The CAOC bosses loves to have these dudes running around because they usually have the answers. I would love to see finance officers get a patch school...so I can get paid the correct amount in a reasonable amount of time.
Are you on crack??? This will never happen because the finance guy will NEVER stay late for a debrief or meet at the club for a beer on Friday (got plans to go to "bed bath and beyond tomorrow--don't have the time"). The CAOC guys would also get mildly ****ed off when the 2Lt tells the One Star that this pay situation could not possible happen in a combat zone due to AFI 69-6969. He will happily write himself a bronze star medal after that discussion for saving 50 cents which prevented something really important from happening on time.
