Civilian Pay vs. Reserve Pay(What you get for your time) A Drilling LT with 6 yrs of service working 36 days/year earns $10,831 annually ($38/hour) plus a retirement at age 60! Justification: 36 days/year from the below: 24 drill days (48 drills ) + 12 annual training days = 36 days/year to secure retirement pay and medical benefits for member and family Assumption: LT comes off AD with 6 yrs 36 days x 14 years = 504 days, which equates to 2 years of total work to earn a retirement worth more than $1 million* *assuming member retires as a Commander (O-5) and collects retirement benefits from age 60 to 80
How easy is it to find a unit and work with my schedule? • There are Navy Operational Support Centers (NOSCs) and Reserve units throughout the country • If it is over 50 miles from a member’s home, the Navy pays for berthing during drill weekend • Flex drills/rescheduled drills are also available, which allows the Reservist to perform duties on a schedule that meets the needs of the Navy and the Reservist
What kind of work is there? • Officers will be given leadership assignments much like on AD and train with the supported command, alongside their AD counterparts: • Division Officer Tour • Department Head Tour • Command Tour (CO/XO) • Officers may work in their specialized designator using their specific warfare training, or they may fill a non-warfare specific job that allows a new experience and focus more on staff work, research, ground job experience, etc.
