When is a Sailor entitled to Perstemp Pay?

Explanation:
Perstemp Pay is an allowance tied to extended, uninterrupted time at sea. You become eligible only after you’ve completed a lengthy spell at sea—the point at which the Navy recognizes the deployment as long enough to qualify for this extra pay. Because it’s designed for long-term sea duty, shorter periods at sea don’t qualify, while the longer valid stretch does. That’s why the correct choice is the option that reflects reaching that extended sea-duty threshold. Once you pass that threshold, Perstemp Pay begins for the period you are at sea and typically ends when you return to port.
