O-1e pay eligibility question. I've read FMR May 2020 but it's still a bit unclear. Does anyone have specific experience with this?

I am a Navy reservist enlisted E/6 switching to the Army active duty as an O-2. My reserve points total is 1,955 but that includes IDT/IDTT/ ADT / AT/ Deployments. Do all points count toward "e" pay when commissioning from a Reserve component to an Active Duty component? OR is it just my ADT / AT / Deployment points that will count towards the active duty O-2e pay? Again, I am a Navy reservist going active duty Army.

It does look like the updated DoD 7000.14-R Volume 7A Chapter 1. Para. 010203, rules have changed and you may be eligible. It does reference the calculation of service and state on page 1-11 must have 4 years and 1 day of active duty service.

Yes, .. does Annual Training points count toward AD time? Does ADT orders count toward the 1,460+1 point requirement? DoDFMR also had updates in May 2020 but the wording is still confusing.

Our opinions and interpretation of regulations don't really matter. Your documents will be reviewed and a determination will be made above our level. The only thing you can do right now is make sure your records are complete and your points are correct.

Opinions and interpretations are definitely irrelevant. I was hoping to grab the attention of people that have gone through the process or aware of the rules (as of 2020). It seems like I'll make the cut, but again...I've been told "no" a lot because the person making the decision at the lowest level didn't know the answer. Promotions/SLRP/OE pay ...

After doing more research and talking to my civilian counter parts (and the finance office), seems like the answer is yes. Reserve Soldiers with more than 1460 points prior to commissioning are eligible for E pay. Points include everything (even bad years). Verified this was the case with a 2LT in a local unit - with out bad years she had 1420, with bad years she had 1462 and she sates she is getting E pay.
