Officers have separate pay grades, O-1E through O-3E, for those who start their commissioned service after at least four years of enlisted service. The military has a W-1 paygrade for warrant officers, but all Navy warrants start their commissioned career at W-2. A chief with 12 years of active duty who gets picked up for warrant will receive a monthly base pay increase of $642. All this translates to much more money at retirement, too. As an E-6, a sailor can only stay for 20 years and as a chief, 24 years. But when you switch to officer, you can serve longer â for huge retirement benefits. For example, an E-6 who stays in and retires as an E-8 at 26 years â the longest he can stay on active duty â would get about $3,313 each month in retirement pay.
There is no promise of 20 years for an officer. An officer must be promoted to reach 20. There is mandatory retirement after 30 commissioned years (a person with 10 years enlisted could stay for 40). To go beyond 30 years of commissioned time one would have to be promoted to Flag rank (General or Admiral). So, in the Army you'll need to make Lt. Col to stay for 20 with no prior enlisted time.
