As far as resigning to be a WO, would you lose your pay? I had a chief if my AMS class that said he would retain is highest pay (E-9) until his new pay grade surpassed his previous pay. If I recall correctly he said he would have to make O-3E before he made more than his E-9 pay. Also if you retire, don't you retire at your highest pay grade held?
