ETS Date Error?

CPT Private RallyPoint Member — Fri, 13 Dec 2013 18:12:17 -0500

Looked at my LES. According to my current records, apparently my ETS date is 331031. I mean it could be right.... but I'm pretty sure there are not 33 days in the month of October, and I most definitely did not sign until 2031. I've never even heard of a 19.5 year contract. Who would be the best person to get in contact with to fix this super-flub of a typo?

First, do PFCs attain a 'Promotable' status?

As for your ETS, see your servicing Career Counselor; they are the only ones that can update ETS dates...that's what your first line supervisor should tell you, as well.

The format is year/mon/day. I wouldn't be too worried about it. What would be interesting is what it says down there for you leave days. Your ETS balance should almost be 600 days worth. If not then don't sweat it.

Also a thought. It also a coincidence that its almost exactly 20 years from now? Did you recently reenlist? Your contract may have been entered as INDEF.

Don't like being called out for giving ridiculous information?

Again, this lackadaisical, "Don't worry about it" attitude is not helping anyone. Just because it doesn't effect a leave balance, doesn't mean it doesn't effect anything else.

Let's say this PFCs ETS is currently actually 30 September 2015...do you think this error could effect anything?

Is there a way you two NCOs can take your discussion private? You are making yourselves look bad in front of everyone viewing this, especially the PFC who asked the question.

You would definitely need to see your S1 or even your Career Counselor may be able to assist, since he can see your contract information.

For two senior NCOs to be acting like this in this open forum in front of a junior Soldier is quite unprofessional on many levels, the both of you need to take step back, regroup and offer an apology to everyone who has seen and witnessed this debacle, especially the young PFC who initially inquired to begin with. You have both given great examples of some of the problems you both have complained about in reference to other leaders on other posts and forums. Practice what you preach gentlemen.

PFC 1st off, I apologize for what you have experienced within this forum, To respond to your question, you will need to get with your unit Career Counselor to address and most likely fix or update the issue. If they are unable to do it, they will escalate it further, in the mean time it will not affect your pay or real accumulated leave status, it may show and erroneous ETS leave accumulation, but that will automatically adjust within the system once they get it fixed, it is not a major worry for the current moment, enjoy your weekend and attempt to get assistance Monday.

I would like to apologize for my little rant. It was unprofessional. Easy to forget sometimes that everyone is looking at what you are typing. And thank you to those NCO's who pulled my card and pointed it out, I appreciate it.

PFC Rawlins, don't be distracted by us old guys shooting off at the mouth. At the end of the day you've been given good advice on how to approach your situation. Get with your first line next week and I'm sure this will be corrected for you.

It does sound like a typo or incorrectly typed data. I'm sure you read your contract. It sounds like you need to talk to your admin. NCO. I'm sure there is no 19.5 year contract. I mean there couldn't be could there?
