BENEFITS
Some benefits the member earns by being a Naval

advancement.
Pay
Reservists assigned to a drill pay billet receive 1
day’s basic pay for each drill satisfactorily performed.
The minimum period for a drill for pay purposes is 4
continuous hours. Reservists perform two drill periods
a day totaling four drill periods during a drill weekend.
Some programs, such as Naval Reserve Force ships,
special boat units, and aviation squadrons offer
opportunities to perform additional paid drills. Full pay
and allowances, except VHA, are earned during annual
training (AT) performed in a pay status. Members
under duty in a flying status involving operational or
training flights (DIFOT) orders may also earn aviation
career incentive pay during both drill and AT periods.
Also, other hazardous duty pay, such as diving and
demolition, may be earned during AT. Information on
types of drills are contained in the Administrative
Procedures for Naval Reservists on Inactive Duty
BUPERSINST 1001.39.
Computation of Drill Pay
Drill pay is computed on the basis of the member’s
paygrade and length of service. The monthly basic pay,
as applicable, is divided by 30 to provide the daily pay
a member receives for each drill completed. The
training category of the member determines the number
of authorized drills for which a member may be paid
during the fiscal year.
Computation of Annual Training Pay

days after discharge are entitled to a new issue of
clothing, if the prior issue is no longer serviceable.
Additionally, unserviceable clothing items may be
exchanged for new on a one-for-one basis while
