Show me the money

After kvetching for more than 12 months I have been paid leave (3.5 days) that the army (guard) has owed me since 2003. It was 11.5 days last year right before New Orleans. Such incompetence makes one wonder how these idiots keep getting promoted. I think the answer is rather simplistic; when dealing with a problem soldier a commander has three choices: try to fix the problem, attempt to discharge the soldier, or promote the soldier and send this person elsewhere.
