Batman #620
Batman #621
Green Arrow #33
Batman #622
GI Joe #23
GI Joe #24
GI Joe: Frontline #16
GI Joe: Frontline #17
GI Joe: Frontline #18

Hopefully the wifey will be able to keep up with the issues I miss while I'm gone.
