I have 12 years TIS with the Army Reserve. I've only spent 8 months on active orders in 2010 for a mobilization. I'm considering OCS and remaining with the Reserves, but am curious the numbers involved.
Will I receive O1E pay while at OCS? Will the O1E pay status take into account my 12 years TIS as a reservist?
Need a little help!

You will receive e5 pay at 12 years of service. Upon completion you will be paid at O1 pay at 12 years. You only get O1E if you have 4 years of ACTIVE service prior to commission. Hope that helps!

I am pretty positive they will pay you by your latest rank. You won't get O1-E in OCS because you are not an officer yet.

In the guard and reserve it's all about the points. I dont recall how many exactly, but I got O1E with my points (18 yrs). When you start the OCS prep program (if the reserves have one) you will be paid as an E5. When you begin Phase 1 of OCS you will be promoted (on paper) to E6.

DO you know how a unit actually goes about processing your pay for O1E? It's been a year and a half, and nobody seems to know what to do.
