I have looked over DoDMR Vol7A and with the lack of help from my local finance people; I'm looking for some help with prior enlisted pay. I am ruffly 150 points short of prior enlisted points (I go for points because of being in the guard), but the way I'm reading the reg, it seems to me that once i get the points I will be entitled to the pay as long as i'm within the 0-1 to 0-3 pay grade. Is this true?
