Why is my LES blank?

I was mobilized for that blimp fiasco in November, got my pay for that but didn't get the per diem and travel pay for that so I have been checking myPay to see when I would get it. There is an LES for tomorrow but the Amount Forwarded and such are blank. I googled to see what was going on and all I could find out is that it might be somebody messing around in my DFAS file. Is this meaning I am not getting paid due to some debt I was not aware or is the Army just being Army and messing up my pay?

that is very strange SPC Private RallyPoint Member. I hope that the US Army and DFAS did not "mess up your pay."

Check the remarks block. It should have data like bank account and state claimed. I get blanks with remarks that I changed my "my pay" pass word. If there is nothing there, you need to let your squad leader know so that AGR and S-1 staff can look for problems.

Nat'l Guard - if you did duty (not drill) and got a LES for that pay, and for whatever reason didn't do drill (2 days of that other duty were classed as drill, maybe) the Guard may send you a regular LES that corresponds to the normal LES for drill that shows no pay. I've seen a bunch of them, always check with the unit clerk when it happens.

Yes, check the remarks section. It should tell you what is going on. I have received blank ones for debt (typically SGLI whenever I don't have drill a certain month) it also shows whenever there are certain changes.

You're travel and per diem should be done by DTS. There won't be a LES for that. Check with your unit and find out if they did one for you. Like others said check remarks on LES.

NG has multiple pay days, for each pay day you get an LES, regardless of you actually getting paid. If you look back at all your LES's you'll see a bunch of blank ones. Per diem & travel pay come from DTS. Have a finance guy pull it up & check for you, I'm fighting with DTS currently on getting paid for a training I went to. Some jack ass revoked my orders after I went so it cancelled the pay.
