I joined the Army on 20100515. I did not complete my initial contract. That is another story for another time. I completed 2 months and 5 days. I came back into the Army again on 20150910. I signed another contract with retention and now my PEBD is being questioned, why? I was given my back dated time in service so my BASD reads 20150710. However my PEBD reads 20130910. Now retention wants me to go pay back 2 years of pay difference. Why is my PEBD different? Does it have to be changed? I also have a DA Form 1966/1 (Record of Military Processing) from MEPS where Section 18 block c. shows a pay entry date of 20130910. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

This is a relatively common situation.
In a nutshell, retention is correct - your break in service will cause an adjustment to both your PEBD and RYE date. This has ramifications to which pay column you fall into and may induce a significant debt.
However, whoever brought you back into the Army without making that adjustment at the time screwed up badly and needs to get a slap from their boss.
You don't have a lot of grounds for redress here, as the PEBD adjustment is squarely the correct personnel action here IAW DoD FMR 7A Para 0101 - 0102.

You're getting paid for having 2 years of service time when you didn't serve those 2 years.
