Hi Y'all. Just in talking with my HRO this week I was thinking that with my extra 1405 active time that they calculated for me from my RPAM statement, that I can take that time and add to my current AFS in order to see what I needed to get to 20 AFS. BUT that time (1405 Time) does not, I say again, does not count toward our 20 AFS until we actually reach 20 AFS first, then HRO/DRAS will add that time to those 20 AFS. I was under the impression that my 1405 is counted, TIME NOW, toward me getting 20 AFS in but HRO said they have seen DFAS recouping Soldiers pay that had the 1405 Time calculated in their AFS without that Soldier getting the full, straight, period of 20 AFS first. One example they told me was a Soldier that went through the IDES, had 16 AFS but had 5 extra years of AFS. This Soldier retired out medically and began drawing Concurrent as well. When DFAS did an audit they caught that somehow.
So I guess this is correct? I don't know but I trust my HRO as I've served with each of them. Still not sure why that wouldn't count within the current tour but.... Instead of thinking I was hitting 18 AFS this September and start a Terminal Duty assignment in Sep 2019, then retire out Sep 2020 with 20 AFS.. lol. I know, if I don't medically retire, will have to go to 2022 in order to get my 20 AFS then they'll tack on the 1405 Time which will put me at about 2.5% more.
If anyone knows something different please share.
