Zeris posted:I got a call from an officer accessions recruiter a few days ago. She told me they had done exactly that with my remaining 2 years - failed to transfer me to IRR - and asked if I was interested in some exciting positions for my intel background...yep. Anyway, I already ran through my IRR obligation time period so it doesn't matter. Remember that officers serve indefinitely. So even if your IRR obligation time is up, you're still in the IRR until you transfer back to a TPU/IMA position in the Army Reserve or formally resign your commission.

Is this the case for like 90 year old dudes who just sorta forgot about the Army entirely and never resigned their commission?

You're assigned a mandatory removal date, so they do kick you out eventually, but otherwise pretty much. You can keep getting promoted and even retire in the IRR if you earn enough points.

I think I'm just not going to go to drill this weekend. I lose money vs working (I work Thu-Sun 1300-0100) and there is a very real chance I'd be held over until well past whatever we do in the morning. Often I don't get off until 0600 or so.

Just RST instead and provide a good reason. That usually works with my unit.

Seriously, yellow ribbon (I don't even know what that is exactly) shows as being squeezed in on Sunday afternoon, with normal drill sat and Sunday. This isn't even my normal unit (I was pulled from my home unit) and they haven't released me back. gently caress this I'm not going.

Now, the moment that you show up for drill, you have to start again. Tell them thanks, but no thanks. And refer them to JAG if they complain.

So uh, what's going on with infantry and armor branches, as far as officers are concerned. Got to talk to some LTC's and COL's at a social this week and apparently going to IBCTs or SBCTs doesn't mean we're going scouts, we could also become infantry platoon PL's. Make's ABOLC's focus on tanks that much weirder with the fact that only maybe 15 in my 80 person class are going to ABCT's, and they could end up as scouts too anyway.

hahahaha, that sucks. I know that on the enlisted side, tankers are commonly used as scouts and infantry, scouts can be used as infantry, but going the other way never seems to really work out. Tanks are just a hateful beast, and if you know your way around one, jumping in a Stryker or Bradley is not a problem that 5 minutes of orientation can't fix. as for officer side, well, I think you just got hosed because there's a lot of you hanging around. Earlier this year they were giving captains their orders to gently caress off by the fistful and there was never a shortage of fresh o3s to fill their place.

actually come to think of it out of the 4 COs we had in 2 years only the first 1 was armor. The rest were infantry, one even coming from ranger bat.

I'm just glad I'm going to an SBCT instead of an IBCT. And my brigade being at Fort Lewis helps too. Still, I'd rather end up in a scout platoon than an infantry platoon. The biggest difference I've noticed between armor and infantry LT's here at Benning is that there are way more motards in IBOLC.

That's why im gone, garrison army was the most awful thing I ever experienced, i didnt know until later that deploying overseas back-to-back was actually a blessing.. I didnt have to deal with that regular army dick sucking/riding/swallowing that is ADA/Support/ or pretty much any other type of combat unit not training to move down range for my first contract and a half. It only took 6 months of mind numbing powerpoints and loving organized PRT (LOL, like who thought that was a good idea) before I got hemmed up just for plain old bureaucratic cock riding bullshit. I was literally shielded from some of the worst of the Army for so loving long just because I got lucky and got those 25U slots in group. I talked to E3-E4s who did all 4 of their years at Ft.Hood in some ADA/support hell even some of those CAV units and I felt so bad for all of them because I dont think they got to experience the good parts of the army, looking back, I sure as hell did. Those other units I dont know how guys even make it through their first contract, I know I wouldnt have, no loving way. all apologies fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Aug 31, 2015 |

They've spread the yellow ribbon events out all the way to October, in what the training calendar shows are 4-hour chunks the afternoon of the sunday of drill, and then are saying that we have to show up saturday (or, in October's case, it's a 4-day field lane training event with yellow ribbon on the last day at the armory, so the 3 days prior) for normal drill and do drill stuff because the entire weekend or MUTA 8 is classified as a yellow ribbon event and those are required because yellow ribbon is a "soft" event (?). Man I don't even loving know anymore.

Are you reserve or guard? Yellow Ribbon events are supposed to be a 3 day TDY with your family arranged by your RSC or whatever the guard equivalent of an RSC is. It's not a drill event. e: Either way I'd file an IG complaint because they're forcing you to do drill activities under the pretense that it's a yellow ribbon event, which defeats the purpose of a yellow ribbon event. psydude fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Aug 31, 2015 |
