About the same time, I found myself on a long 6-month course, away from my home base and in a similar situation; I went to see the Army Paymaster for some advice. He told me that there was something in Queens Regulations that stipulated that a serviceman had to receive a specific percentage of his/her daily rate of pay and that no matter what the recovery was against him/her, they could only take so much and had to leave you with the regulated amount. He wrote to the authority that were after me, pointed out the requirement and they backed off. Still had to pay it off, but over a much longer time and it sure took a lot of stress away at a time I really needed it (I had to sell my car as well).
