How are Marines selected for that duty?
Very carefully....
My emergency fund was budgeted till the start of retirement pay. Thats why im upset that i listened to the others who said it would come on time. So basically i had 3 months of funds which looking back i probably should have tried to get closer to 6 months with my current situation. 20/20Not being a smartass but wouldn't a military credit union like USAA or navy federal be familiar with this and offer short term loans? Was this beyond your emergency fund when you retired?
Again, not trying to be a prick, just asking before you start selling things when there might be other options.
Holy crap i think thats the longest ive seen so far.It took me 6 months before I saw retirement pay and 9 months before VA showed up. DFAS told me that my retirement would start the day after my retirement became official, they lied.

Im sure i could get a loan through normal channels but id rather not pay an interest loan since AER is literally only $100/month interest free.
Basically, im putting my eggs in all baskets right now instead of just one. So whichever is the first bite until its resolved wins the prize lol.
are you getting both retirement pay and va compensation? I am 100% medically retired and 100% Va compensation but I do not get retirement pay since the va pay kicked in.It took me 6 months before I saw retirement pay and 9 months before VA showed up.

Wow guess theres a few of us here.are you getting both retirement pay and va compensation? I am 100% medically retired and 100% Va compensation but I do not get retirement pay since the va pay kicked in.
Thats messed up but i know the guidelines for crsc are weird. Even if its not considered eligible for crsc currently ive heard of people getting documentation to show it is eligible in a round about way. You can stop sbp too, you have one time exemption to stop payment.No at the point my 100% T&P VA pay kicked in my retirement ended (but the Army still expects me to pay a portion of what I was supposed to get into the SBP, that my wife would never see because of the VA death benefits she is entitled to) because of the way my injuries were classified. Even though they were caused by an act of an unfriendly nation, in an area that is still a combat zone, they are not combat related so I don't get concurrent pay.
This dumba$$ chick walks into a recruitment office.....playing an Infantry Colonel....
Sounds like she has had some success with that before. I'd strip her of that uniform and throw her out onto the street bare ass naked.
