This is where we are having a problem too, we are being told that WTU guys cannot go to the Finance Battalion, which is where this should be resolved. The so-called Finance rep for our WTU sent me an email on my issues and told me he was "looking into it." Hope you find someone at Finance who...

Rikers Island, I have called the Hotline before, and not really gotten much response, so I dont bother too much with that. I get further just asking Jason what the regs say about the various subjects that come up. Frank

Jason, Yes, after they fix the PEBD date, I will get 75% of basic pay at my grade, but what I am told is, not 75% of what I am currently receiving, but only 75 % of the basic pay at my grade at 15 years, instead of what I am currently receiving, 28 years. Someone else on the PEB forum is...

Jason, Yes, I am going to Retirement to try to get these orders fixed, but the main thing I need to know, is does my qualifying years for retirement according to the USAR Statement, 23 years 8 months, is this what is supposed to be on the orders under Section 1405? And not 15 years, like the...

Rikers Island, I called 1-800-342-9647, military one source, and they were very timely in getting me to USAR IG. Unfortunately USAR IG is extremely unfriendly, and tried to get rid of me by calling my issues, an "EO" complaint and put me through to the EO. I got sent to Major Torrance at the...

Jason, On my retirement orders the statute authorizing retirement is listed as 1372, why doesnt it state Title 10, Chapter 61, etc? My USAR Chronological statement of retirement points states years qualifying for retirement is 23 years, 8 months, 17 days. On my orders under Section 1405...

WTU soldiers need remedy for retirement paperwork done incorrectly Jason, At BAMC WTU currently our Retirement Orders and DA 2656 DATA are not done by qualified Personnel clerks, the result is that right now one Reservist has come back after his retirement date because Cleveland DFAS has...

Jason, If a soldier is transitioning out of the WTU to a disability retirement, he is cut retirement orders and DA 2656 DATA for retirement. From these documents his retirement account is set up by Cleveland DFAS. Currently WTU soldiers have this done by company level clerks who are not...

I did call the Wounded Warrior Assistance Line, and they sent me to the IG, the IG sent me to JAG, who called my Battalion Commander and then informed me that it does not matter that the regulations state that " all soldiers leaving active duty... are authorized PTDY.." because it is all up the...
