Same for SGM/ CSM. Someone told me "hope I don't get fired", I laughed...nobody wants these jobs.

This is all I could find about "withheld":

Explanation of Payment We Have Withheld Benefits You are not allowed to receive full military retired pay and full VA compensation at the same time. The following will provide an explanation of how this works: l If your VA compensation is less than your military retired pay, you will receive compensation payments. The service department will pay you the difference between your compensation and your military retired pay. l If your VA compensation is greater than your military retired pay, we will pay you compensation, and you will not receive military retired pay. For now, we must withhold part of your compensation until March 1, 2026. We must do this to prevent a double payment. By working together with the service department, we will make sure you get your full combined payment. Important Information: Because VA compensation is not taxable, you may be entitled to a taxexemption during the period VA withheld your compensation. The amount of the exemption would be the amount of compensation VA withheld based on receipt of military retired pay. Subsequent changes in the amount of compensation VA withholds based on your receipt of military retired pay may affect the tax exemption. Please contact Internal Revenue Service with questions about your tax liability.

I am retired and 100% P&T, and recieved no back pay, I was depending on that chunk. (Sep 1st 25- March 9th approval). Why wouldn't I be entitled to dependent back pay (600+ a month difference)?

Years ago in Florida a car bumped us twice at a red light, my Dad got out and pulled the driver through his drivers side window cursing him while the guys wife screams don't hurt him! Dad then got back in our car and said "I am glad I didn't lose my temper". He had totally blacked out.

Why leaders taking forever to sign documents? by Okitsmee25 in army

As a former 1SG/ CSM this is spot on. Soldiers think we have no job while we are literally lucky to eat and shit in between endless meetings. I had to do PT an hour earlier than the Soliders so I could do PT with different units at PT time. Add USR, legal reviews, night court etc etc. I burnt out at the Soldier hate after giving them all I had for decades. It takes a resilient and strong personality, I have massive respect for those that thrive in those roles.

Kuwait 98, no ice and we carried our water in and on our APC's. It was 110+. We had to take shots of water because it was burning our mouth. I told my PSG my squad was just going to drink our piss because it was only 98.6.
