I highly doubt that weekend passes will be had but if so don't drink and drive. Although they changed the rules when we left back in '12. Oh memories.

Oh, when you finally start a class don't be That Guy that gets hammered and shits on the floor of the cadre bathroom, then leaves it for one of the platoon TAC officers to find the next morning. Also, don't be That Guy who cheats on his wife with another candidate and then texts his (soon to be ex) wife death threats while she is talking to the CO about the special kind of shitbird that he was. When you go to your branch course, don't be the 2LT that picks up a GOMR for exceeding his pass mileage and gets caught because he thought drunkenly assaulting a cop was A Good Idea.

I hear that if you shoot the moon and receive a reprimand from everyone in your CoC up to the first GO you get an automatic promotion to O3 and you get to bang the post commander's wife.

This is me. Show up to drill, stand in formation, do work for civilian job/master's program for 8 hours, stand in formation, go home.

The NCOs have started to get mad at how informal I am. I've taken this to mean I'm behaving appropriately.

Maybe you staffers can shed light on this: how long do admin discharges take? Last time I heard from the Army was October-ish to sign my last OER.

Depends largely on how motivated your unit is to get you gone.

I was up for admin just as I hit my service obligation, and it was up in the air as to if I was getting sep'd or dropped to the IRR. After I cleared CIF the only contact I've had was to sign that OER. My address and contact info have stayed the same- doesn't HRC or somebody in the chain send you a letter if you're sep'd or switched to IRR?

I got a boatload of poo poo in the first few weeks after I got out, but that's enlisted. I would just call up HRC and ask what's up.

I went in seven years ago and didn't even take mine with me. They made everyone else turn theirs in in Reception. Dude walked up to drop his in the box and on the way back to his seat another one fell out of his pants leg. I can't imagine the rest of the cycle was easy on him.

Aren't they doing Foal Eagle about now or something? I kinda remember it happening around this time. Or someone raped another juicy/got stabbed by another local/ran over another little girl/attacked another protest group. What I'm saying is being under GO1 is just a thing that happens there. A lot.

This will be the first year where I've got my name on a rent lease; should I be calling someone in my unit about updating my BAH? I suspect that even for 2 weeks of AT that there's to be some semblance of compensation to be had. I'm single, if that's a 'you get nothing' detail. My first guess is that I should email my unit's Admin NCO during Not Drill, but I'd figure I would ask the thread first since you guys have a lot of experience.





e; later in april we're going on a 2 week mission to dump ammo that came back post deployment from a sister unit so I guess that would count too.

Sub-30 day orders award type II BAH, which is based upon a flat rate. If you're ordered to active duty over 30 days (which entitles you to full active duty benefits), you'll fill out a new BAH form with your address and everything.

Do I still need to tell someone in my unit I have a name on a lease for type 2 or is that automated and everyone gets it without much fuss?

Also we are (lol) scheduled for a 33 day JRTC rotation, the second one of two back to back rotations. I don't think that they will keep the days with NYC BAH for most of my Soldiers, but I could be wrong. What are the chances of them cutting it down to 21 days? Likely? Unlikely? This is after the first change in dates to support the mission.

The first one is 21 days

They should be putting them on actual active duty orders, but the process for it is somewhat complex so I doubt it's going to happen. It's more likely that they're going to throw them on back to back 29 day orders.
