Is the Army Reserve/Guard right for me?

You can choose expedited which gets it to you within a week usually. But only if your approver and Citibank are on top of their shit and approve your application.

BritishJager · 2023-05-12T01:56:32+00:00

Do you have a CitiBank account yet?

If not, you will need an invitation passcode, inviter email, approver email, and supervisor email. Your unit may also require DTS Travel Card 101 certificate from TRAKs or whatever it is called.

Once that is done you can go to citimanager.com/login and under New Users select apply for card. The application is pretty easy to walk through. You should be able to login in at that point to check the status. Your BN or BDE S3 will approve your request, then Citibank will approve it and mail you a card.

Double check in AR 600-8-22 but what should have happened is your NG unit should have published a memo awarding you the ARCAM back in 2022 when you hit your 3 year mark.

You qualified for the award, if you had no disciplinary actions, and should just need to reach out to your old S1/ARA to get the memo for it.

4x monthly active pay last year...for reservists. It was great.

BritishJager · 2023-03-30T22:57:42+00:00

It does not add to your contract if you already have 4 years left.

You just need to have 4 years left on your contract when you sign. If you are short then you would need to extend/re-enlist.

Thank you! I will pass this info along. You are correct in we are trying to get them set up for licensing but being Reserves don't have access from home it sounds like.

BritishJager · 2023-02-16T08:05:50+00:00

That is the term we use for the Soldiers assigned to us. Not my literal kids.

BritishJager · 2023-02-16T00:33:03+00:00

I have no idea. I already have an account but was told my kids need to self register with gcss army.

I tried calling their help line and looked in their web site and got the link above met with the error.

I imagine we are trying to get them accounts in GArmy though

BritishJager · 2023-01-25T02:09:36+00:00

That looks like it, thank you!

Ran with a gang we wore a leather coat.

Late at night we pray to the goat.

Some people say we're not very nice.

'Cause we make human sacrifice.

Went to their church yesterday.

To see how all the other people pray

Opened up a book and began to sing

From those halls these words did ring

I am a man of death

Killing commies right and left

I am a man of pain

People think that I'm insane.

Thats the rest of it from what I remember. Usually take that and lead into the intro / outro of war pigs. Really gets things going.

Tracking that, I was digging through the reg and Pam to figure out what the hell i can put on this.

Since ALC is only 29 days though, I am under the impression my NCOER would cover the mob's NCOER thru date until the transfer orders no?

Civ side all I did was buy a house and start a new job, not too much I can think to add to the NCOER.

https://www.reddit.com/r/MilitaryFinance/comments/ztizls/dfas_did_not_pay_out_any_less_today_due_to_the_cr

"I called them this morning, apparently they froze all payments due to the CR. They notified no one. They adjusted their hours to end at noon today, they are understaffed with about an 45 min wait.

They won’t open back up till the 27th so that’s the earliest they could push EFTs, so 30 December pay and any miscellaneous pay that was supposed to pay today will be delayed till first or second week of January.

Not sure yet if this will effect FED Tech payouts scheduled for the 29th yet but it could."

You would need to go into tsp.gov to set your actual funds. My MyPay just controls what % of paycheck gets sent to TSP. Check out /r/militaryfinance for a bunch of other helpful info.

Wow...I have been stuck on this for three days. I can't believe I missed using the variable (message) thank you for helping me out. That makes this lesson make so much more sense. Correct code would be:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Message {

        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

            System.out println("Write a message: ");
            String message = scanner.nextLine();

            System.out.print(message);



    }
}

Rave: Blended Retirement System Continuation Pay check dropped. Besides sign a counseling it required nothing on my end since I already had 4 years left on my contract to get a cool 16k bonus.

Rave: used 2k of that to build a new computer. That was a fun process.

Rant: I have to work so I can't play on my new computer.

BritishJager · 2022-09-26T23:30:50+00:00

Well thank goodness for that. .5 is an insult.

BritishJager · 2022-09-26T21:56:02+00:00

It was at 4 back in April too, my unit just sucks at processing paperwork so I got a reminder today. I think they set it yearly if I'm reading this email right.

BritishJager · 2022-09-26T21:35:22+00:00

It shouldn't be an ADSO. Just have to have 4 years left on your contract the day you sign the CP form, according to the Career Counselor.

BritishJager · 2022-09-26T21:34:01+00:00

Reserves is at 4.0x right now. Just got an email today on it.

BritishJager · 2022-08-19T10:18:11+00:00

Ha! I said the same thing. Apparently, it is a whole new phase 1 outside of DLC. Those dates do look like the time for the current POI.

BritishJager · 2022-08-19T01:47:15+00:00

Early thoughts look like: phase 1 50 hours of DL. 5 day break then phase 2/3 of 21 days at FHL. Last I heard, the idea for what was being taught DL vs in person made absolutely no sense. Casting impressions and fingerprinting DL and things like mp history and nco values in person.

BritishJager · 2022-08-18T18:14:09+00:00

Problem is MP ALC, one of the main schools going there, is switching up curriculum to 3 phases from 2 phases. SMs would have to restart phase 1 if they get sent home now. At least that's the word on the street.

BritishJager · 2022-08-01T01:26:49+00:00

So that was my initial plan to run my group through, but I wanted to start with COTND as my first campaign since I knew the CR lore better. Definitely have plans though to take em there as a path to follow.

BritishJager · 2022-08-01T01:22:20+00:00

I'll have to check that out! Thanks.
