I’m in Afghanistan and they are asking people to volunteer to stay longer over here, and I was wondering how long do you have to be in country before you get extended tour pay?

Last I knew it started in day 366 BOG. Combat stripes and combat pay go by calendar month, but that extension pay goes by the day. But that was also 7 years ago, I haven't had to worry about it since 2013. Since then I have had shorter deployments and then retired.

Wow, I haven’t heard about extended tour pau in a long time considering my last deployment was 19 months. I want to say it’s anything beyond 12 but I could be wrong.

Wouldn't normal tour of duty is six months? For we get two stripes for one year of combat tour of duty, one every six months.
