A officers Are protected by Law and enlisted members Are generally protected by service policies once they hit 18 years a said the Pentagon official. Extending and modifying the old officer separation pay policy to include enlisted personnel and removing the previous Cap of $30,000 will be expensive.

The total Cost of $1.1 billion Breaks Down to individual payments that will average about $43,000 for officers and about $17,000 for enlisted personnel.

He said the debate Over the halt pay provisions was a Lively a As Navy and air Force officials pressed their views against making any half payments except in extraordinary cases particularly for homosexuality and drug and alcohol rehabilitation failures.

Sis Sharon Kilday Jehn said he shared the Navy s concern a that separation pay May be viewed by some As an incentive for poor performance or unacceptable but that concern is sufficiently addressed by changing the policy to ban any pay for separations due to misconduct and substandard performance Jehn said. Half payments should continue for the other reasons he said because they normally result in a discharges characterized As honorable Quot and because a variety of conflicting opinions exists on the Legal and social ramifications of those conditions. Jehn said he fully believes that the new policy is consistent with the Law.
