Land duty allowance for ex members

[jAKE1982]

Hello, glad to see that most serving army members are receiving their LDA, field pay or whatever they are calling it these days much deserved IMO. My question is has any former members received their back pay they were entitled to while they served?? Anyone know anything about this matter?? Thanks.

I was told by the CC of my former unit that we won't see it until at least Fall 09. Using the usual time adjustments for military pay, I put that somewhere about Xmas.

Serving members first, low rank to high. The rest of us later. That's all the explanation I got.
