>(beyond sending the forms to say Joe/Jane is now this and should make $) This is how it works now. The improvement needs to be the standardization of personnel record keeping. The root of DFAS's problems come from the fact that each branch has its entirely unique personnel codes, acronyms, and other stuff. If the DOD was ever able to standardize the personnel record then they could begin to standardize payroll. An example: the last date that you are under contract to serve can be called the following: EAS, ECC, EOS, RCN, EOS*. All of which represent different dates to different branches and components.
