We arrived in Japan December 23rd, which was a Friday. Pretty much everything was closed until Tuesday the 27th when he checked into everything. (His command, housing, and PSD) As an update, he got an e-mail stating he needed to check into Housing, and they are giving us a house on January 5th. HHG are still stored in VA, but our Express will be delivered that day. IDK why they decided to, but we're going with the flow.Anyway, I know he gets COLA, and TLA, and just wondering how long after checking into PSD should he receive it?
Still waiting on backpay for expenses we incurred (reimbursements, per diem, and extra hotel time)
I know that the New Year Holiday might screw things up, just wondering an approx timeframe.
TIA all, and Happy 2012!

I wouldn't expect Cola until his Feb. Pay."Obstinacy is a fault of temperament. Stubbornness and Intolerance of contradiction result from a special kind of Egotism, which elevates above everything else the pleasure of its own autonomous intellect, to which others must bow.: Carl von Clausewitz -

01-02-2012 05:11 AMIt took about a month after we got here to get cola/reminburments/ect. I think our big paycheck was almost $17000. It was nice, but went to everything we had to pay off..

01-02-2012 09:27 AMCOLA took about a month, at most month and a half!
And HHG are suppose to take longer because of the heavy flow with the holidays. Well, that is what we were told!"Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."
