LOL - I promised the same thing to myself when I retired this year (from the military) and I still wait in lines.
The only time I remember my pay being lost for 3 months, is when I transfered from active to reserve. Someone did not setup my pay in the reserves. I finally got up my courage 3 months later to ask when I got paid. I was just a lowly specialist working with a lot of officers < g >. I got paid that next month. ;-)

>>This is true also for the military. When I joined the army, We had to stand in line and report to the Pay Master for our Monthly pay. And there were 2 guards present with weapons, at that room or area.

>>Today, there are no lines and the money is sent straight to our bank accounts.
>>That change took less then 20 years.
