I just happened to open my LES to check credited leave dates and happen to see that there is a deduction of $184.14. It is labeled as advanced debt? Doesn't mention it on the bottom of the LES. Ive searched Google to no aval. Can anyone tell me what advance debt means? What is it for?

Did you take more vacation time than you had days in reserve for?

If you just left basic training, the advanced debt might be the amount of money that they forwarded you in basic to purchase your basic items like toothpaste, tennishoes etc. I think that was around that amount of money that you stated and this will be then deducted in your pay once you receive it.

yep that seems to make sense to me.

I have been out of basic for over a year and a half now. They already took out that money so I can buy my essential items the first month that I was there. I took 15 days of leave after AIT and I only had 12.5 avaible to me. But that was over 15 months ago. I dont think that is it.

GI Bill???

Have you recently received Seperate Rations? They usually pay you a certain amount and then take a smaller amount back when they do that.
