DOD officials wanted the system to be used across the services. Right now, the Army has alternatives, but it s not just an Army system, it s owned by DFAS, said Capt. Tom Artis, an Army headquarters spokesman. Until we have time to confer with them, once we get a chance to look at the conference report, we re not going to comment. Ed Braese, a DFAS spokesman, said the agency had no comment about the DJAS funding cut.
Officials continue to talk with lawmakers to revive the system s funding.
