Calculating years of experience into commissioned pay?

A great reference for future input is DODI 7000.14-R: paragraph 010203 A.6. Creditable Service for Certain Commissioned Officers. Effective November 24, 2003, the restriction that members must be paid from reserve appropriated funds to qualify for the special rate of basic pay for pay grades O-1E, O-2E, and O-3E based upon creditable service points is eliminated. Therefore, effective that date, commissioned officers in pay grades O-1 through O-3 with more than 1,460 points computed under 10 U.S.C. § 12732(a)(2) for service as a warrant officer and/or an enlisted member are entitled to the special rate of pay. So some individuals may have a blend of AD points to include deployments, etc., that would greatly reduce the 12-year “normal” timeframe.

MAJ (Join to see) Good reference. Thank you.

No, thank you. One of my direct commissionees has a good back-and-forth with our MILPO over whether he was entitled to the additional pay based on points. Needless to say he won the debate and several other officers were identified as being entitled to the same and there was a huge pot of money set aside to pay the debt of service to those individuals. I think we keep each other on our toes and in sharing regulatory guidance, we can extend the helping hand a bit further than before. Take care, brother. 1LT (Join to see)

Copy. In reviewing my reserve time, I lie roughly 200 points below the threshold for the “e” rank, however it looks like I’ll obtain some benefit from my reserve time. Thanks for the correct information, as I can see it is easy to misinterpret and I want to make sure Service Members are getting their dues.
