Soldiers Individual Pay Record

Is there anything that can be learned from an individual’s pay record?  Would a soldier be assigned to a unit/division based on where he enlisted.... would he stay with same unit for the duration of the war?


I have a pay record for a soldier from Conway, S.C. that I know enlisted April 29,1941, entered “foreign service” April 30, 1942 and was discharged June 1945 as a Tec5.

 

Is it strange that his pay entires stop at Feb 1944 but was’t discharged for another year?
 

The $2.60 insurance was increased to $6.50 in March 1943.  Would a promotion cause your insurance deduction to go up? 
 

I have no idea what the Compulsory allotment deductions could be.  There is a notation on the inside cover page:

Compulsory Allotment class “F” $22.00; plus additional pay for Foreign Service but no amount given - just a date.

 

Thanks for looking.
