When does flight pay begin?

[klray77]

Well now that I am newly commissioned I have a question about flight pay. My designator is 1395 but I will not be reporting to API for at least another year. Will I still receive flight pay?? Or will it only kick in once I get to Pensacola? Thanks all.

Should start the first day of ground school for primary. At least that's when mine started back in 94.

So I take it that I shouldn't expect it while I'm in Dayton, OH for grad school?

The day your orders kick in for duty invovling flight ops (primary orders to whiting, corpus, or wherever). .you'll get ACIP

If you are stashed at the wing prior to starting you won't get flight pay until you actually check into your VT squadron. (Just to clarify what Rainman said.)

Ken...is that the new time to go to API now, 1 YEAR or do you have special circumstances?

 

[klray77]

I ahve special circumstances I guess you could say. I'm reporting to AFIT at Wright-Patterson AFB for a year to get my master's before reporting to API.

ahhhh yes. . when I went through there was no wing stash (woohoo). For Marines it will start whether you're wing-stashed. .as long as you have your orders to primary (not MATSG21 stashed). . if that makes sense .

klray77,
I have a question,I was wondering what type of program is this that you get to wait a year for api to pursue your master's and do you still get paid by the navy? Could you pleas explain because I am really interested in it. I report to ocs on september 6 and my major is aeropsace engineering and I am highly interested in trying to get my masters.
