I checked for applicable threads but there didn't seem to be any.
I recently changed from NCM to Officer. When I switched I was acting lacking in rank (missing last mod of a 2 mod course). At the time I did the change over I assumed that my pay would revert to my substantive rank and IPC (which would be a $400/mo drop, but I was fine with that).
Reviewing the CBIs however I am no longer so sure. From what I read:
From that I read that it would be the equal to whatever my rate of pay the day I changed (nothing about dropping back to substantive) or greater (ie the closest increment that is not less than). Obviously if I'm entitled to maintain my previous pay rate I'd much rather that. Do any of the administration gurus have info that can confirm one way or the either, or maybe if there is a directive that I'm not aware of?

204.04(3) (Rate of pay on promotion) Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), an officer or non-commissioned member shall be paid, on promotion to a higher rank, at the rate of pay established in the applicable CBI which is the greater of:
a.the basic rate of pay for the member's new rank and, if applicable, pay level and trade group; or
b.the rate of pay for the pay increment and, if applicable, pay level and trade group, for the member’s new rank that is nearest to, but at least equal to, the sum of the rate of pay the member was receiving on the day before the effective date of the promotion plus an amount equal to the rate of pay established for pay increment 1 minus pay increment Basic in the member’s new rank, but not to exceed the rate of pay for the highest pay increment in the new rank.
