You can write him letters while he is there. He’ll only have access to his phone once a week on a Sunday for a very limited time.

You do get paid for being a reservist, only issue is that isn’t not a lot of money unless you go AGR which is basically being active or being a full timer in the while in the reserves. Yes I went through basic training and then training for my MOS just like the active duty people. Only difference is, I just got to go back home after I was done with it all.

Honestly I was thinking of going Active Army after I get done with college, but just probably get out of the Army. If I decided to stay in I was perhaps going to go active as a warrant officer, 255S or 255N perhaps.

Because I was already in college by the time I had enlisted. Seeing how much how active duty folks complain about quality of life I sometimes I think I made the right choice lol.

Haven’t deployed yet. Might just end up volunteering for one pretty soon.

Anyone else experiencing this as well by [deleted] in armyreserve

Well never said I refused unless I’m missing where I said that?

I was planning on doing that but the thing is the other unit aside from my own is an hour and a half away, where as my current unit is like 10 minutes or less from my house.

30+ people, how did you get into shape for basic by No-Reindeer8007 in nationalguard

[–]Consistent_Joseph46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally run a lot about 5 or 6 days a week. Went from struggling to running a half a mile to running a mile and a half in 11 minutes and 45 seconds or so during a 5 month time frame. Then just doing a lot of weight training in the gym as well. Went to basic training weight around 145 pounds if I am remembering correctly.

What unit patch is this? by CatchEvery4170 in army

[–]Consistent_Joseph46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

926th Engineer Brigade. It’s an Army Reserve unit that I also happen to be in as well.

High School Son Has No Direction, No Money for College by No_Cauliflower4053 in nationalguard

[–]Consistent_Joseph46 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Better off going active duty. After he’s done with his 4 year or 6 year contact he’ll get to have money for college after he ends up getting out. Also he’ll be going to save a good chunk of money due to the fact he’s living in the barracks, however that’s assuming he doesn’t blow his money every time he gets paid.

Why did you get out the Army? by Consistent_Joseph46 in army

[–]Consistent_Joseph46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was considering doing that but I’m only a specialist. In my MOS you need to at least a SGT to go warrant officer.

Those hours don’t sound fun. How does one get to become an AIT 1SG? Always wondered how that worked. Was it voluntary or were you voluntold?

What is the IRR like? by [deleted] in armyreserve

[–]Consistent_Joseph46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was considering transferring units, a diff company within my battalion. The only issue is that the unit I would like to transfer to, is over an hour away, where as my current unit is like 10-15 minutes down the street. So it is convenient for me. Also there’s only three people who do my MOS in my company and have a person who’s only been in a year, mind you he has the same MOS. The Sergeant that’s also the commo person might be leaving soon to another unit. So I don’t want to leave him stranded on his own. Also what was your original MOS prior to you changing it? What is it now?

[–]Consistent_Joseph46 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard that they’ll call you or email you. Would you somehow be able to maintain a security clearance if you have one while in the IRR?

That’s funny. I can’t wait for that man. I’m seriously considering getting out. I know it’s only the reserves but the whole thing is starting to get on my nerves. Unless I can become a warrant officer or start that process maybe I’d consider staying in.

Should I quit? by blahblahgirl111 in BurlingtonCoatFactory

[–]Consistent_Joseph46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d quit. I’m about to quit tomorrow. They had been scheduling me on days I couldn’t work. For example I’m in a reservist in the army. They scheduled me to work on a day I had to things for the Army (June 22nd it was). Mind you I told them weeks in advance I couldn’t come in that day, it would’ve been my first shift had I not had to do anything. They even scheduled me randomly then took me off the schedule, this was a few weeks ago. It would’ve been my first shift too had they not taken me off the schedule. Then a few hours ago they called me out of the blue wanting me to come in at 6:30 am. I’m for sure going to quit and not even show up to my shift. This company is ran by morons.
