I just checked my pending deposit for my paycheck, its like 1071. I should be getting 680-715 for Lance. But, here's the question. Right now I'm on leave from my C school and after I'm done I go to report in to my permanent duty station(finally) I don't know if the fact that I'm not attached to any unit and don't have a barracks at all or meal card means that I should be getting partial BAH and BAS or what? The BAS I would understand, I no longer have a meal card anywhere, and I'm not assigned anywhere for them to take it out. I don't know how much BAS accounts for.
And to add insult to injury, there isn't anyone I can call to fix this. :mad:
If the deposit is pending on your account your LES for that period should be on your MyPay. Check that and see where the extra money is coming from.
Are you on leave from school or did you actually separate from it?

Advice...Save the difference until you check into your duty station and check into disbursing.
If there is a mistake made and it is not in your favor the government will get the money back ASAP and it may leave you with a reduction or NPD.:beer:

I think that it is really cool to see what the Marine Corps has evolved into: an informed society.
From the days when the pay roster told you what amount you would be paid, either by check, or cash, and your paper copy of an LES was somewhere to be determined, to the computer age where a Marine can keep track of what is going on.
We used to be a subject on a line (sometimes victim) of a Unit Diary Clerk.
We always dreaded an "NPD" (no pay due) or left to wonder why (while we were spending it) we got so much. :)
Even better is a Lance Coolie expecting about $700.00 on payday. Needless to say, that is a significant amount of cash compared to what it used to be.
No more trips to the Company Office and waiting while someone futzed around with their buds at Disbo to find-out what the situation was.
You gotta love the computer age.

I'm kinda glad I didn't go through during the computer age - I wouldn't have gotten into 1/2 the $h!t I got into - LOL!

I'm separated. If you look me up on MOL right now, all it shows is my rank, MOS, and name. No unit whatsoever.

That's what it says right now. I'm also getting 1050 in my next paycheck. This is roughly the 5th or 6th time I'll be getting a larger than normal paycheck. Once for RA, twice from leave before, and 2 more now. I'm assuming this time it's because I don't belong to anyone?
</pre>
Your BAH-P stopped on the 13th and BAH W/O started on the 14th so I'm guessing you detached your school on the 13th? The extra money is BAH W/O that you're getting cause you're a Marine Corps orphan until you join your new unit. They have to provide money for you to be housed until they can provide housing. Looks like you're also going to be getting BAS, since you turned in your meal card.
Haha at your states taxes. God I love Tennessee.
yeah, what BR34 said. the extra money is half a months BAH and your BAS which sould be the extra 300 bucks.
as for the taxes, MI doesn't tax military personnel unless you're in the guard! haha.
If the deposit is pending on your account your LES for that period should be on your MyPay. Check that and see where the extra money is coming from.
It may just be me, but Mypay usually doesn't have my LES up until towards the end of that month.
For instance, I was just recently able to see me LES for Oct, even though we are comming up on the Nov 1st paycheck.

Awesome. And I'm getting food and housing for free with my buddy and his parents.
And yes, NY loves to rape me every paycheck to send out all those welfare checks to NYC. God I hate my state.

That's because they aren't available until after the month's 2nd U&E. (unless you have someone get you a future LES)

its either your uniform allowance from before seperation, or its probually your travel money.
wait wait wait, what uniform allowance are you talking about? one, he posted his LES on page one, Two he doesn't rate his partial clothing allowance until year two to three. It's assumed that your gear is good from year one to two.
EDIT: and travel isn't given it's reimbursed. That is if they don't buy the ticket for you before you go.

ssgt, many of the new check ins out here when checking into the unit from school get a travel check for the travel from the school to the unit. and anything extra they get reimbursed. and the partial clothing allowance has been changed. you get it on the anniversary of you going to bootcamp every year. i received one my first year, and second year in.
You actually get half of the CRA on the first year anniversary and the full amt on the anniversaries following.
I never heard of anyone getting a check from disbursing, but I work in pay, not travel, so I guess I could be blind to what they do.
wait, what. I read it that you don't get anything the first year 'cause all your gear is supposed to be good.
wait, what. I read it that you don't get anything the first year 'cause all your gear is supposed to be good.
Nah, they give you half. But I'm not sure if it's meant to cover your first year or if it's for your second. I got 180 bucks in Feb 08 (PEBD is Jan 07).
then it should be for your second. See, what I'm saying is that the Partial is what you get the third year. I read this in the order.... but sh!t changes practically on a quarterly basis now.

I already got my clothing allowance, and I received 1500 for travel before I left, this is something new.
seriously, when the hell do you guys get travel before you go somewhere? STW is that jacksonville the florida jacksonville? like you were in school for over a year?

No, Jacksonville, NC. I went to Pensacola for A-School for 4 1/2 months, then to New River for another 4 months roughly. They give you the travel rate from Jacksonville, NC to wherever your duty station is if you tell them you're driving. My buddy scammed the system so good, I hate him. 1500 dollars and 8 days travel to go from LA to San Diego. It's like an hour and a half if that.
well, you guys got it good. They didn't allow boots to PCS like that. WE had tickets bought for us then we had to do a travel claim when we checked in. Sometimes life is unfair.....
That's the same way it was for me. I guess things really do change often. Although, it's only a travel advance he got, and when he DOES do his travel claim he won't get squat.
AAHHHH, I see. That's why I like my government credit card. I know exactly what I can use it on and don't have to worry about paying it back. Thing is, you've really got to plan when doing a cross country trip, some hotels don't have the government rate of 70 dollars a night.
