Saw that post from Monica last night and texted her info to my SR's girlfriend, who has not made arrangements yet. Not something people want to deal with at PIR of any other time:(

Shelly: I had the same thing happen when my son was there....but he was able to call that night after watch on the same day when the division called. Just know that when your SR misses division calls, there is usually a good reason for it. Even appts on base, etc can cause them to miss it. Hopefully he can call soon!
Good Morning!
Anyone staying at Ramada for PIR? If so, please read the post by monica on the PIR 10/31 group---posted yesterday. This hotel has had lots of issues in the past with families staying there. Please read monica's post and also check out TripAdvisor.com for reviews of it....then make your decision. We want you all to be safe!

Thank you so much Kim. That makes me feel a lot better. I know he would have called if e could. I just worry but of course if there was bad news I would hear! Thank you again have a great day.

Shelly...that happened to me a couple of weeks ago. The division called on Friday evening but nothing from my son...then on Wed the following week he called and said he couldn't call Fri because he was busy with ship staff so this was his make call. I don't know if it happens every time but I sure hope you get that call

Today division 009 got calls. It seems everyone I know who has a SR in that division got a call except me. He's ship staff so maybe that was in the way. Or he had to stand watch. Do they usually get to make up calls they miss???

Here is the link to Navy Pay Basics though:
-
-
Military personnel do not receive a pay stub. They receive an LES. Leave and Earning Statement.
Their pay is Direct Deposited and the statement may be viewed on myPay through the DFAS -Defense Financing and Accounting Services who services all DoD (Department of Defense) entities.
Military and DoD members only have access to MyPay through their CaC - Common Access Card or a by username/ password. Think ID but it actually does more than serve as that.
So, civilians may not access the sight...unless your loved one provides the username/password for you. Which is not advised...unless absolutely necessary, usually deployment.
You can Google LES and MyPay and find the links or I can add some if you're interested.

also, Melissa: He will be able to get on mypay.dfas.mil when he has online access again and set up his password/etc--- has all of the pay, deductions, even will have his W-2 forms on it eventually. Everything is online with the military pay.

Melissa, The first couple of paychecks will look a little crazy. There are deductions taken out for uniforms supplies, recruit card etc. Later there may me deductions again for photos, personal supplies etc. There is no way to know what exactly has been deducted at this point.
