It can be done, but take a good hard look at the situation first.. are you close to retirement?  Will you invest that $400,00 in such a way that that will not need to work any more?  that kind of money won't go far in this day and age.  Don't forget you'd also be giving up medical, commissary and exchange bennies as well as access to MWR facilities.

Yes and no.  BAH (with or without dependents) determines what the Army will spend for you to live off-post regardless of the bedroom count.   On-post the number of bedrooms are determined by the number of dependents that sponsor has.

the only moves the military pays for are  pcs  permanent change  of  station. and they will move you back to your hometown after   you finish your time. they dont pay when you decide to leave the service member. thats on you to foot the bill not them. the service member isnt moving so they dont care

Soldier, let me thank you for you service to our country. You are a noble warrior. My brother just retired after 23 years in the Army. He also served in Iraq. The best advice I can give you is to follow your heart. If you truly enjoy what you are doing, and if it means that much to you to stay in, do so. Get your retirement. However, if it is too much to bear or isn't what you see yourself doing for the rest of your life, cut and run. Take care and good luck to you in all you do. God bless you.

If you can go home for 6 months I highly recommend it .the army will move you from there ,but NOT TO THERE.Save all the money you can and keep any problems and distractions to a minimum,If you parents home is near a Fort you can and should get your ID cards ASAP and learn about army finance and ARMY COMUNITY SERVICE -they have wives and counsolers to advise and support you-you will both be fine - YOU BELONG TO THE ARMY FAMILY NOW!-lol

Well a few things can happen. Alot of it actually depends on the military unit they went AWOL from. First off, as soon as we change thier duty status to AWOL, we hold all pay and allowances... we inventory all property they leave behind within 24 hours. The Army has a group of military police called "AWOL Apprehension" that are informed and a notice goes thru NCIC to all law enforcement agency's. After 10 days we send thier parents a letter explaining that they are AWOL and explaining duty and honor. At the 31 day mark, we begin processing the paperwork to drop them from the military rolls and seperate them from the Army for desertion. They are given a seperation code on thier official records and DD214 that codes them as a dessertor.  With that code, it is difficult for them to apply to any college, they will be turned down for all state and federal jobs and they cannot recieve alot of different loans... to include alot of consumer loans.  Life at that point kinda sucks for them... and usually so does thier pay.  McDonalds and Burger King have even started denying them employment. If you can't get a job at Burger King... well that rests on it's own merits....lol.

My brother is going into the Army, he's shipping out to basic this coming Monday.\n\nThey offer in their commercials and whatever "up to $30,000" signing bonus.\n\nKey words: "up to"\n\nHe's going to be getting somewhere around a $14,000 bonus at the end of his 3 years; not exactly as much as he had hoped or thought he'd get, but still a big chunk of change.\n\nNot too sure if it's the same, but just an example that might prepare him if the paper work says otherwise.

If the discharge was not dishonerable you can probably get it changed yourself.  If it was a general discharge just contact DOD.

Join the military.  Your out of the house and you get paid too!

Yes, long as it's a substantial amount, ususally there is a line in their for that when you file, or if you go to someone who does them they would know where on the return to file, if you also wash your own uniforms for work you can claim that as well, also workbooks  Hope I helped.

Actually you do not get OHA if your living in BEQ.  You are entitled to COLA and BAH if you are married based on where your spouse is.  \n\nIf you are married you are also entitled to seperation pay and BAS married or not.\n\nTry getting a PAC and goin to the main Finance office whever you are.  Cola usually takes two months tocome through but you will get back pay to the 1st day in country.  Usually it's a finance screw up and the paper work didn't get processed.  Don't go to IG unless you have to.  You may need them later and they frown on people they see alot.\n\nGood Luck!

If you did not have it prior to enlistment in the service and it began while in the service, you can claim it as a disability.  But it will only be 10% or so, unless it is so high that you would explode if you moved,and that is hardly worth it.  They will treat you with BP medications and, for the most part, that will work sufficiently.\n\nIf you are trying to get out of the service with it, good luck.

Military discharges are confidential.The government would be the only one who can answer that question. I would say ask your congressman to find out where you can get a general estimate of the discharge classifications for those years.

I believe the annuity disbursement you receive is the retirement benefit and will not change.  You can contact the Army personnel office at any base and they should be able to tell you.

Unfortunately nowadays...it is VERY difficult for them to let go. I got a General Discharge under Honorable conditions while being activated under the Army reserves. My best advice is to get out if you are not deployed. Fail PT tests or gain weight. If you are deployed it will be that much harder...It will take time, but if you don't mind it is possible. Seek for a medical discharge or you have to file a claim against their beleifs...something like you are against war and can not be in the Army beacuse of your religion. It will take time, but it will be worth it. GOOD LUCK!\n...FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO CLUE, IT IS NEVER TO LATE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND, AND SOMETIMES YOU ARE NOT TOLD THE TRUTH, NOT JUST ABOUT THE MONEY, BUT TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL, HELP WITH SCHOOL, AND THE ACTUAL JOB YOU WOULD BE DOING. I SIGNED UP TO BE AN ADMINISTRATIVE SPECIALIST, AND I ENDED UP BEING DEPLOYED FOR POSTAL WORK IN SOME INFANTRY UNIT RIGHT IN THE HEART OF IRAQ. I HAD NO TIME FOR SCHOOL, WHEN I APPLIED FOR VA ASSISTANCE I WAS DENIED, AND MOST OF ALL WHEN I WAS SICK THEY PRETTY MUCH SAID 'WELL YOU LOOK PHYSICALLY OKAY, SO O WELL.' THEY FINALLY LET ME GO, WHEN I SHOWED THEM PROOF OF MY REGUALR DR. AND SAW THAT I WAS NOT OKAY!

There is no more money being a Ranger been there done that, we washed out three out of every four then the Army can place them where ever they want.  That is not good for you!  One gets Jump pay which used to be $155.00 a month then there is hazard pay when they are in harms way that was 150.00.  No way to get rich but I get a hundred and ten a month for no knees and half a hand, was it worth it?  HELL NO!\n\nGod Bless You and the Southern People.
