In total, along with his basic and deployment pay, he could be entitled to more than $300,000.
But the Army has not calculated that pay yet, a G-1 spokesman told Army Times, because the legal proceedings since his homecoming in 2014 have put that in limbo.
“Based upon the results of trial, the Army is reviewing Sgt. Bergdahl’s pay and allowances,” Lt. Col. Randy Taylor told Army Times. “His final pay and allowances will be determined in accordance with DoD policy and Army regulation.”
Those policies and regulations require the Army to wait for Gen. Robert Abrams, the commander of Army Forces Command and the convening authority in this case, to approve the sentence that was handed down to Bergdahl, an Army official, who was not authorized to speak on the record, told Army Times.

I have thought about this and have come up with a theory with the aid a SFC William Hawes post. We don't boot him out of anything, however, we bust him down to E1/E0. The catch is he does not wear a uniform. He stays in until the day that he travels to the other side, in case wherever that might be. But until that day, he works as the bad guy where they train attack dogs and handlers, maybe even where docs train to treat gunshot wounds. Y'all get the picture.

I like where you are going, LTC Shearer. Try this: his privilege is staying in the US of A and all that that would entail. He does not deserve that. Even Gitmo is too good for him. I think a deportation order to Afganistan might work.

All pay and allowance should be given to charities that support wounded vets. He should be fluffer in the male porn industry!

I am voting for the 1st sentence for wounded
vets because I don't know what a fluffer is.
vets because I don't know what a fluffer is.
