Board Certification Pay - Air Force Reserve

[the_world_has_gone_mad]

Likely a very stupid question: Is Board Certification Pay only for AD or also for the reserves? If one is eligible as a reserve physician what needs to be done to actually get it? Primary AFSC is Flight Surgeon which I still require all the training, but I'm a board certified 'civilian' internist. Do I need to list the 'internist' as a secondary AFSC to become 'eligible' for the board certification pay?? Thanks so much!

At least in the Navy reserve, you need to be on active duty orders to draw BCP (and IP).

It is reserves and full time in the Army.

Yup USAR prorates all the AD special pays. You get 1/365th of the AD special pay ( board cert and specialty pay)for every 4 hours of drill.


Sucks to hear about the navy. I guess the navy thinks their snazzy white uniforms make up for not giving reservists special pays.
