I saw an old post about Subs from 2007 on an old dead thread that mentioned this:
"The biggest problem, I think, with having to deal with this right now is there is apparently a shortage of EM and ET sub vols. So much that they are starting to offer sub pay back pay all the way to boot camp for anyone who signs up today."
I have a question about nukes in the pipeline today who are submarine volunteers. My son enlisted in December, 2010 and is an ET now and is halfway through nuclear power school. He enlisted as a sub volunteer i.e. signed the sub vol form the day they swore him in at MEPS before he left for boot camp.
Does anyone know what is the current policy for retroactive sub pay? From using the search function apparently the retroactive date calculation has changed over the years. I have seen other threads that mentioned it was paid back to day one of NFAS. Assuming he gets picked for subs after prototype will the submarine pay be paid retroactive all the way back to his enlistment date? Or is is some other date? Thanks in advance.
