Well, I've been here for a while, so I'm quite aware of Oerdins insanity

Though I'll say that I'm so old here that I can remember a more sane Oerdin than we see now :

Don't be an idiot, Oerdin. Most of the appointees have gotten honors and medals. Like Heck-of-a-Job Brownie.

If they were so incompetent, they'd've never gotten those, right?

Oerdin, stop being a punk.

As a former Disbursing Officer (paymaster in Navy speak) glitches in pay, especially extra pay like signing/reenlistment bones, happen all the time.

The defense pay system is labyrinthine. I mean, its only a system serving 5 million odd people, I just can't understand why they would ever mess anything up.

Even me, as a Disbursing Officer, had to manually fix my pay three times (short DLA payment, an allotment that failed to cancel, 02 pay failed to kick in on time) and did you see me screaming and yelling on internet boards about how the President personally screwed me? No, I just contacted PSD, explained what happened, and *gasp* they fixed it *gasp*. Though Oerdin, having been in the military yourself, whose responsibility is it to monitor your pay and make sure everything is on the level?

Ten bucks there is an automatic system that looks at the entry and release dates of service members that is not privy to the reason why and sends an automated mail out if it isn't long enough to claim the signing bonus, oh the horror.

Note what your article doesn't provide Oerdin; what the soldier and the army did about it.

If he didn't ask the Army to fix it and went straight to the press, **** that guy. If he went to the Army and they told him tough luck then **** the Army. What I bet you did happen is that he went to the Army and they are letting him keep the money and fixing the minor bureaucratic problem. Both of them

A minor bureaucratic mix-up does not a scandal make.

Hyperventilating foaming at the mouth hack Oerdin

KDKA contacted Congressman Jason Altmire on his behalf. He says he has proposed a bill that would guarantee soldiers receive full benefit of bonuses.

At least there will be a benefit from this madness
