Hello, I need to know if my BASD, PEBD & BESD right? Does my active duty time not count? Thanks

I joined Army Active Duty 27 Jan 2010 to 19 Sept 2014. The IRR 19 Sept 2014 to 29 Aug 2017. Took a break in service until I joined the Army National Gaurd (ARNG) 27 May 2020.

Now my ERB shows that my BASD date is "blank", PEBD and BESD is 27 May 2020.

Your BASD is irrelevant since you're in the Reserve Component. If you rejoin an active component your BASD will be recalculated. It's only used to calculate your time towards an active duty retirement, if you're not on active duty it's not applicable to to you.

Your PEBD is incorrect and should be around 2013. What your ERB says isn't as important as what your LES says. If DFAS is tracking the correct date then you're getting paid correctly. But your PEBD does still need to be updated because that may affect your TIS for promotion

Roger, my LES also reflects a 27 May 2020 pay date. My TIS is showing 00 on my LES.

SGT Terria Wheeler then you'll need to get with your S1 to complete a DA 1506 and submit it to your finance

I have had mine adjusted due to transitioning from active duty to the guard and then back to active duty. It is really confusing how they do it. but as did it before you pay entry basic date will stay the same unless there is a period that didn't qualify. I had a year and a half break of service where I wasn't in the IRR. All of my other time from being a reservist and an active duty accounts still. So my pay visit entry date was adjusted to reflect as if I only had one period of service minus all the breaks. Basically if you did four years and then went to irr only to join the national Guard again for four years before getting out that would count as one period. If you came back to yours later into the military they couldn't count those two years as credible service for pay so they would move your years of service two years to mitigate the gap.

SGT Terria Wheeler - Or your DD214 should take care of the Active Duty part.

SGT Terria Wheeler - This is what my LES looks like. I joined in June 19, 2000. I had a year and change break that was not in the IRR. That is why my new PEBD is NOV 07, 2001. My BASD is not MAR 13 2007. I had ten years in the Guard so they consolidated my service. But it seems like your pay date is wrong.

You need to go to your state hq’s and ask to see the retirement NCO. They will take all your documentation and calculate your correct PEBD & BASD.

How do I determine if my BASD, PEBD & BESD are correct? Does my active duty time not count?

Do a review of your RPAM first with your admin NCO. Make sure your Iperms have all orders, DD4 and reenistment documents. Match them against your RPAM statement This. This would help to make sure all service time is correct.

Submit a 1506, have the adjutant or retention verify it and let finance encode it in the system

Your active duty time counts. You should be able to get the date added with a copy of your DD-214, unless I'm mistaken. It's been a while since I retired, but your time counts.

There is a calculation form they use to determine your dates. I still have mine, lol. I was active and then got out for 12 years then joined the NG for three years, one year deployed, and did an RC/AC transfer back to active duty for 14 years until medical retirement. So all three were different for me, BASD and PEBD were the most important to have right. Get with your retention NCO and have documentation for all your dates. It's an easy fix and important to have correct.
I'm just going by my personal experience.
