Navy Spook Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 If you are getting paid for the period "Sept 94 to Dec 94" that is your retro period. If you are confused you need to write exactly what your award letter says. You can't interpret it for us and then ask for information about your interpretation. Let us know what it says and we will interpret it. Military retirees earn their retired pay by service alone, and those unfortunate enough to suffer a service-connected disability in the process should have VA disability compensation added to their earned military retired pay, not subtracted from it.

kookiebean2001 Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Here is the gist of the award Edited November 2, 2011 by kookiebean2001 A man who won't die for something is not fit to live. Martin Luther King, Jr. 1. Faith is the ability to not panic. 2. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you pray, don't worry. 3. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home every day. 4. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape. 5. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot. 6. Do the math. Count your blessings. 7. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts. 8. Dear God: I have a problem. It's me. 9. Silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted. 10. Laugh every day, it's like inner jogging. 11. The most important things in your home are the people. 12. Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional. 13. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open. 14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry. 15. He who dies with the most toys is still dead. 16. We do not remember days, but moments. Life moves too fast, so enjoy your precious moments. 17. Nothing is real to you until you experience it, otherwise it's just hearsay. 18. It's all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again. Just be sure to flush when you are done. 19. Surviving and living your life successfully requires courage. The goals and dreams you're seeking require courage and risk-taking. Learn from the turtle -- it only makes progress when it sticks out its neck. 20. Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
