Actually it's not necessarily DFAS that has me PO'd today but the Army's whole, well not actually the Army's but the Bases Mafia type BS. Paperwork I filled out 2 weeks ago did not get filed for almost 2 weeks and for some reason DFAS's fax machine is not accepting my paperwork. It took everyone else's paperwork but not mine, at least so I am told. It also appears that the finance people on my base only attempt a single fax a day, no deposit no return. To make a long story short, the 30k bonus I was expecting a few days ago will be an additional 7 - 14 days.

No K-3, no engine for my K-1, not synthasized radio, etc.. for my RC's and unless some miracle happens I will not be able to head over to Error's place for a bash weekend with Sky and Error. This really sucks. The person I talked to on the phone sid they would call and see if they could get my paperwork rushed through due to technical difficulties on their end. I have my fingers crossed but am prepared for the worst. What a way to start out a day.

I guess I can point the finger at me for not making infinate phone calls over the past 2 weeks asking the status of my paperwork and giving the finance people a clue how badly I want my bonus. Betcha a dollar they'll remember me until this transaction. I will call them not less than 3 times a day asking about this. Hell, I might even make an appearance but I will need to mind my temper as grasping someone' by their lapel's is not considered politically correct, though it does get your point across.

I think I'm going to go grab my sledgehammer and go make some boulders into pebbles. I need to work off this aggression before I make an appearance and do something really stupid.
 
i feel for ya ep i just got a letter in the mail saying they are going to activat me and i have been out for 5 years and i did my 8 year
 
Hey EL if you bug them as much as you post you should have your return within the next 20 minutes. LOL

Nah good luck there homie I know how expecting a big check to some and banking on what you do with it and stuff and than not getting it can be very disappointing.

You're in the Army EL?
 
Cool beans. Even better, DFAS came through and my check is in the bank. I guess a squeaky wheel will get you greasing.

Checks are always a good thing... You should get direct deposit setup, its definately the best way to get paid :)

My bank usually pre-pays me so I have my money before the Army ever releases the funds.

Just a little payback from a waste land thread where he said something about me being fresh meat and being next. LOL I couldn't help myself.
