NBC article on Coast Guard, big on spin, short on facts

If you read NBC's article on Coast Guard members affected by the government shutdown , it is very misleading and leaves out some  facts.

I spoke with a local U. S. Coast Guard member. "We fall under Department of Homeland security and not Department of Defense"

These days most people skim headlines and don't read the entire post so the information below, which is in the article furthers adds to the misinformation.

"The pay will be retroactive and yes it is a big deal but we will get back pay. Services won't be affected. Non essential services are shutdown."
