What was your first discharge

Ron, You guys just means veterans in general who are fighting for benefits/looking at the same post and do not know the correct answers. Or are willing to ask. Not referring to yourself who has been responding to each of my posts or anyone who has experience in this area as there is only a...

Understood but hey at least it’s a push in the right direction which is all it takes. Once enough people back it they’re going to approve it just like everything else post 9/11. it’s sad to say but it’s mainly due to the social media influence on the world and things of that nature that help us...

Also was reading and seen that they decided to push pact act first instead of this as it would be more Beneficial for I more veterans. So now hopefully they can push for this since this is the main person who was fighting for this. This legislation is named in honor of Major Richard A. Star, a...

@ RonG have you done any reading into this at all? What would this affect? I understand some laws but they are just saying striking with which I assume that means replace...

Yes sir it is still hard to under this that’s all thank you for your time

So CRSC is calculated using longevity? What if the link I included is changed by law?

Yeah I understand that but what did your monthly CRSC payment come out too. I’ve seen people say they only have 400 or less and have 60% CRSC not sure how that works out I would think it’s more

Yup and that’s exactly what I am fighting for right now. So I’m curious which med retirement calculator did you chose the 2.5% x years of service* base pay or the dod percentage * base pay not to exceed 75%. I’m trying to figure out why one would chose the times service if we have not much...

That's great. And yeah Im assuming the only thing we can do is fight for what is rightfully ours. And use regulations to our advantage.

You guys are always using the least amount of percent. If he has 70% dod you would do retired base pay * 70% (not to exceed 75%) Quick math. For DDM_SGT So 1741.43×.70= 1218.30 Wouldn't this be his retirement pay? Based off the medical retirement calculator used on the link below by dfas...

So kinda confused here. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to just use the disability multipier for thos of us who med retired with not enough creditable yrs of service to receive a higher retirement pay. To me I was in for 4 yrs and am in process of changing disability and am wondering why would I...
