Financially ( in reference to short term), you would be better off staying enlisted. You would probably be taking a pay cut and wouldn't be able to retire as an officer (not like it would matter) unless you do 10 additional years.
You do realize why everyone calls you an idiot right? Take this for example. I explained to you last time how the change would work, in how if you enlist and your paycheck was bigger as an NCO than an officer you would
continue to make the higher amount until it catches up. I didn't even hint at it, I explained just like that in small words exactly. The only time you get a pay cut is if you are charged with an article and/or are demoted, and even when demoted chances are no one wants to do the paperwork so you continue making the same change anyway. As far as retirement, it doesn't change either because it's based on time of service, and has nothing to do with rank. You can retire as an E3 once you've done 20 years active. The only difference is the size of the retirement check. What was it, four years and you still don't know any of this? ****, I learned all about my paycheck while I was still in boot camp.
It's not even having to explain things to you, it's having to do it multiple fu
cking times and your inability to internalize it.
