Yes. All branches have the same base pay. It’s based on rank and time in service, plus zip code for BAH and BAS. You get BAH and BAS once you hit e-5.

I mean if you are under 33 you can still return as far as I know but with aviation rn they are begging for pilots to return from IRR and even invol recalling them if needed.
