In April, we checked 46 soldiers under our system. I've reviewed all of the checks, and I've tallied the number of differences. Some of these are errors, and some are judgment calls. Here are the categories and the total number of differences for each category.
GRID Errors
MILIN?/MAR? - 11
Missing HH member - 8
Duplicate people - 0
Wrong person - 0
Other - 11
Inferred Relationships
Incorrect relationships - 10!

The total number of differences for all 46 soldiers is 357. This is 66 more differences than January, when we checked 41 soldiers. Some differences/errors affect the data more than others. If we checked other pensions, we'd probably find similar differences. Some mistakes are inevitable, but please pay close attention so that the number of errors can be minimized.
