Out of the Army, getting screwed

[OrionStang]

Hey guys, I got a little dilemma. As of Monday I will out of the Army. They still owe me pay for the first half of Feb which should be paid on the 15th, but I just found out that my last pay won't come for about an extra month. I don't know why they do this, but it's how our gov't supports the military. I have bills to pay like everybody else. I'm not asking for handouts, never have, but if you can help out by checking out what i've got in the For Sale section, I would appreciate it. Make me some offers.

Lets help this man out. Hes got a damn nice amp for sale for a damn nice price. Cant let the goverment fuck over a fellow smd'er like this and put him behind on bills. We all got to stick together in this hobby so no one takes it away from us.

Thank you for your service. I know how the military operates when you decide to get out! When I got out they held my tax refunds for 3yrs. Saying that they over paid me, I asked for a pay audit and found out they old me instead, positive got turned into a negative over night! To turn it back took 4yrs.

Not trying to be political but make the armed forces a union and u won't get screwed and I hate unions by the way. But are soldiers. Deserve more than what they receive. And ill check out what u have for sale

Yea, it sucks the way they do the last check, where it can take up to 45days. They do this just incase you owe them money for anything. Do let it get you down. You will get 8 0 percent of the final amount they owe you within 10days after your PCS date. Then the other 20% can take up til the full time limit. I dunno if this helps any.

10 days I can wait. But I was told the ENTIRE payment will be held for a month, so I hope you're right.

May I ask what your planning on doing now that you're out of the service? I also want to thank you fo all you have done :-D

Back to school since there are no jobs in California. I've put in what feels like 100 applications and resume submissions with no hits.

I just called back to Germany and was told what corona_jeff stated. 8 0 percent ten days late and the rest 45 days later.

So that's good, right!?

Woohoo!

Yeah, but atleast the gi bill will cover tuition! :-D
