Is anyone in the know about certain units being designated "Field Units", and receiving $200 some odd bucks a month on their pay? Is this happening? If so...when?
LCIS-Tech said:This has now been officially passed on to us in an O gp on 2 Apr 08. Here is what were were told:
1. $238 per month for all mbrs posted to "Field Units". I am pretty sure that if you have the word "Regiment" at the back-end of your Unit's name, then you probably qualify.
2. This will be a taxable benefit. No surprises there.
3. Field Pay will be retro-active to 1 Apr 07.
4. Back-pay and initial payments to commence Nov 08. (That means about 22 months worth of back-pay, i.e. $2600 @ 50% tax)
5. If you were in the field and recieved Field Pay during the period of 1 Apr 07 and Nov 08, you will have that amount deducted from your back-pay amount.
A nice little chunk of change, just before Christmas!!
This has not been approved as of this date.
One point to add. From what I received from my chain of command, that is the starting rate. The more time you have in a "Field Unit", the more you will receive. I forget the amounts, but it gets quite substantial.LCIS-Tech said:This has now been officially passed on to us in an O gp on 2 Apr 08. Here is what were were told:
