Topic: Pay Scale Question.

[Grilo]

Hello, I am in the middle of the application process, awaiting my apt test, medical, and interview. I had a question about the pay scale that is posted. I will be a DEO MARS officer. Which category will I fall under for the officer recruit? There are two categories, ROTP or OCPT. I am just trying to do as they say and get things in order. If I can figure this out I can set up everything and not worry. This part is just not clear. I am ok with taking a pay cut for two months, I just want to budget what the pay cut is. Or do the DEO have a different  route and they just start where it says DEO?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I often wonder why we even bother.

Thank you for the later link. I searched DEO pay scale and that thread did not come up. But my question is also about BMOQ as well. Do DEO get paid that amount while going to basic or in the Officer Cadet section there is no DEO.

Thank you for your time.

You're paid as an OCdt until you finish BMOQ, then are commissioned and paid as per the other table for 2Lt and Lt.

If it's still the same as the DEO scale when I went through, it was OCdt until the end of Basic but then everything was retro-dated to date of enrollment.

Back then you had to take SLT between Basic and CAP, so add that to the odd injury on one of the four phases and not having the phases line up perfectly time wise meant some people were getting promoted to Capt right after getting to their unit because it had been three years since they enrolled.

I can only tell you my experience in just signing a DEO contract. They are just paying out at the ASLT DEO rates starting at the beginning of basic.  So they have stopped doing the retro pay at the end by paying as if you were ranked day 1 of basic.

But that is what my contract says.  As with all things your experience may be different.
