I've lived in Wisconsin my entire pre military life, graduated High School there, driver's license, college, have always claimed State income tax there, etc. I currently own a home in Wisconsin. That being said, on my DD4 it lists my home of record as Illinois for some loving reason. At the time I was living in my car and I imagine the recruiter told me "Who cares, put your girlfriend's house or something.", and it looks like that's what I did. However, I never actually lived there at all. I'm on my way out and would much rather have Wisconsin's Veteran's benefits since they're loving amazing (free college, free college for dependents if over 30% disabled, I'll be at or above 50%). Everything I've read says that your HOR for enlisted can only be changed if you reenlist after one full day has passed, OR it was entered in error, with the burden of proof being on me (obviously).

Is it at all feasible that I can change my HOR? If so should I head to PSD to get it taken care of or contact Millington, and what would I need?

Having to wear NWUs on the regular now really blows.

Our office is in a building-wide SCIF and it's the only office from our command in the entire area of the base. So unless we have to go anywhere, have anyone come by us, or do something official I usually just come in and stay in civvies.

These last two weeks I've been in DC. NWU's are bullshit.

If you're anything but an E4, good luck going CTN. I've been fighting to cross over as an E5 and unless you're YG 08/09, there's hardly any billets right now and the few available take an interview with a CTNCS, NCC and a final talk with the TechAd. TechAd isn't even considering people without current IT certs or documented college with a CS/CYB degree plan. Not sure what it looks like for E6s though you could check CWAY for conversion-IR quotas.

CTN will swallow you faster than an E2 boot if you're an E4 though. Get a DUI and ask for reduction in rank :toot:

You're correct, you've probably read the MPM article for this.

quote:

a. A correction to the HOR (for officer and enlisted) may
be authorized in those instances when, through a bona fide
error, the place originally named at time of current entry into
the Service was not in fact the actual home. Any such
correction must be fully justified and the home, as corrected,
must be the actual home of the member upon entering the Service,
and not a different place selected for the member’s convenience.

b. Approval by NAVPERSCOM (PERS-312D) is required to
correct an erroneous HOR. Requests shall be submitted, via the
chain of command, to NAVPERSCOM (PERS-312D) for approval, and
must include sufficient documentary evidence to support the
member’s claim.

Get a written statement from someone in Wisconsin (parents?) that your correct address at the time of enlistment was actually the address they provide, and that the address you provided at enlistment was in error. Write a letter of your own (to PERS-312D) asking for your HOR to be changed, using your supporting letter as an enclosure. Call 1-800-U-ASK-NPC to get the correct POC for PERS-312D, either by mail, email or FAX. Send your stuff over to them and hope for the best!

Not only am I a corpsman, I'm also a lab tech. So, there are only 20 of us total in the fleet. And they're all PO2+, so I'm not going to get a ship. It would be pretty awful from what I'm told, so I'm content working 7-4 at a clinic somewhere.

I know this is a hella old post, but I was at TAPS and finding out the requirements for a Master's/Ph.D program I want to jump into.

If you end up wanting to make lab tech a career, or just earning extra money on the side, look up on Navy COOL or even with your instructors at the school for informatoin on the civilian certification. Some C Schools it's automatic like with Respiratory techs, but some of the other ones, like Psych and Surg techs, you have to challenge the civilian certification authorities' test. Being at a hospital, you have so much free time it's ridiculous. You might end up working shift work if there's an ER at the hospital you're assigned to.

If you need help navigating some of the Navy COOL stuff, I've done it before and could help you find information. It's a pretty straightforward process though.

What is the general consensus on the USMap program? I have avoided doing anything with it for the past 3 years, but if it is actually going to benefit me when I separate and get a Big Boy Career I might start logging hours. I remain skeptical but would like to hear an opinion without the usual COC spin.

Depends on what you're aiming for. Like with a lot of Corpsmen it's peddled as a program to get a nursing degree easily but in reality your hours are translated to some civilian job, so most corpsmen working a front desk end up just becoming a hospital administrator.

I've got a couple of US Maps certs. I have no idea if they're worth the paper they're printed on but they take so little effort to complete why not do it? I guess I can report back in like 8 months when I actually start sending resumes out.

Also thanks for reminding me, I need to go log hours for the past 4 months. :toot:

select your email certificate when using this, and make sure you're using IE for this, as much as it pains me to say so, sometimes chrome is hit and miss with the certificates for cac enabled websites.

The military lab tech program doesn't require an ASCP certification, but all of the classes we take in the program are graded and registered by George Washington University, so we get a degree, and there is time built in to the schedule to study for and take the civilian ASCP exam, and the Navy pays for it. I take it in July, and once I pass, I'll keep the MLT certification for ever. I don't want it to be a career, but it's a nice thing to have, just in case.
And I am going to capitalize on the free time I'll have to go to school, I'm going to squeeze every penny I can out of the Navy while I'm in.
