SSgt Ryan Jones 1788378 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have 4 years of prior service already. Now I am entering the coast guard as an E3 because I could not go in as E4. Now for the debt to income ratio will they go on me getting paid as an E3 with 4 years of service? Or paid as a new E3? 2016-08-08T13:41:59-04:00 SSgt Ryan Jones 1788378

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think you are asking if your time in, from prior service will count for pay purposes.. Yes?<br />if So then yes, your TIS, in total will be used for pay.<br />So you will get paid as an E3 with "over 4" years TIS 4 2,082.00 per month<br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.dfas.mil/dam/jcr:81e6bd2c-a106-461b-851d-c77c7066baa5/2016MilitaryPayChart.pdf">http://www.dfas.mil/dam/jcr:81e6bd2c-a106-461b-851d-c77c7066baa5/2016MilitaryPayChart.pdf</a>

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Prior service Army guy here. Your time counts for pay and retirement. Be forewarned...It also counts for High Year Tenure calculations.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Don't know why you had to take a bust...you should have called me first. Be that as it may, you will be receiving E-3 pay with four years of service. You should also be eligible to take the servicewides next year for advancement to E-4. What rate are you shooting for? But I see you are an E-4 already...why the E-3 concerns???

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Ryan, don&#39;t forget that any DEP and Reserve time also counts for pay. Your Recruiter should be front-loading you with all of this info.
