Good afternoon yall,
I am an MS1 student and received an offer for the HSCP scholarship (3 year scholarship). I am a prior Navy officer with 8 years of active duty service. I was under the impression that as a prior officer I would receive E-7 pay, but my recruiter is telling me that since I am a civilian and I had a break in service where I was not on a reserve status, I will be treated as a new civilian accession and am only eligible to receive E-6 pay.
Ultimately, I do plan on accepting the scholarship regardless of this fact, but I will admit that I am a little disappointed. I know this is a very peculiar position to be in, but I was hoping someone might have gone through this same thing or might know of some literature that might help my cause. Thank you.
