Also, I've got a bit of an announcement today that might be of interest to this community. For the first time in 25 years here at the Secretary of Defense, through the Secretary of the army, We are increasing jump pay. Not only are we increasing jump pay, but for the first time, jump masters who have never been compensated additionally for that additional duty are going to receive an additional $150 a month in incentive pay. So here's to our jump, our paratroopers, our jump masters who do the difficult things in difficult places that most Americans can never imagine. (09:52–10:24)

CLAIM

Asserts that jump pay is being increased, and jump masters will receive an additional $150 a month.
