I am on active duty in the Navy and just learned about continuation pay (after being in for 10 years!). I opted into the BRS a good while ago and my EAOS is September of 2026. I joined in April of 2014.
If I were to transition to the reserves from active, would I still be able to get the continuation pay bonus? I planned on transitioning to the reserves incentive bonus for prior service members.

No, you’ll need to obtain 4 years of retainability to get continuation pay.
If you transfer to the reserves while eligible for CP, you could probably get the Reserve CP.
Yes. I transferred to the Reserve Component at my 10y mark and received CP within a year after transferring.
