Our BAS went up to $348.44. That's an extra $25 for bagels.

Re: S/O (Speaking Of) LESs
This website is mentioned in the notes at the bottom of my LES:

"Air Force wants you and your family to "set a goal, make a plan, save automatically" during Military Saves Week, Feb 19-26, 2012."
lol at more bagels.
This is what it sounds like when my tummy wants the rest of me to get up and go get more bagels for the morning. (NSFW)

LES related, Joe's FSA shows up as FSH (which we don't qualify for EVER since we have no dependents) and apparently now they prorate it. It's been two years since either of us had TDYs long enough to qualify for it, but I know for sure it used to show up as FSA and it was only in increments of $250. Either you're gone a whole month or you're not, and FSA is not FSH. I brought it to Finance and they insisted it's correct, but I still do not believe them that all LESs are like that. Can anyone with access to a TDYer's LES see if theirs says FSA or FSH and if it's in an increment of $250?
Last night I had half a can of soup at 2:30am so that I could go to sleep. I feel your pain.
On the TDY question, DH had a TDY that was over a month last year. If I get to see him for longer than 3 seconds any time in the next couple days I can ask to see some of his older LESs. Problem is I very rarely feel like they're doing his finance stuff correctly.
Edit: I got my years mixed up. I think DH's last TDY that was over 30 days was in 2010, so if the rules have changed then his LES wouldn't be any help.
I am with you on never feeling like they are never doing the finance stuff correctly because from past experiences...a lot of times they arent. It is so stressful when they try to rectify their mistakes too because it seems like they either have to take it all back at once or take $200 per paycheck for the next 30 years.
