Coming in way late to the discussion but maybe dick burglar would be interested in CA/PO in the Army Reserve. That or team rubicon. In CA we do a lot of work with the state department overseas and deploy a lot to do aid, but there is a selection process for officers and they want you to do time as an officer in a line unit first. Although he could do something like AG or MI first then switch over. Also we do have flight spots in the reserve and the O slots are highly dependent on where you are. For instance if you were in Near NYC there are a ton of TC or QM spots that are dying to take any officer.

Dick Burglar posted:I appreciate the information, but I'm not sure what any of those abbreviations mean. If you could clarify that, I'll certainly look into it. Also I'm basically on the other end of the country from NYC--I'm in Austin, Texas. We have CA- Civil affairs units all over the states and europe. Civil affairs is primarily concerned with helping local civil governments and people through problems like water shortages, or setting up schools. Think of us as small scale diplomacy. We deploy very often(constantly) compared to the regular reserves and regular Army and this is a specialty that is 95% in reserve strength. To become a CA officer they want you to do some time in a regular unit and then transfer over to the Ca pathway at CPT. We also have I think 9 specialty officer MOS-es in the 38G MOS that is army reserve officer specifically and only and similar to a warrant officer position in that it used you experience. Also: deploy without ACUs! If you are a 38A qualified Officer you will be asked to do Army stuff constantly like go overseas to places like 🇮🇹 or other coalition countries. In Psyops you have the same officer career progression come to PO as a 1LT and they deploy less but it’s a very special field as well. Think advertising and mind games for the Army. Both are under special operations so play by different rules and get nice stuff that you wouldn’t expect but they are definitely in the SF vein or small teams.

Godholio posted:There's almost certainly a commitment for SLRP; if his contract is terminated prior to his completion of the commitment, it's gone. This is how they treat GI Bill transferability. Unless the SLRP is part of the commissioning and contingent upon becoming an Officer in a certain MOS, like mine would have been had I not taken the bonus.

Vahakyla posted:I opted into BRS, but my TSP.gov show that my matching contributions are to Traditional balance. My own contributions are to a Roth, so is there a way for me to change this so that my match would also be Roth? Or is it not possible due to the fact that I didn't pay tax on the match? I did poke around MyPay but I didn't find a way to change it. I’m pretty certain that you can change future contributions, but the ones previously made are a no.

There's also the reserves where we're looking for people with Masters degrees and experience to become Military Government Specialists(38G). It's reserve only, officer only, direcrt commission and there is a board every 4 months. These roles are usually not filled(I am always trying to get people to do it). It's the Army's version of monuments men, literally, with 15 other subspecialties. The best part is, you can get boarded at 46 or so because we want people with experience.

She's like 42 and adorable (medical specialist). I'm always looking for people for 38G direct commission, Army reserve only. The main requirements are five years of work post masters degree and it's a high bar to clear for a lot of people. You could be old af for that.
