If I currently have 5 years enlisted, and obtain WO1, will I get payed as a WO1 with 5 years of experience? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/if-i-currently-have-5-years-enlisted-and-obtain-wo1-will-i-get-payed-as-a-wo1-with-5-years-of-experience <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Hopefully someone can square me away. I’m applying to WOCS and was wondering if my current TIS will transfer to new pay grade. So if I current have 5 years enlisted and obtain WO1 will I get payed as a WO1 with 5 years experience, or will it start over as WO1 0 years. Hopefully that’s not too confusing.

Think of it this way, when you got promoted to SPC, did your TIS change? No, only your TIG changes upon promotion.

I had almost 4 years TIS when I commissioned. I got paid as an O1 over 4.

Once you pass WOCS, you will be pinned WO1, then you will start getting paid as a WO1 with over 4 years TIS.

On the day that you are appointed at WOCS, you will be discharged from the Army as Enlisted and swear in as a newly minted WO1 with no ETS date. Instead, you will have a Mandatory Retirement Date, which is the last day of the month in which you turn 60. I have known Warrants that gotten two waivers and retired at 62, but this is uncommon. Incidentally, once you become a WOC you will get paid as an E-5 or your current grade, whichever is higher.
