Just to go back to the topic of annoying Admin issues, I just PCS'd to an overseas command with a small American contingent - effectively no Admin (my official admin department for USN issues is listed as a PSD that's not even in the same country as I). I submitted my PCS travel voucher. I got paid, but the voucher receipt said to submit a second voucher because I could claim more TLE days. Great!
Here is what's happened so far:
1. Try to submit a second voucher on N2P.
2. Voucher cannot be submitted as you cannot submit a duplicate voucher on the same set of PCS orders.
3. Contact AskMyNavyCC... they will certainly help.
4. 24 hours later, get a "case closed email from AskMyNavyCC" with a statement saying "contact your CPPA. If you still want to contact us, call this number but YOU MUST have your command's CPPA alongside you."
5. Call the AskMyNavyCC number and explain the situation.
6. Get asked about 10 times "are you sure there is no one that can help you at your command? Really? No one? Damn that be crazy." (Actual words.)
7. Get put on a "brief hold," only to be told my command does have CPPAs and I should ask them and AskMyNavyCC can't help me. No info on who they are, but instead a generic form on how to find them on NSIPS... and I'm confident that they are either looking at my previous command and NSIPS hasn't updated yet, or they are seeing the CPPAs from the out-of-country PSD, who you are not allowed to call/contact.
Has anyone ever been helped by AskMyNavyCC? The last thing I emailed them about they just told me that "PERS needs more time to update personnel files," (I was asking to have my CO's RSCA put on my OSR on a FITREP from 4-5 months prior) and to not contact them about the issue again.
