Default Our tax dollars at work!

US Army pays $16 Million dollars to soldiers who are AWOL or deserters, over a 2 year period!

No such thing as military intelligence.

Well if commanders are not filling out the paperwork and informing the Army of the status, one can hardly blame the army pay system.

What I want to know is did the Army get this money back?

I would think they could trace the accounts if its an electronic transfer, don't believe they use the snail mail system for that anymore?

I have been out for over 10 years, but when I was in, you had to have a very special reason not to have Direct Deposit for your military pay.

I am not sure that waiver is even still in existence any more. I think everyone has to have DD now.

I agree with that, so if someone is making withdrawals, they should be on a security camera somewhere I would think!
