SGT Roppel I received 81K before tax and 56K after tax. You are taxed @ 26% at the Fed Level and then taxed again @ the State level.

Once you get your 214 you can submit it to VA. As you know you will not get paid until the VA get the DA 214. My leave began on 14 Aug 12 - 2 Nov 12. I turned my DA 214 in on I believe 10 Aug 12.

Good Luck!!!!!! And Thanks For The Help!!!!!!!
