(2) CONSECUTIVE TOURS EXAMPLE: SAME MARINE FROM THEPRE-1 OCT 2014 EXAMPLE ABOVE IS PERMANENTLY REASSIGNED TO A SECOND TOUR OF RECRUITING DUTY (8411 BILLET) IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE FIRST TOUR. THE MARINE WILL CONTINUE TO RECEIVE SDAP LEVEL- 6 (PRE-1 OCT 2014 LEVEL) FOR THE ENTIRE TOUR.

AFTERWARDS, THE MARINE IS PERMANENTLY REASSIGNED TO DRILL INSTRUCTOR DUTY AS THE SGTMAJ OF RECRUIT TRAINING BATTALION(8999 BILLET). THE MARINE HAD A BREAK- IN-TIME BETWEEN SDAP BILLETS. AS A RESULT, THE MARINE WILL RECEIVE THE 12-MONTH INTRODUCTORY SDAP LEVEL- 1 AND, AFTER 12 MONTHS IN THE BILLET,THE MARINE WILL RECEIVE SDAP LEVEL-2.

MARINE WILL RECEIVE SDAP LEVEL- 5 WHILE ASSIGNED TO THE 8412 BILLET. THE 12-MONTH INTRODUCTORY SDAP LEVEL- 4 IS WAIVED. HOWEVER, HAD THIS SAME MARINE BEEN PERMANENTLY REASSIGNED TO A NON-RECRUITER BILLET FIRST AND THEN TO CAREER RECRUITER DUTY, THE 12-MONTH INTRODUCTORY SDAP LEVEL- 4 WOULD APPLY. THIS WAIVER OF THE 12-MONTH INTRODUCTORY PAY LEVEL SHALL NOT BE APPLIED TO ANY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE.
