[QUOTE="helty, post: 10221290, member: 50299"] No, there's a common misconception that all full-time Guard members are AGR's. Reality is, MOST of us are federal employees, or as we call it "technicians". The majority of us get paid on the General Salary or Wage Grade pay scale. In other words, my military rank has absolutely nothing to do with what I get paid for the 40 hours a week I work. We're civilians during the week and get paid hourly or salary depending on our pay grade. Still wear the uniform and are held accountable to military standards, customs and courtesies. I did the math, and I make slightly more per year than the BASE PAY of an E-5. However throw in BAH, BAS and all the benefits active members are entitled to and its not even close. I even have to pay for my own medical and dental, which isn't all that bad bc I can choose my provider and not have to worry about some dental school reject in the Med Squadron stabbing me in the mouth. Now, when we deploy or support contingency ops, we're placed on Title 10 active duty orders and get compensated according to our military rank. [/QUOTE]
