On BSA/CEA I spoke to my clerks last week and they were assured that it would be paid on 13 Apr (normal date 6 Apr) well as I bank on-line I checked and guess what? No dosh! No 1 son then admits to taking a phone message from some dude called CEA who said it would be in the bank next Wednesday 19 Apr and they'd pay any bank charges or interest incurred from late payment of fees.
Bit of an act of faith required as I write out another large cheque and send it to school on Wednesday night!!!
We have another twist on the whole JPA thing. My unit is Joint and European based. Our bearer system for JPA and other stuff is the Army equivalent of RAFCCIS or whatever. But to get on you need an Army issued account and password and then you use your JPA account/password. Guess what the G6 response to a whole bunch of Crabs seeking access to the Army network was??
Ho hum - the pay's the same (if only I could be sure it would turn up!)
