If it were up to me, all CFRs would go immediately to 2Lt or even Lt. I felt embarassed for the CFRs that I was on SLT with, as they were only OCdts and were lumped in the same pile with us 18-19 year old ROTP types. I know they were getting their old pay rates, but the rank on their shoulder still was the same.
I understand that if DEOs had to take a pay cut and stay as an OCdt for a year or two that it would be very difficult to get them to enroll for pay reasons. I know I wouldn't go and re-enroll as a DEO if it meant that my pay would essentially be cut in half for several years. So perhaps they could stay as OCdts, but get payed on a different (higher) scale than OCdts that are going through ROTP. I keep refering back to it, but I don't like the idea of having DEOs who've barely even gotten their first pay because they've only been in 3 months already parading around as a 2Lt.
