If you mean allowances like HDIP parachute pay, they only apply to the units that are on jump status by MTOE. <br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="https://www.dfas.mil/MilitaryMembers/payentitlements/Pay-Tables/HDIP/">https://www.dfas.mil/MilitaryMembers/payentitlements/Pay-Tables/HDIP/</a><br /><br />Current compensation authorized by law. <a target="_blank" href="https://militarypay.defense.gov/Pay/Special-and-Incentive-Pays/Index/#305">https://militarypay.defense.gov/Pay/Special-and-Incentive-Pays/Index/#305</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default"> <div class="pta-link-card-picture"> <img src="https://d26horl2n8pviu.cloudfront.net/link_data_pictures/images/000/520/641/qrc/dfas_logo_small.png?1590969148"> </div> <div class="pta-link-card-content"> <p class="pta-link-card-title"> <a target="blank" href="https://www.dfas.mil/MilitaryMembers/payentitlements/Pay-Tables/HDIP/"> Defense Finance and Accounting Service MilitaryMembers payentitlements Pay Tables HDIP</a> </p> <p class="pta-link-card-description">The official website of the Defense Finance Accounting Service (DFAS)</p> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> LTC Jason Mackay Sun, 31 May 2020 19:48:18 -0400 2020-05-31T19:48:18-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/being-in-the-national-guard-will-i-get-an-increase-in-pay-for-completing-ranger-school-or-is-that-specifically-for-those-in-the-regiment?n=5956468&urlhash=5956468 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Contrary to the urban legends you may have heard in basic, there is no extra pay for completing ranger school. There is an automatic promotion to E4. But you’re national guard so it might be years till you get the chance to attend SFC Private RallyPoint Member Sun, 31 May 2020 20:00:09 -0400 2020-05-31T20:00:09-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/being-in-the-national-guard-will-i-get-an-increase-in-pay-for-completing-ranger-school-or-is-that-specifically-for-those-in-the-regiment?n=5956628&urlhash=5956628 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As SFC Boyd has stated is correct only thing you might get is whether or not your State National Guard has an Airborne unit or Special Forces detachment. Only one I’m aware of is the Long Range Surveillance Company in Indiana NG and their SF Detachment which are both airborne qualified units but still they don’t get the same as active duty jump status HDiP SGT(P) Private RallyPoint Member Sun, 31 May 2020 21:01:51 -0400 2020-05-31T21:01:51-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/being-in-the-national-guard-will-i-get-an-increase-in-pay-for-completing-ranger-school-or-is-that-specifically-for-those-in-the-regiment?n=5957022&urlhash=5957022 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you have the opportunity to attend Ranger school from basic, definitely DO IT! In the NG, you may never get the opportunity again. In my state (IL), we only get maybe one slot per year statewide, and they usually won&#39;t fill it because it&#39;s too expensive with pay, travel, per diem, and family sep (plus any recycles). Those that have been able to attend are either officers or E6+. CPT Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 01 Jun 2020 00:01:45 -0400 2020-06-01T00:01:45-04:00 2020-05-31T19:37:11-04:00
