Let me add to the list. My husband is in the military. National Guard to be specific. His job requires him to be a service member and to wear a uniform everyday. We were furloughed last Tuesday. We were recalled this week. When my husband returned to work he was informed that he will not be paid for being there, and to top it off, there are no funds to work. They must report to work everyday and do nothing until the shutdown is over. All these DOD civilians and technicians that were recalled this week are NOT getting paid. It was a farce from our government to make it look like they were relieving our situation, when, in fact, it has been made worse. Any hope for temporary employment has been taken away from us.
