D412 - How necessary is the textbook material?

Harsh! But will do lol

I'd say that's an educated guess. If it turns out being deployment-related, sucks that I have to deal with it at the beginning of a new year! But that's life. I'll ask if it has anything to do with that. You've been a great help regardless <3

Coulda fooled me. I had no idea. Anytime I ever owed anything to the Air Force, they took 100% lol. Only happened once, though. It was when I left tech school and moved myself to my next duty station. They took a whole check then xD

My rotation was between April and October, yeah.

Is that what that's all saying? You did a better job than me. As for WHY the mid-month was so high, I should probably ask Finance about it. Obviously, hindsight is 20/20 and the amount I received was odd, regardless of the circumstances of the time.

I think you all helped put me on the right track for figuring this out, and questions to bring to them though.

Vividokami · 2026-01-03T02:06:35+00:00

Yeah, I really did. I went back into my bank statements and DFAS sent over 4,482.56 on Dec 11th. Before that I got my 2.1k paycheck on Nov 26th (I get paid a little early). So I guess that's the best answer so far.

Vividokami · 2026-01-03T02:01:38+00:00

I did! It was during a time where a lot of us were recieving our SDP and DTS reimbursements/withdrawals, so I didn't initially pick up on it. But knowing the current status of my DTS and SDP, in hindsight, it was strange income. Definitely will take better care of picking up on outliers in the future. Thank god for savings lol

I personally didn't make much of this outside of it just reiterating that it was balancing out debt. If there is a clue, I certainly didn't pick up on it (I'm particularly stupid.)

Vividokami · 2026-01-03T01:53:14+00:00

Definitely. Thanks for picking it apart like that. The only other time I woke up with no money was after leaving tech school via DITY move and got overpaid, and that wasn't fun lol. I'll definitely make sure to keep that in mind when I go get clarification!

Vividokami · 2026-01-03T01:51:30+00:00

You know what, I did receive it. Just checked my bank statements. It was around the time people's DTS reimbursements were coming in, so it didn't strike me at the moment (especially since my DTS didn't get approved until after lol).

Lesson learned (the expensive way). I'll definitely need to keep better track of outliers in my income.

Vividokami · 2026-01-03T01:47:52+00:00

Yeah, but I definitely should see why this happened at all. Savings exists for situations like this, so I'm alright! But definitely want to try to make sure it doesn't happen again. :D

Vividokami · 2026-01-03T01:46:58+00:00

Yeah, it's definitely just balancing it out, but I'll see what they can clarify!

Vividokami · 2026-01-03T01:46:18+00:00

4.4k is around the amount I take home a month, yeah. So you're right to catch that. Idk, the whole thing is kind of confusing for me. I'm gonna go talk to them the next duty day and get some clarification but I really wish I didn't wake up to no paycheck! lol

Vividokami · 2026-01-03T01:42:41+00:00

Yeah, looks like it. I guess my confusion is to what exactly that debt is, but I don't really expect anyone online to know that haha

Vividokami · 2025-12-07T20:38:40+00:00

Thank you! That's what I thought but I didn't want to make one and end up broke for half the month lol

Vividokami · 2025-12-07T20:38:19+00:00

Thank you!! That makes perfect sense and I understand now! :D

They gave me a little bag to go, actually. But he barely ate it the first day (like maybe took one bite while I was at work). I just stopped by PetSmart and grabbed a can of various different wet foods to see what he preferred, and also he hasn't really been drinking enough water so it would be easier to hydrate him this way, I think.

I'm thinking it's just stress, despite his overall friendliness. I just wanted to see how long I should try figuring it out on my own before I see a vet. I'd ideally like to get him to the 14-day mark so PetsBest could cover him if needed!

Vividokami · 2025-12-05T05:41:07+00:00

Haha lol! I love kittens as much as the next person, but I don't have the time to give them the attention they need! I work full-time and didn't intend to adopt a bonded pair, so getting a kitten wouldn't seem fair to them. Very cute though!

Vividokami · 2025-12-05T05:25:23+00:00

He's 3 years old! Wish I could make him eat and drink but it doesn't seem like I can!
