One prior-enlisted Army officer Task & Purpose spoke with said that he only made about 60% of his usual pay from their Oct. 15 paycheck and was unsure why or from where the missed amount came from. Other troops also posted online about sporadic pay issues.
“What we’re asking of our families right now is completely unacceptable,” Smith Duttweiler said in an interview with Task & Purpose on Thursday. “We are asking them to sit through financial instability that is absolutely not their fault and to just hold the line and be okay.”
Among the active-duty military families she spoke with, 55 said that they had expected to be paid last week, but weren’t. Twelve families weren’t paid, but pay documents indicated they might be paid over the next few days. According to Smith Duttweiler, more than 80 people said they were paid on time and with the correct amount of money reflected in their leave and earnings statement.
