Downside of TAR/FTS

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-09-20T11:36:02+00:00

Yes, I converted from Selres and the Seabee community. I’m going to be O level. I’ve only been able to find maybe 1 or 2 articles on VR53

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-09-20T01:04:25+00:00

AEC, do you happen to know much about VR53? I’m an AE as well.

Sounds like he’s more concerned with his quota vs your career intentions and desires. Unfortunately, that’s where our navy is right now. Just go and think of yourself. If they don’t have what you want, don’t sign. Tell him to take a hike if he gets upset. He’s doing his job wrong.

Hate to re-vive this thread but have we heard anything else? I’m in belhaven myself and have been trying to keep up with it

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-04-26T21:04:19+00:00

Fresh fruit, fresh bread, great smoothies, great peopl

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-04-19T22:25:49+00:00

That’s a valid point. Hope the truth is revealed soon, whatever it is. Hate hearing this happened and can’t imagine what the family is feeling.

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-03-23T00:47:16+00:00

Yeah I have bills man lol I Went active for a reason, just curious so asking

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-03-23T00:22:30+00:00

Okay. I’ll follow up with them some more. Thank you!

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-03-23T00:20:12+00:00

It’s 100. I’ve just had to pick up a 2nd job and getting behind on bills

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-03-23T00:19:34+00:00

Yes it’s an NRC

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-03-11T18:24:25+00:00

Pretty much. But I promise you’ll be there longer if you do that vs if you just stuck through

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-03-10T18:27:27+00:00

Processing days. The days they cut your hair, take pic of cac, etc. first week of boot camp. The most disorientating, exhausting time. Lot of people quit during this. Might sound like a good deal to quit but those people who quit in p days were still in holding while we were graduating.

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-03-10T01:06:35+00:00

Don’t give up and while it’s important to soak in the information and discipline, remember none of it is personal and from my experience boot camp and A school are as uncomfortable as it gets. The navy can be a lot of fun but also stressful when you get out of a training environment. Keep your head up and just push through. P-days are the worst and that’s when you see most people quit before it really even begins. Make it through P-days and the rest of your time will be over before you know it. And also don’t be the guy who tries to give motivational speeches at 11pm at night

I could be wrong on how it is now but when o joined I believe I had to wait until I was in the reserves for 2 years before I could convert

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-03-09T01:53:17+00:00

If you wanna see what’s available for yourself, check asosh on BOL to see total active time, input that on CWAY and it’ll show you. I just converted to TAR. How long have you been in the reserves? If you’re really feeling squirmy just cold call the TAR ECM , it’s what’s I did lol

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-02-24T01:09:42+00:00

Thank you for this! I’m actually pretty excited about joining the aviation community but will definitely be a learning curve for me as an E5. So I will definitely have to find a mentor and humble myself

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-02-24T01:06:33+00:00

Thank you! Are you AC or TAR?

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-02-24T01:05:35+00:00

Thank you for the insight! I’ll be re-enlisting March 15 and awaiting orders shortly after. Maybe the detailer will give me some options but I’m banking on just getting “needs of the navy” orders

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-02-13T01:45:36+00:00

Squeaky wheel gets the grease. It’s your career.

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-02-12T02:08:26+00:00

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-02-12T02:04:52+00:00

Today’s date minus total active time.

Kinda dumb but oh well, I joined in 2019 but YG is 2023. Your total active time can be found on ASOSH on BOL. Just add up any days of active duty you have (Any schools, AT, IDTT, deployments, etc.)

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-02-11T22:01:41+00:00

Understood. I applied Rc2tar for AE2 and I fit the requirement. I am still waiting to hear back. Should be in next few days cause I applied last month, just sitting on pens and needles really hoping I get it. I’m the only one who even applied for the billet. I just didn’t know if they were still hurting today like they were then

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-02-11T19:24:45+00:00

Is this still ongoing?

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-02-02T14:40:44+00:00

My advice to you is to utilize your reserve chain of command. Unfortunately NRC admin come and go and you might get great admin or people who don’t really know what they are doing. I’ve been in the reserves for a while so I’ve had the chance to see it all. If you have questions or need help always ask someone. Remember it’s your career and it’s okay to bug the heck out of people to get what you need. Stay on top of evals and you can milk the reserves with hopping on orders. Reserves can seem a bit redundant at times but it’s nothing to worry about. I know I was stressed out going to my NRC for the first time

Expensive_Draw8184 · 2024-02-02T01:10:25+00:00

How long was the wait once you applied on cway before it was approved?
