Pay Grades

[wink]

I think the 3.5 gpa thing is the new contract. Changed because of the inequities mentioned under the old contract. It certainly has nothing to do with location, as long as we are talking the about United States Navy.

If you have not made E-5, you will get that when you show up to OCS, not when you graduate.

You get E-5 when you graduate college...or atleast I did. I don't know what your contract says.

If you have 4 years active and 2 years BDCP will you qualify for O1E pay?

If you have 4 years + 1 day, you get O-1E regardless of BDCP. I don't know how BDCP factors in to that equasion, but it's worth talking to PSD about it.

If you have the time in service under BDCP for O-1E than you will get it regardless of being BDCP or enlisted.

I wasn't paid E-5 until showing up at OCS 2 months later. Talked to my recruiter back then cause I thought I should have been, but he said that was the way it was.

Did you get backpaid? It never happens when it should...you know. If not, you got screwed.

Yeah man, I got screwed bad. Keeps me up at night.

At my school, you weren't eligible for Dean's list unless you were a full time student. Summer sessions required 9 credits to be full time, so that may have something to do with it.

I was at 12 credits. My contract says specifically 3.5 to consecutive semesters. My recruiter has asked up his chain of command, but they told him no. What should I do? I do not want to piss off a bunch of people but I feel I am entitled to the raise.

That happened to me. The BDCP contract said that I needed to be on the Dean's List. I had the 3.5 GPA for two semesters in a row but did not qualify for the list. I was in a full time status (min 12 hrs/semester) but my school's Dean's List policy required a minimum of 15 hours. It was frustrating, and I did not get the raise.
