Does Officer Candidate School time count towards severance pay calculation?

If I understand correctly, OCS in other branches is akin to our Basic Officer Leadership Course (Army). If this is the case, my BOLC training did count towards my separation pay.
What didn't count toward my pay was the time spent in what is called the Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) (medical school at civilian institution). While this might sound obvious why it wouldn't it does seem odd to me because technically I was a commissioned 2LTall during school. Received 2LT pay and everything. But I checked with our TransProc folks and they were firm that time in HPSP did not count towards AD time towards severance pay. If anyone knows something different, please let me know. That was 3 years and would dramatically affect my severance pay

Not sure I understand the above. I did end of completing my service obligation, and so it seems that my years of service should actually go towards my severance pay time computation. However, when I was selected to serve in select reserve I only accrued 45 points, not 50, so therefore I do not qualify. Does others read this the same way?
