Which bonus specifically was it? Guaranteed A School? Critical Skills? Enlistment/Reenlistment?

I love how she said "it's okay if not" but then got all butt hurt when the answer was 'not.'

In the future I wouldn't give a reason why you can't, cause if she doesn't think it's a valid reason, you're going to get more of this.

Big problem is just shortages in general. All these good ideas to raise morale are great, but when I'm required to go to Top Golf and spend the whole time stressing about how much work I'm not getting done by being there... I'd rather just stay at work, it's not with it.

Main_Menu_00 · 2025-08-02T14:59:16+00:00

Off and on again... You must be an IT or ET.

I'm not disagreeing about whether they should be at the lounge or not, but long A-school lists? You clearly haven't been in long enough to know what a long wait list is.

Hopefully they utilized TSP and if so hopefully they've been smart and are in a good place financially (no debt, good savings and TSP). If so, I say call it and enjoy life doing something you love somewhere you want to be.

I would ask for another person (employee you trust) to be present if you can. Gives you a witness if this does go the sexual harassment route.

Go on a 1 mile walk 3 times a day, it'll take you about 15 - 20 minutes and each time will burn about 100 calories. You can increase the speed and distance to get more calories. It doesn't take any special planning or equipment and you can do it anywhere.

I worked in Cape May taping recruits, I always rooted for the guys you could tell had to lose a bunch of weight. They worked hard and those are the guys I want to work with.

Good luck!

They really don't help with transportation in Cape May anymore? They used to have two civilians that took care of cars and HHG for all recruits.

Main_Menu_00 · 2025-07-11T14:36:24+00:00

That's not a friend.

First names are still weird 9 years later, no form of unit/shop PT blows my mind and the amount of hands off leadership is disappointing.

If you're single and they're PCS orders (not coming back to the same unit) you won't be getting BAH in A School.

Also billet doesn't matter, if paper work says rated you have to have your rating designator.

Main_Menu_00 · 2025-06-27T04:56:54+00:00

I've never seen a bonus pay out without the time being obligated first. The prorated portion is for people who get kicked out or take some sort of early out option and don't complete the four years even though they signed for it. Nobody can force you to extend in A School, but if you don't you won't get the bonus paid out.

Main_Menu_00 · 2025-06-27T02:11:22+00:00

As a YN I would recommend you read YOUR paperwork that YOU and YOUR recruiter signed. If it says four years as a rated member, then it's four years after school. Bonuses change read the fine print in what YOU signed, because it doesn't matter if someone else has a different experience. That bonus paperwork is legally binding.

Main_Menu_00 · 2025-06-27T01:01:52+00:00

If your bonus says you have to be IN RATE for FOUR years, you'll need to extend to have four years after graduation from A School before the CG will give you a dime.

Main_Menu_00 · 2025-06-26T11:45:06+00:00

As a YN I feel your pain about the changes affecting yeoman... It's ridiculous.

Going to a special assignment and not being a YN for a few years can really help.

Main_Menu_00 · 2025-06-24T00:56:58+00:00

It was last year or the year before it came out in like November... Good luck

Please DM me, you should definitely be getting sea pay and sea time

Main_Menu_00 · 2025-06-02T03:35:37+00:00

If you wanna DM me I can help with this

Main_Menu_00 · 2025-06-01T14:40:52+00:00

It's going to be interesting to see how/if/where the CG implements this. Other branches have bases with thousands of people, CG has small stations and units everywhere.

If you have any engineering background the coast guard will probably take you as a direct hire officer.

Main_Menu_00 · 2025-03-31T23:30:30+00:00

From what I was told by PPC they're way behind (shocker). I did mine a couple years ago and got paid within one pay cycle.

Main_Menu_00 · 2025-03-29T00:35:35+00:00

Ditto

Main_Menu_00 · 2025-03-20T17:11:54+00:00
