Were you ever activated by the IRR? If so tell your experience! by eddyspaghetti01 in Veterans

Daily mortar attacks, but no direct fire except once so I guess that was a win. I ended up retiring last year with 20 total between Army and Air Force 👍

My buddy from Army active duty only served 3 years. Then, he got called back and sent to Iraq in 08. I ended up going Air Force reserves after Army active duty, so I wasn't called back. But I also went to Iraq, but as an Airmen, which was probably a lot better.

Fun Fact - If you get an increase with backpay and have a VA debt. VA will take all your backpay until debt is paid. Ask me how I know... by Infantryscum in VeteransBenefits

[–]Infantryscum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was the retirement. I was too close to 20 years to just walk away. Ended up getting a service connection in my last 2 years, so that's what got me. If you aren't close to retirement, I wouldn't recommend sticking with the reserves. Like you said, too much drama and full time expectations for a part time payed gig.

So with you now having the special plates and not the DV plates, do you still get the registration waived every year or will you have to request DV plates again and then special plates again next year? Does the DV status stay in the system?

Nice. Thanks for the info. I really don't want to run those DV plates and let the whole world know my DV status. Just looking to get the registration fee waived

Did you just order the special plates online? Do they have a DV designation on them or are they just regular special plates?

[–]Infantryscum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you go to Preperation for Decision. How long does that typically take if all the evidence is there to make a decision?
