I am Navy reserve going Active Duty Army. What documentation is needed to request "e" pay when commissioned? My goal is to have my documentation from the Navy BEFORE losing access to the Navy website/Navy record. Right now I have my DD 214's and my ARPR/ASHOSH point sheet.

They will use a DA form 1506. I used it when I transitioned. As stated it is your active duty points that will get you the E status. I am an O-3E for my prior service when I was enlisted. You need four years of active service. Four reserve years will not qualify you.

What makes up active duty points? active duty can be ADT/ADSW/mobilizations.. some ADT can be 5 days long... Does annual training county I ask because on my point sheet it falls under ADT / AT column ... ADT is a form of active duty like ADOS/ADSW/et cetera.
The guidance doesn't really spell it out like that

1LT (Join to see) - Points and years have already been mentioned.
Now......... on the UPSIDE, you will top out the salary tiers for each grade by TIME IN SERVICE alone, you just wont get to go above it with "E". You'll probably catch up at CPT, so it mostly only impacts your LT years.

I was 90 points short myself. So I'm sensitive to the topic.

CPT (Join to see) - well, I've noticed when it comes to "government" regulations there are a lot of people that don't understand the regulation or aren't aware of the specifics and a "no" response is much easier to give than the right answer or justification on why a SM wouldn't qualify. Either way I'm currently on ADT orders , so a day for a day type deal and it MAY get be to the 1461 mark before the commissioning in June. Here's to hoping.

unless things have changed, you must have served 4 years active service enlisted in order to qualify for "e" pay. most of your time in the reserves will not count towards "e" pay.

E-Grade is based on ACTIVE years. More specifically, you must have a minimum of 4 Active years to qualify for E-grades. Reserve years and Active years do not equate on a 1/1 ratio.
DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 7A, Chapter 1
Creditable Prior Enlisted Service.
Commissioned officers in pay grades O-1, O-2, or O-3 who are credited with over 4 years (i.e., at least 4 years and 1 day) of prior active service as an enlisted member are entitled to the special rate of basic pay for pay grade O-1E, O-2E, or O-3E.

Does AT count as Active time? There have made changes as of May 2020...and some reservist HAVE received E-grade pay based on a mix of their time in. It's a little more of a gray area than your copy/pasted paragraph

1LT (Join to see) - You need to know how many retirement points you've received thus far to do your conversion. Reserve service is “converted” to active service by dividing retirement points by 360.
Example: 7200 points divided by 360 = 20 years of active duty service

Eric and others are correct in that the "active" days on your ARPR count. No drill, IDT, correspondence, service academy, ROTC, etc. counts. See you're targeting 1461, which would be correct. It wasn't always the case in hitting 1461. In my day, hitting the "4 good year" mark of reserve affiliation was enough. I had about 2 1/2 years of active total at that stage. Now that didn't stop the S-1 from mucking up the entry paperwork and having to get a BCNR to correct the error. It also didn't stop the next S-1 from refusing to cut a check because "No LTJG should have that money at once." Think that was my one and only CO's Request Mast in my career. Had the check the next day. Almost as much fun as a Federal Arrest Warrant on me for refusing to report after I pulled a Draft Number of 2. Happened to be on a tin can off 'Nam at the time. Wish I had a recording of my Mom sending the Marshals packing. You buy a ticket for the show when she'd go into MOM MODE.
