What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? My son is in Texas at Ft. Hood.
He went AWOL and because of the usual Army efficiency they only got him for 4 days actual AWOL because he left in the middle of a transfer. Ft. Lee didn't know they'd lost him and Ft. Hood didn't know they were supposed to have him.
At any rate he was back and went without getting paid for about 3 months. They seemed to finally get the pay fixed and he got one check. Now all of a sudden they're saying he owes them in the area of 9000.00 dollars. There's no way. 1) Even if this was for the time he was actually gone and still getting paid he doesn't make that much. 9000.00 is about a years pay for him. And no, no action has been taken on the AWOL business yet. 2) He thinks they're trying to charge him for battle gear they think he received but he never has been issued battle gear.
He's put up with a lot of crap from the Army starting with enlistment. And he's just about had it. No matter what he does they can't seem to get this straight. And if they don't pay him he can't even eat at times cause the DFAC's aren't always open as they used to be. For instance, it was open on Thanksgiving day but closed Fri., Sat., Sun., and Mon., after that. What do they expect him to do???
What can he do, who can he talk to? His command is aware of the situation and he's bugged finance. He simply doesn't know what to do next and he's about given up. He's ready to tell them to shove it and let him out. He said there's no way he can take 6 more years of this.
