And in some cases, someone with an identical pay grade AND rank may still outrank others who hold the same. But the positional authority means one individual has more clout in the chain of command. The pay grade and even the rank remain the same. The authority does not. One nuance of the pay grade system is that there is NOT a single rate of pay for each individual grade.
No matter if you are an E-5, which is a non-commissioned officer rank for enlisted members, or an O-3 a Major or any other rank, the O-3 rate of pay is determined by both the grade itself but also the amount of time the service member has spent in that grade.
In some cases, there is a pay increase after you have spent one year in that grade, in others there may be a pay increase after two years spent in the grade.
It is tied to your rate of pay at the rank you currently hold. Time in grade is a pay factor for both officers and enlisted members but one thing you should know is that at some point TIG pay increases stop. You will find a correlation between the time these pay increases stop and the expected career progression of a military member at that rank. What does this mean? Summer school grades are used in calculating the GPA.
Audited courses and courses repeated for review will not count for credit but will be included in the scholastic average.
Athletics does not count in the GPA. The sample GPA is The 4. The valedictorian and salutatorian shall be selected at the end of the second semester of the senior year. The valedictorian and the salutatorian shall be the two graduating seniors with the highest rank in class weighted grade point average.
To be eligible, a student shall have been enrolled in the District for the entire last three semesters prior to graduation. To qualify for valedictorian or salutatorian, the student must graduate in no more than, or fewer than, four years. In case of a tie, for classes who enter ninth grade in and thereafter, the following method shall be used to determine who shall be recognized as valedictorian or salutatorian:. Compute the weighted grade point average to the maximum number of decimal places in the District computer system to break the tie.
While it may take time to figure out what everything means, here are some of the terms you may want to know:. Insignia: Service members wear an assortment of emblems on their uniform to denote rank.
These emblems include chevrons, bars, oak leaves or stars, and can typically be found on the shoulder or collar of the uniform. Pay grade: There are administrative classifications designed to equalize pay across the military service branches.
Each pay grade is represented by a letter and a number. To me, then, the Lt Col would have a higher rank due to higher grade however the Group Commander, as a lower rank Major , still has a higher position of authority due to their broader responsibilities within the org, and going "up the chain" ALWAYS involves going to the Major first, then to the Wing Commander, even though going up the the next rank would skip over the Major and go directly to the full Colonel.
So I'm still unclear what this "higher level in the chain of command" should be called, as it does not appear to me, as I try to understand the manual that rank or grade equate directly to position in the chain of command. Boy am I confused. Capn Super. Grade and rank as described in Leadership And Beyond Second Edition does not account for position based authority trumping earned grade and or rank This is for the most part just the result of the way things are in most CAP units where cadets and seniors can and do hold positions of authority without regard for grade and rank.
Mike Johnston. Unit: Smoots Logged. The term you seek is "Positional Authority". The command structure allows this, because the Squadron Commander is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the Wing Commander. The commander is the boss, regardless of grade or rank. To back up what Major Bowles just said. We are a training program. We enter into situations that you would very rarely encounter on active duty.
The good captain has got his time in the hot seat and has learned enough from that job. Now it is time for Lt DDD to get that experience.
