Reservists getting raw deal.
Reservists called between October of two thousand one, and November two thousand three had extreme difficulty getting reimbursed. Despite being housed off of bases, many were denied per diem expenses and forced to hitchhike distances of several miles in order to eat on base. Those who submitted expenses often had to wait as much as a year to receive reimbursement. While efforts are underway to correct this, there are no provisions in the current plan for reimbursement of late fees. Our men and women deserve better.
