Per OPNAV INSTRUCTION 7220.15, "Continuous Submarine Duty Incentive Pay (CONSUBPAY) is designed to be paid to active duty naval service officers and enlisted personnel who engage in and remain in the submarine service on a career basis. Most submarine personnel are eligible for CONSUBPAY. Individuals receiving CONSUBPAY may not receive OPSUBPAY at the same time. Staff Corps officers are not authorized to receive CONSUBPAY.
For the purposes of this instruction, "submarine" includes commissioned submarines, new construction submarines, submarines undergoing overhaul, conversion or decommissioning, off crews of two-crew submarines, auxiliary research submarines, deep submergence rescue vehicles, manned submersible research vehicles, and operational submarine detachments assigned to submarines or manned deep submergence vehicles.
Upon transfer from a submarine to a non-submarine activity, an enlisted member's CONSUBPAY will automatically stop if their obligated service (OBLISERV) does not incur a minimum of at least 14-months past the Plan Rotation Date (PRD) at the subsequent command. If otherwise eligible, CONSUBPAY will be restarted any time during the non-submarine activity tour when the PRD plus 14-month obligation requirement is incurred."
