I have really come to loving hate the word behoove. Every semiliterate dork in the Navy uses that word to sound smart. Thanks for triggering me Nwabudike Morgan.

so, i'm in the reserves, and i've been waiting for like 4 months doing weekly phone musters to check the status of my orders to be technically gained into the reserves and my intel unit here in SD, and I just got an email from the PS3 at admin with a bunch of attached PDFs i have to sign and email back to him saying that if i don't do these quick I can be adsepped.
first off, i'm confused cause I knew all this time i've been sitting waiting for my orders to be processed, being told that i haven't been gained and to call next week over and over, this sort of blind sided me
second off, maybe i should just get adsepped??

Nwabudike Morgan
Dec 31, 2007
i mean like, i guess i could just get adsepped and boogey on out of the navy with my top secret clearance, but that would feel like a pretty BM move.
does adsep carry the same negative connotations that OTH or DH does when applying for government/civilian positions?

edit: also one of the pdf's he sent me was an already filled out life insurance policy of an airman lol

ADSEPs can carry a variety of dismissal types as its just a separation process IIRC. Why don't you contact your LPO or whoever and make sure this ps3 isn't a retard?

I don't know anything about the reserves but have you not spoken to anyone in your chain about this? They'd have much more relevant information for you


Edit: Jesus you guys seem to get pretty bent out of shape over evals.

i basically don't have a chain of command. haven't got my bonus, haven't drilled, wanted to start IDW class but was told I won't be able to until i'm gained and am in a unit.
and then i was never gained, every week i called, still wasn't gained, then i got this email.

It seems you've hit an insurmountable obstacle. Looks like navy Intel might not be for you.

it's actually more surmountable than it seems. the way i see it i have 2 options:
1. do the paperwork and submit it and see where that takes me
2. don't do the paperwork and get out of the navy and 420 blaze it

Do you mean mobilization or actual permanent transition to active duty sailoring?

might as well mobilize imo get all the bennies of active duty for a 1-2 year period including GI bill credit/retirement credit & cash & healthcare and when you get back you can be like nah i dont wanna deploy for another two years, or maybe i do, cause im a reservist and have some choice

This. I'm too old to go active permanently but I'm good for active reserve or a mobilization.

once you check into your command and do indoc and get set up with NSIPS access you can change your status to volunteer and that will open you up to many opportunities to mobilize and go do some active duty time as a reservist. what's your rate again? cause if it's any kinda IDC we're kind of a hot commodity right now for mobilization

The speed that the Navy moves admin is sometimes terrifying, terrifying slow....

Still waiting for someone somewhere in the states to stamp my SUBDQ paperwork, so I can finally be released from the submarine community. But because it's taking so long, it's time to go back to "Fit for Full" and fend off orders until my force conversion is processed which can only happen once SUBDQ is finalized. I've also been the one driving this entire process, paperwork and all, I would hate for someone to actually have to rely on other people to finish this. Although I'm sure my current ECM will be happy to get rid of me(extremely overmanned), then after that it's time to poke ECMs for anyone that will take me, fighting for CTN, CT(Whatever) then IT, being a first class makes it kinda of pain in the rear end though. Any CT's willing to vouch for me?

tl;dr: the navy sucks at paperwork and it's own programs, no way a junior sailor could get though this without inadvertently loving himself over...

i seperated from active duty in december, and only now got indoc'd into my reserve command this weekend.

Yo. I still have all the RC to AC forms if that is what you're asking.

i heard going rc to ac is drat near impossible tho. also i dont see why not just mobilize, same bennies and points towards gi bill/retirement, and you have the option of just chillin at home and being a weekend warrior when you get back from mob

I will say it again; on active everyone I knew wanted out or to the reserves and in the reserves everyone one either wants to go active or mob. Complete 'grass is greener' syndrome.

from what i've seen this is super true. the only exception is the strange dudes who go from IRR to reserves

Nwabudike Morgan

NAVADMIN actually put out their thing recently of peeps they need to go active from reserves, and most of the intel rates were on there, including IS.
made me strongly consider putting in my active duty package but after consideration IDK why not just mobilize instead and get the best of both worlds
