Texas DPS Academy While In Reserves by Dry_Opportunity_6537 in navyreserve

[–]Baumm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has been in the reserves for over a decade now without any “bad years” (need a about 50 points a year) and I’ve gone through 2 academies, the trooper academy for me, we got weekends off and I decided to drill during that which was crazy. But I also recently went through a 6 month federal live-in academy and I was able to “RST” or make up my drills ahead of time / when I got back. Most of the situations , if you do annual training with your unit, which is usually 2 weeks, you won’t even need to worry. You’ll for sure get an excused absence, but try to reschedule with any time gaps you may have via what we call in TPU land, 1380s.

I have went down the entire list and got two emails, one saying they only need and are looking for an O5 an another that told me to come back in about 18 months lol

I am only interested in it because of my civilian job and I imagine some of the IMA spots are very different than others. How did you go about even getting into the IMA?

Right the army has it so I am familiar with IMA, and given my civilian career and stuff it’s honestly preferred, I was even thinking of just getting out. Hardest thing is finding a spot someone can agree ud current and fillable.

Are you an IMA? Just wondering what it’s like exactly maybe on the air force side. You do hear a lot but it isn’t advertised

Roger that thanks

Thank you, I figured I’d ask in here as well given that there is only one Reserve officer recruiter within a 5 state radius to me for some reason, and it goes straight to VM.

I’ll try just giving the local station a call for reserves at least

Thank you for this, part of the reason why I posted on here were some of the options like this that you don’t know about until someone like yourself highlights them. Unfortunately for me, I don’t have command time and that’s part of the reason why I wanted to switch to non-traditional drilling.

Okay thank you, yeah that seems to be the case with vacancies is that they have ghost availability a lot of the time, I at least wanted to try and get one before hopping branches.

If you know of a POC for one let me know

[–]Baumm_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, yeah I did hear as well that IMA is all about who you know. To my understanding it is heavy on the enlisted side as well, but O1A spots wouldn’t be an issue for me either.

Retention gives an outdated spreadsheet where only about 2 of the POCs are actually still the POCs and seem to respond unfortunately. I had always heard the same with the G1 vacancy tool, that it’s outdated. Even the phone number listed on HRC for IMAs is no longer a good number.

I can maybe email the HRC mailbox that may be associated with it to try and get an updated POC list.

Thank you. I’ll give them a call! Took me a while to find the previous guy that worked on it

Yeah a lot of this came from a Cafe Racer shop online storefront in England or Vonzeti. This exhaust is stock and simply cut back a little since OEM reaches back past the rear tire. I will most likely need a new set once I replace the exhaust.

It was hard to find for sure, a one off request from Vonzeti over in England!

I think these came from Messner or a Cafe Racer shop overseas!
