First mistake. You are your best career manager. Two months ago they told me I used 25 days of leave that I didn't take. You can bet that I caught that and had it fixed.
"I'd been in the Army a long time, and when they tell you something, you believe it."
Do what? I question everything. It is amazing how things get over looked. The longer you are in the Army the more you should know that.
Anyway, thanks for your service.
Good post. All on active duty know their service agreement(s), to include all officers who incur an extra year or years of service from schools such as the advanced course, CGSC, or any civilian schools for graduate degrees. I am not sure how the Guard works, but; I do know the Reserve used to send out annual statements. Regardless, the man served and got paid for his service. It does not appear he is complaining. So, I thank him and all who serve honorably.
