TIS = Time In Service
2007-08-22 06:42:45 · update #1
Great answers so far thank you. I didn't think of so many possibilities when asking let me add a bit
start 8yrs AD then add 3 yrs Reserve wanting to go back to AD...how will that stand for promotion ?
would it be 11 yrs TIS E5?

No, TIS (for pay) is based on the calender years in the Reserves/Guard/Active Duty. Retirement pay however is based on the number of days/drills actively in uniform. That can get complicated.

Yes and no.
If a person moves from Reserve to Active Duty, their record is reviewed and a new TIS is determined. This is done for rank purposes most of the time to determine what promotion boards they go to. If the person does not transfer over, then it works the same.
Edit- Honestly, Im not sure how they caculate it. HRC will do that with some method they have. A Major in my unit just did it and he got about 1/4th of his reserve time added to his AD time to determine his new year group for promotion. Ill try to ask him next time I see him and see if it adjusted his retirement date as well.

Yes and No.........in the reserves you aquire points per drill weekends and those are used as far a retirement but for promotion they are the same as active duty for years in service/time in grade.
