It all depends on which pension scheme you're on.
If you're on AFPS05 then:
"Your benefits are based on your final pensionable pay – that is the greatest amount of pensionable pay you received for 365 consecutive days over the last three years of reckonable service."
If you're on AFPS75 then:
"Your benefits are based on your final pensionable pay – that is the greatest amount of pensionable pay you received for 365 consecutive days over the last three years of reckonable service." However, I seem to recall that if you have been only been in rank for one year, then your pension will only be a 1/2 of the way between your old rank and new rank if substantive, or 1/3 or the way if acting.
