I am more than willing to look over your DD Form 2860, I will certainly NOT take any compensation as I do this voluntarily for the Army, therefore are restricted from taking any, and I'm 100% fine with that :)

Here's the problem, and you can review the definitions for each AC, IN, SW, HS, etc on the last page of the DD Form 2860. The ONLY time I've seen someone get awarded PTSD for other than AC was for Military Sexual Trauma (MST) and even that one was a shocker as it's usually only if the veteran...

DD Form 2860 has all the definitions on the last page of the form, this is the only definition to go by:

Were you in the Blended Retirement System (BRS) or traditional? If traditional, you're looking at approx $1,842.95. If BRS, $1,474.36. Understand, these are GUESTIMATES ONLY, DFAS has the final say. Also, you're maxed out for longevity, so regardless if you are 70% or 100% or even if you...

high-36 x DOD Ch 61 rating

Indeed it is -

Look at your "Gross pay" on your eRAS, divide that by your DOD Ch 61 rating to get your high-36. Also, were you in the Blended Retirement System (BRS) or traditional?

So, I've seen a lot of folks switching branches without any issues, of course, there's always the first :/ Definitely include AR 600-8-22 Ch 8-11 (see below), save you some work since I refer to this a LOT in my FB group. Timeline for AF has been running approx 120 business days (+/- 175...

Guestimate using the current O-3 over 6 amount which is $7,737 x 2.0% x 7 = $996.52. I am not sure where you're getting $6,280 from for your Ch 61 estimate, if I use the current O-3 numbers as before, I'm getting 7,737 x .75 = $5,802.75. To get a closer amount figuring in COLA/2-year step...

You have a better chance of getting it approved as long as you have documentation making the causal relationship between the condition(s) and combat-related event(s). i.e., "injured (broken hand) during high optempo aircraft maintenance operations during REFORPAC"

Apply: I thought it wouldn't be worth it for myself because I thought my residual was too high. That was NOT correct, and even though it wasn't much, it was what I deserved above the rest I was getting. As for unintentional consequences: there are none, it does NOT reopen your VA claims if...

Exactly right! Also, fyi, I had to edit your post as somehow there was a paragraph at the bottom of the replied section attributed to spammers, I removed it. However, your comment is still pending approval but for whatever reason, its not allowing me to do so. My suggestion would be to copy...

DFAS states 60-90 days, reality is 30-60 days, so you could see it in the next month (ish)

It can be anytime between now and 60 days, sometimes it'll post BEFORE your first payment, depends on how long DFAS takes with their audit.

Congrats!

Make sure you join the right one! The link to mine is in my signature block below :)

Discharged or retired? Look at the Block 23, does it say “Separation” or “Retirement”? It has to say “Retirement” to be eligible

Gunny speaks from my heart :) lol

Absolutely zero :)

States right on HRC's page that it MUST be wet-signed.
