Hello thread,
So I received my retirement brief today and was told something that may or may not be accurate and I hope this helps others out.
I have 20.5 Guard Years for pay
I have 13.3 years of active service within those 20.5 years.
I was told today that my High 36 will be calculated not off of my 20.5 years, but off of the 13.3 years.
so 2019, 2018, and 2017 pay charts I would have to reference my pay grade at what it would have been with 13 years of service in 2019, 12 years of service in 2018, and 11 years of service in 2017.
As you can guess this is a rather significant change. When I went through the soldier transition program all three instructors had us, all in the same situation, use our total years and not our active duty points to calculate high 36.
Which way is the correct way?
