Sounds like something from Catch 22. If the Army says you’re dead, then you’re dead. Live with it.
I would suggest going to the idiot woman’s boss first, showing the evidence. I would expect that would take care of it.
If not, then go to that person’s boss, and keep going higher, eventually there has to be an honest, sensible person in the command chain, who will straighten it all out.
Best wishes.
Ok...She says he was never in Poland. Not an overpay for his time in Poland, but that he was never there.
Contact his congress critters
What is the Army threatening to do?
Maybe have a lawyer send a cease and desist letter to whoever is making the demand.
Army dudes in uniform arrived at the house to discuss collecting money? Baloney. The Army does not send folks to vets houses, they mail them a letter. Better dig deeply into this. Your State Representative has a military staffer- call them and give them the details. Call DFAS (Defense Finance and Acctng Service in Louisville KY- they can be searched for online. Does not pass the smell test, this one.
There are only two events that prompt uniformed members to call on a home- death of a service member on duty and Criminal Investigations Command- and those guys come in suits.
This is what your US Representative is for.
Hope you are in a conservative district.
He surely had a commander, a first-sergeant, admin. Use names, not just places. Any training records. Document where his billets were.
As I said, talk to her supervisor.
I can’t give any advice that has not already been given, (VA, Amer Legion,etc.), but I would advise that all communication be done in writing if at all possible. If not possible put the phone call on speaker phone and have someone else take copious notes, or record it if it is legal to do so. Check with an attorney before recording. Having written records prevents the Army from saying that they did not say “that”.
Did they tell him to buy a gift card in the amount owed and send it to them?
My dad was in the Marine Corps at Cornell University in WW II. He got
all his inoculations there to join the Japan invasion force. I think it was seven like your son got. He walked out of the building and passed out the front staircase.
More detail us needed.
VA or your nearest Vet Center should be able to help him out.
Veteran’s Affairs or, if you’re not urban, the local VFW commander is always an excellent resource.
Is that legit? Cause it sounds like a line out of the TV show MASH.
If you still get pay vouchers, isn’t it all there? Duty in Poland may authorize per diem which may be on a separate pay form. There may be a foul up on whether per diem was authorized? Dealing with Gov’t office workers is like dealing with an Insurance company. Going to the local VA rep should help getting the wheels to turn.
Keep speaking to a new person.
