Wow! I recall when I went from E-8, P-3, Sub Pay, Sea pay, Clothing allowance, etc to pin stripe W-1 Warrant and retaining my E-8 base pay under the saved pay clause! This was in 1967... Wife, June went back to work to help pay our bills! It was a big gamble that ultimately paid off when I was a able to go LDO and go back to submarine duty! Sometimes you have to take a chance? No regrets, as things ultimately worked out in my favor. As the old saying goes, "s**t house luck". I love it!
