My hubby just came back from deployment in Turkey almost a mnth ago. We calculated everything and the USAF owes us around $3, 000. How long does it usually take to get that money to us??? He told me whenever they decide to, but isnt there like some kind of timeframe??

one thing I have noticed.. when the military owes you money, they take their sweet time about getting it to you. But when you owe THEM, they want it yesterday.
seriously, it can take months. six months is not unheard of.

You should be getting it shortly. It normally takes about a week after filling out the travel voucher.
Did he take any advancements prior to going or even while deployed?
With Red Horse, where I was deployed about 50-75% of the time, It seemed that if we didn't get our TDY money right away, it would be in our paychecks no later than about a week later.
They are not going to hold up the money just because they want to piss you off. The money was already allocated for that particular deployment so the money is there.
It might be that, if there was a large number of personnel that were deployed, it could take some time for all the vouchers to be processed.
Did you calculate it yourself? If so, you might be in for a rude awakeining when you finally do get your pay voucher. I would like to know how much you actually get back, when it finallly comes.
Did he stay in Tents while deployed or in a Hotel off base/post or in Billiting - On base? That has a lot to do with how much he will get reimbursed. If he was in tents, then its possible they also had meals provided by the military which will null out a lot of the funds you think you might be getting.
Is this his first deployment?

I dont know about the USAF, but the USCG takes their dear sweet time. The way my BF tells me, basically because it's the government they do what they want unless the person points out the error. With him, they aparently paid him too much then arranged for it to be paid back, then took too much from him, and the "too much" that they paid him in the first place was wrong. So it's this big math problem that he has to figure out on his own because the government is being stingy. I don't think there's a set time frame unfortunately.

I wonder which base you are at my boyfriend got back from Turkey in August. I know he said sometimes it can take a while but if it has been a month so to the finance clerk and ask what the delay is.

what's NDI bro? tell me and that i will supply you the records, yet seeing how something of the AF for the main section deploys each and every 18 months fantastically plenty, that'll maximum in all probability be you. My profession field at my unit deploys each and every 5-6 months for form of 7 months long, I easily have decrease than a month left! yet purely some profession fields interior the AF specially instruments will set up greater speedy than each and every 18 months. supply me a lil' records on NDI, like what it potential, and that i will hook you up. Later

hunny most of our air force bases don't have the amount of people we need to work in the shops and such,cause all our ppl are being sent over to iraq and other places,to deal with our problems...so it's going to take anywhere from 3 to 9 months to get exactly what you are in titled....but don't worry if your hubby was promised it you will get it....i feel your pain ,i've been threw it...i hope i helped....hang in there ,it's rough as a us airman spouse....just make sure he keeps checking in with the financal office every so often...yours truely airman cargos

I wouldn't count on $3000 you figured, it's most likely wrong. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

What was it that you figure you spent that the Air Force would owe you around $3000? You are authorize certain expenditure with limits. Please send me a message through the Y&A giving some examples.
