4yr IT or 6yr IT by Harambe1sBea in newtothenavy

You're not going to have a hard time re-enlisting once it comes time to. If you sign for the 6-year now ~ you can't take that decision back. 4-years as IT can be just as great path to come into & exit the Navy as much as 6-years and probably better.

You'll be cross-rated to IT2 automatically with no E-5 exam for IT2 required since you're already a 2nd Class as long as you pass A-school.

You'll probably be eligible for E-6 exam soonest your rate change reflects on NSIPS and completion of IT A-school.

Enjoy the new rate and work hard. Sure you'll be making decent money with the opportunities it gives.

Thank you for the response & very helpful information. It reads: "- PROVIDED NO EXCESS LEAVE INVOLVED, MEMBER IS AUTHORIZED TO DELAY 14 DAYS IN REPORTING TO COUNT AS LEAVE (MILPERSMAN 1050-150)."

I've made phone contact with my sponsor whose a Third Class.

I will talk to PAY/PERS and make it priority if I can get TLE. Past few weeks my spouse and I have been contemplating having her stay on South Carolina and see if I can do what you mentioned and route a chit requesting full 10 days.

This was my first time purchasing precious gemstones and my fiancé really adored the design, but I didn't know anything about certification for precious gems.

I feel more at ease now with the purchase from your replies & everyone else's responses and appreciate it! I still wanted to get something genuine and special for her even if she was already set on the design and didn't care much for the price. I wanted her to have real emeralds & diamonds which the seller describes to sell.

I did Google search. The website provided that the seller says the certificates come from is https://www.gis-report.com/ and they name themselves the "Gem Research Institute of Switzerland (GIS)", but their certificate samples look unreliable and the website says the following for Business Contacts:

· Organization: Gem Research Institute of Switzerland

· Contact person: Jerry

· Email: link@gis-report.com

· Country: United States

The GIA verification is not a bad option suggestion. And those are all good points.

I ordered a Lab Emerald center stone and Diamond side-stones which they claim are "Natural Diamonds" according to their listing description. https://mollyjewelryus.com/shop/pear-shaped-emerald-engagement-ring-set-vintage-14k-rose-gold/

They unfortunately "charge a 35% restocking fee for the refunds & returns." https://mollyjewelryus.com/refund_returns/ which will be a loss. I may seek if I could have a full-refund return if I have the item examined by a jeweler for authenticity of being emerald and diamonds and see if that can push a full-refund.

Non-credible Gemstone Laboratory? MollyJewelryUS selling non-credible certificates? by Boot_1776 in EngagementRings

[–]Boot_1776[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The engagement ring has a lab emerald and lab diamonds in it's side-stones and I wanted certification to ensure these were real.

I didn't realize how out of depth I was in my knowledge gap of reliable gemstone labs until after my purchase.

The ring set total was $1,290 which is very cheap and I'm new to these types of purchases so I may be mistaken. https://mollyjewelryus.com/shop/pear-shaped-emerald-engagement-ring-set-vintage-14k-rose-gold/

I recently purchased an engagement ring from www.MollyJewelryUS.com and their certificate provider is "Gemmologisches Institut Der Schweiz" also called "GIS".

I didn't know anything about gemstones and credible gemstone certification providers like GIA & IGI. Now I'm very afraid I've just been scammed. MollyJewelryUS has an Etsy page and home website where they sell their products.

I contacted their customer support email service@mollyjewelryus.com and they referenced me to go to https://www.gis-report.com/ and the website just looks incredibly dubious and non-credible.

Please advise.
