This happened to my mom after her first promotion in the US Air Force. They forgot to increase her pay with the promotion. So they set it to the correct one. Unfortunately, when they fixed it, they locked in that pay grade for 12 years. It wasn't until many years down the road when her CO randomly took a look and saw the discrepancy in the pay - had he not, she would have been stiffed 100s of thousands of dollars.

- phaus 13y agoYea this story seems really unbelievable. Who in the hell cares so little about their income, especially with all the bullshit you have to deal with just to work for the military? Every time I was up for a promotion, I already knew exactly how much more money I would be getting for basic pay, housing allowance, sustenance, and everything else.
