Army, us army, armed services, dfas breach of contract, full of lies, lies, lies

I am in the US Army under contract which specifically states I am to receive a bonus for entering into a military contract and I would get the duty station of my choice and would stay in the Continental US only and I would receive this bonus within 3 years.

I have yet to see the bonus paid correctly and DFAS says they have a regulation and they don't care what the Army contract states, they are not paying it for the 3 years promised but for 5 years for the contract duration. This is NOT what my contract states and it clearly states 3 years.

I am at an overseas location and have tried to get help from my chain of command (about 7 people) and have been told by my chain of command for a year and a half now 'too bad' and 'oh well, you are stuck'.

So I went to JAG for help. Yeah, a lot of help they were, I had to all of the work myself but they did type a DD form I had already filled out. Then through emails from the Captain at JAG I was told too bad if nothing happens and they can't do anything else about the breach of contract and I don't have anything else to do with it. I have been denied the bonus correction again by Finance Dept and DFAS because they just don't want to mess with it. The Captain and SGT First Class of Finance both said no.

I was reprimanded with extra work from my chain of command for several days along with the rash of screaming for going over their head to JAG to help myself since they would not. The Army is basically saying we don't care what your contract says, we will do what we want to and you can't do anything about it. At this time we are in the process of hiring a civilian attorney and collecting damages for the wrong doing of the Army.

If you enter into a contract with the US Army you should make sure you do not get screwed by them. Watch your contract and don't wait for someone else to help you, that was my mistake and I am being told I waited too long except they don't know what my chain of command would not let me do or not do for me!!!

I am sorry I ever trusted the recruiter which everyone knows (after entering into the Army) that the recruiter lies more than anyone in the military.
