This is the right answer. DFAS is not only the largest payroll department in the U.S. (probably the world, unless the Chinese Army has something similiar) but the pay and benefit system is incredibly complex, with different amounts being disbursed depending on (just to name a few) your rank, marriage status, number of children, years of service, geographic location, type of job specialty, type of job duty, whether we're at war, what type of housing you live in, whether your job location offers meals or not. And all of these can change multiple times during the year. None of this excuses errors, but it's the members' responsibility to notice any errors and report them to their disbursing office. Once reported, the vast majority of errors are fixed within two weeks.
