But, when you do, you are supposed to get paid. Talk with your NCOs and make sure that your Direct Deposit has been submitted and to also submit a Pay Inquiry. That being said, if you are attending BTAs that is not of your unit and somewhere else with a different unit, then you need to ensure that there is a &quot;Reschedule For Training&quot; form properly filled out and submitted with a DD Form 1380. If these are not submitted, then there is no record of duties performed, and therefore, no pay will be issued. So, Step One is getting with your NCOs. By the way, this is ALWAYS Step One.

They are the ones that log that you were there for drill. But in an RSP they may not have one. I would just keep bugging him just about everyday until you get a date to which you will get paid. I have seen soldiers in the Guard be on active duty for training and not get paid for months. The National Guard stopped paying while I was in Ranger School. All I can really say is that I hope you enjoy what you will be doing. If not you aren&#39;t going to like. You are seeing how the Guard works most of the time when it comes to pay issues. I went the route of <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="57968" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/57968-msg-dan-castaneda">MSG Dan Castaneda</a>. I left the Guard and went back to the Regular Army.

They have a copy of it. That&#39;s what they&#39;re going to have to submit through the s-1 to your higher headquarters to make sure you get paid. The S1 will talk to the G1 in an email. You will get paid. I switch from the Army National guard to active duty in the National Guard then gone through the irr to get into the Army Reserve and they usually get the pay squared away quickly. There should be an E7 in the s-1 shop that should be able to take care of your pay problem.

Those are really the only three possibilities, so follow each in order until you find resolution. 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 26 Oct 2017 10:35:43 -0400 2017-10-26T10:35:43-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/i-m-a-new-national-guardsman-and-i-haven-t-been-paid-for-my-first-two-drills-my-recruiter-hasn-t-resolved-it-who-should-i-go-to-next?n=3035507&urlhash=3035507 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Use your chain of command.

There should be an RSP Sergeant or Drill Sergeant you can talk to about it. Your Recruiter won&#39;t be able to help with pay, they do assist with RSP but they have other duties. RSP is kind of like your introduction to what Drill will be like, it has a looser structure but there are admins in charge of finance, etc. It might even be a DA Civilain, mine was.

Dont go to your recruiter, your team leader is the one that you should inform and if that doesnt work notify your 1SG or your S-1. The S-1 should then have you fill out a paper and then they will take it to the Military Finance building on the base and it should then be taken care of.
