Does your 09R time count towards time in service in the Army? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/does-your-09r-time-count-towards-time-in-service-in-the-army <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am currently a 14S. I’ve done Basic and AIT. I want to go to college and commission through ROTC and go AD. I know Officer Candidate(Cadets) obviously does not count for TIG when being considered for promotion, but what about my ALL TOGETHER TIS? For example I have one year now, and I do four in college. Does that mean I now have 5 Years time in service because I am a cadet but am prior service?

It should be based on your Pay Entry Base Date (PEBD) on your Enlisted Record Brief (ERB).

If you are an ROTC scholarship cadet you will receive no credit towards any time in service.

If you end up doing Title 10 orders what we call MPA and you guys call OPADOS or COADOS orders, that time should count. Your time in basic and AIT will count as that was under title 10 active duty orders. If you are participating in the unit as a regular or SMP, that time does count toward your time service brackets for pay but not for active retirement unless its title 10 ADOS duty, which I would be surprised if an SMP would be able to get. You would be an O1E in the 4 year bracket until the next year where you would roll over to the 6 year pay bracket.
