Navy sailors forced to take out loans after being shorted on pay

This is totally unacceptable @SGT Cody Voye! I dealt with these issues when working at Camp LeJeune in the early 90’s when the Defense budget hadn’t been approved. Luckily, the issue was resolved quickly

Thank you my friend SSG(P) (Join to see) for making us aware. To be honest the title is a little misleading. The fact is that it is a months long backlog in updates to housing allowance updates and COLA for transfer to higher cost of living areas for these sailors.

This screw-up seems to be a result of consolidation of services. It seems the Navy organizational planners did not think this through.

"Cmdr. Matt Knight, public affairs officer at Navy Personnel Command, told the outlet that the Department of Defense requires the Navy to process Basic Allowance for Housing change requests within 30 days, but noted delays can happen.
"Navy Personnel Command and our subordinate commands take every measure to ensure the volume of transactions does not exceed our capacity, but occasionally backlogs do occur due to a variety of reasons. These backlogs are resolved as quickly as possible to limit the impacts to sailors," Knight said."

Hopefully the backlog will be resolved by mid-December at latest.
