I was at the Fleet and Family Support Center today to pick up one of those Christmas angel tree cards and I picked up a little booklet called "the Quick series guide to military income." It doesn't go into much depth, but it has descriptions off all the different payments, allowences, allotments, etc. It probably wouldn't do much for you guys who have been in for a while, but if you're like me and don't even know what half these acronyms stand for, you should look into it.

deployment sucks
there's also a book called "highlights of military income" (could be the same one, flyingbeagle) published each year. i was just about to quote from it on this thread about dla but i think you guys have covered it 
I sit here and laugh out loud at this, but yet, I know how true it is.HH-60H said:I tried to pay my Advance Pay back. I went to PSD, wrote a check, received a receipt. Next LES/paycheck they paid it all back to me! Then they started taking it out of my paycheck again.
Why is a fleet SWO asking questions like this to guys who have never been to the fleet? I know you know where to find this answer, Road. And if you don't, well, Jesus, PM me then and I'll get the answer for you.Road Program said:
Is it anything like the "Quick Series Guide to Getting Laid"?FlyingBeagle said:
I think the most you can get is $10k, even if it is less than 3 mo. Now, I have never seen that in writing, but I applied for 3 mo and only received $10k. I also know of another O who PCS'd from a different base (different PSD, squadron, etc.) and he also only got $10k.

Similar, but cheaper and without the burning.

Just a guess here, but even though you are at your PDS in location, you are not at the "Ultimate Activity" on your orders. When you get to primary and TRAWING 6 is dealing with the paperwork, you'll probably see things start to happen a lot faster. Nobody's worried about you or your pay while you are waiting around at NASC/ A-pool.
Wait, who exactly is eligible for dla? what if youre an snfo reporting to nasc (non-prior)? nasc is our ultimate duty station but ive never known if we get dla or if thats something for the prior enlisted O-1s. Its like DKs dont like talking to me whenever i go to corry psd cuz i ask too many questions. oops...
Again, if you were commissioned, and then sent to API, your orders are Commissioning Orders and not PCS orders. Therefore you are NOT eligible for DLA. However, if you somehow got held up at your commissioning source (Academies or ROTC) due to, say medical reasons, and were "transferred" to the unit permanently so that your next set of orders sent you to API as a PCS, then you'd be eligable. Not that I would know, or anything.
