I am heading to the sandbox ( 6 month tour) in about a month and I have a question that needs clarification from the switched on admin types here.
I recently had my meeting with the deployed ops cell at my unit and we went over my pay etc for my tour.
I inquired why at the bottom of my allowance written in pen was the note - Level 1A - HA Bonus 0%.
I told the clerk (actually the clerk I was seeing in the Sgt IC of the deployment cell) that I should be level 1B because I did 6 months in bosnia in 2003 and just did 2 months in KAF - Nov and Dec of 08.
She checked and informed me that I had only 4 points total. 2 from my TAV in afghanistan and 2 from my tour in Bosnia.
I then told her I was in Bosnia for 6 months.. she checked my records and confirmed I was there - 01 Apr 03 to 29 Sept 03. Then she told me that HA bonus points are only calculated when we draw OP FSP.
Apparently for April till July I was collecting FSP and in August it was changed to OP FSP.
now... the really interesting thing, is that during my TAV in 2008 I collected HA Bonus as the clerk in KAF said I was level 1B. (I told the sgt clerk this, and she said that I should just keep my mouth closed about that before someone decides to collect the money back)
I said there must be some mistake because why would only 2 out of my 6 months in Bosnia be credited.
She said the "system changed" in July 2003 and I was not entitled before that.
I then said, "well, then how can anyone with time in Bosnia before 2003 count?, and what about the Golan, or Cyprus" She said every person was different and points are calculated correctly.. and, if I had a problem, I should do a little research to prove it.
Am I on glue? or is the Deployed Ops cell ?
