Ok, so just talked to the guys at the bureau and they missed a couple of guys. What they are saying is that as a LT, once you screen for DH AND go over 10 years, you get the higher amount. You stay at the higher amount even after your DH tour, regardless of where you go next (on or off track). You also don’t have to be currently serving as a DH, CO, etc. Once you get the higher amount, you keep it until you FOSx2 for the next milestone, ie CO, or Major Command.
You might not have thought it was vague, but you misinterpreted it just the same. It should be written so that there aren’t questions about who gets it. I think thats called being vague? Maybe I’m just old? Sorry, not sorry.
If that is their intent then their message isn't vague, it is just wrong.
I can't see the breakdown yet on my latest LES but I am not seeing a pay bump either. Surprise... According to what you are saying I should be.
