Hurricane Research Flights Grounded?

I do have a suggestion IF the gov't don't send in the money. We could always donate money to the NHC. Think about it. there is approximatly 300 million people in U.S , if everyone donated at least $1 there's $300 million right there for NHC. Of course not 300 million people aret reading this, or even aware that NHC does not have the funding. But I'm sure if everyone donated we can probaly get up in several million.

Even if the NHC does get the funding from gov't we can still donate for future use.

HRD NEEDS THE MONEY, NOT NHC. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME AGENCY

We already donate money to the Government-it's called Income Taxes. The problem is not with funding it's with priorities.

That's something I have most definitly have to agree with that they need to get their priorities straight. Lets just say a few people in the gov't are doing something very wrong. It's a long story but to make it short my borher is in Iraq, he was given a paper to go to Iraq, and we (my family and the recruitors) are just realizing that paper was a fraud and that it came from the few people in the gov't. My brother was not the only who was fraud. Some men from military are still trying to get hold of my brother and told them a hundred time he is not home he is in Iraq and there records state he's at home.

Don't get me started on jacked up orders.... I've only been in for 4 years and I've had my fair share order problems.

Because of the MILITARY status, the Hurricane Hunters do NOT get paid overtime... we have long missions 12+ hours and only get paid for 8 hours.... that's fun.... during season...we do this every day or every other day!
