While we do not count "add-ons"like the BAH and BAS (housing and subsistence allowaflces) your military time counts as federal service, so management looked a your base militmy pay and awarded you the next hi* h e pay (not figuring in locality pay). The next higher base pay is the W-2 level (base of $129,520). We then adjust that for I d i t y pay at the U-2 level, Arlington locality rate ($164,620). Please let me know if you am in acceptance of the U-2 salary offer and your appointment as an Immigration Judge for the Arlington Immigration Court. Once I receive your reply we can discuss further the Entrance on Duty (EOD) date for the position. Thank you and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any additional questions, I Ioll!. R.
