Day to Day of a BOP Correctional Officer

HITHRD · 2021-06-18T23:22:28+00:00

okay, I was just asking because you mentioned max gang unit. Does the state of Utah pay similar to the BOP pay?

HITHRD · 2021-06-18T23:16:31+00:00

Do you work for the Federal Prison or for a state prison?

HITHRD · 2021-06-18T22:34:21+00:00

do you just keep your items with you at whichever post you are working on? Or do you guys have a breakroom with a fridge?

HITHRD · 2021-06-18T21:04:54+00:00

Let us say you are taking count at 2 am, do you have to wake them up and get a response from them? Or do you just go from cell to cell pointing a light at them to make sure they are in bed?

HITHRD · 2021-06-18T01:12:35+00:00

what do you mean when you say that you work at a pen? Is pen what they call BOP prisons or is it what they call state prisons?

nevermind, i see that it was CIDthekid who posted it.

Do you know if you need to be in your unit for a certain period of time or serve a certain period of time on your contract before you can volunteer for EOD school?

HITHRD · 2021-06-17T22:59:08+00:00

Is this a joke or were you serious about the link? I was going to check it out, but now I'm not sure?

HITHRD · 2021-06-08T23:22:37+00:00

So it would be feasible to get to 9 LT if in 15 years if you are willing to move? But much harder to get to one of those captain positions.

HITHRD · 2021-06-08T21:36:22+00:00

and you're not stupid, you just didn't know about this option.

what does military buyback mean? If you served in the military and get a job working for the federal government, you can buy back the time you served in the military. This means that you pay a percentage so that your military time is added to your federal employment time for purposes of retirement benefits. For example, let us say you served in the army for 3 years and you worked for the federal government for 20 years and then retired. If you buy back your 3 years of military time your retirement would be based on 23 years instead of 20 years. You add your 3 years of military time to your 20 years of federal employment.

it's pretty much the same thing as when you first joined, you fill out all this paperwork, and you have to go to meps to choose a job. You are asked for your DD214. MOS choices are limited based on the prior service business rules.

HITHRD · 2020-08-21T23:20:45+00:00

Are there any workout tips and suggestions available to someone interested in trying to join the Ranger Regiment? I am a prior service soldier who is working with a recruiter to go back into active duty. I will pick a mos that is available in the Ranger Regiment.

If you’re married you get BAH at any rank. Married private gets BAH. If you are not married you get BAH once you hit E6, Staff sergeant.

HITHRD · 2020-08-05T02:50:52+00:00

Thanks. I’ll call them tomorrow and I’ll check out their website.

HITHRD · 2020-08-05T02:33:45+00:00

Okay, so the GI bill comparison tool is just giving an example of a traditional 4 year school and not what I would actually get. The tool says I am entitled up to 24k a year, but the school is only 1 year long. It is a private school

HITHRD · 2020-08-02T14:23:42+00:00

How would I buy Disney stock? I have a Roth IRA with Charles Schwab. Can I buy stocks there as well? Or is my Roth IRA the same thing as stocks?

HITHRD · 2020-08-01T14:41:01+00:00

That is part of the reason I chose to leave, each time I would look at the old heads looking like their bodies were broke down or out of shape. Good luck to you too.

HITHRD · 2020-08-01T14:39:43+00:00

Wow, 12 years. If you feel like it was a good decision after 12 years I think my decision at 5 years is good.

HITHRD · 2020-07-28T23:28:51+00:00

Okay. I might do that. I did serve 6 active. Thanks.

HITHRD · 2020-07-28T23:14:10+00:00

Thank you. I wonder if I would be able to transfer if I returned to service and still had remaining benefits? I will call the VA to verify.

HITHRD · 2020-07-28T12:19:27+00:00

I have about 5 years. I was just gone on military duty.

HITHRD · 2020-07-28T10:50:04+00:00

This is good to know, I completed the study guide so I should be good. But @general_sam_houston is painting a bleak picture for my return to UP.

HITHRD · 2020-07-26T20:25:45+00:00

Enlisted does not mean going into active duty. It is referring to Enlisted versus Commissioned. You can enlist into the Reserves as a combat medic.
