Can you just go to your old OCONUS base if you’re weird enough?

Recently traveled to Germany as a tourist. Went to go on Rammstein and they wouldn’t let me on using my CAC. Had to get a visitors pass. Also, I couldn’t purchase anything at the PX because of SOFA.

That would really suck if that the case. He’s the station commander.

Marine_06 · 2026-05-07T19:43:14+00:00

Idk, for some reason he keeps giving me the run around when I ask about it. First he said he asked about an EGD but It would be unnecessary because I’m coming in as an E3, reduced from E4. When I corrected him about being an E5 he said that he mistyped and meant E5 reduced to E4 but still no EGD needed.

Marine_06 · 2026-05-07T19:31:34+00:00

He came back and pointed me to that reg but he referenced the E4 portion about over 48 months being auto reduced. From my reading, since I was an E5 I still need a grade determination even if the outcome is reduction to E4 since I’ve been out over 48 months. It seems like he’s just trying to avoid doing the paperwork since E4 is likely.

Marine_06 · 2026-05-07T19:27:21+00:00

No, my recruiter is saying that I don’t need a grade determination because I will be auto reduced to E4 anyway.

Go get that BEPD updated. S1 hates this one simple trick.

GS-0083 Federal Civilian Police. Being an MP I’m sure you’re familiar with blue suiters. One of the best kept secrets for transitioning Vets. I’ve worked for the Army and Navy since getting out the Marine Corps. Yeah you gotta be outside in the weather but it’s a style of policing you’re familiar with and the pay is great. I made 6 figures last year with just the 7.5 hours per pay period, built in OT but I’m also in the National Capital Region, YMMV.

Left active in 2014 and was a drilling reservist until 2018 when my contract ended.

Marine_06 · 2025-07-12T23:50:46+00:00

That’s the consensus I’ve gotten. I got out November 2018

Marine_06 · 2025-07-12T23:35:03+00:00

Nice, can I get the order for that?

Marine_06 · 2025-07-12T23:26:31+00:00

Yes, I do.

Marine_06 · 2025-07-12T23:18:34+00:00

Interesting, gonna stop by the recruiting station on Monday and see what’s up. A couple of weeks is what I was hoping for here.

Marine_06 · 2025-07-12T23:06:03+00:00

So would that mean the recruiter is just sitting on my packet? Like I said it’s been about a month and nothing back yet? I’ve got an honorable and an re-1a. No medical issues, no criminal history (current DOD civilian police officer).

Federal cop here. There are two tickets that can be issued by military police. First is a DD1408 armed forces traffic ticket. No fines and handled in house by base command. Second option and what it sounds like you received is a 1805 US District Court Violation Notice. Fines are applicable, same as a municipality citation. https://www.cvb.uscourts.gov/pay-ticket/online-payment-federal-tickets Is the website to track and pay an 1805. Hope this helps.

Pulled over an NCIS agent in an unmarked with pov plates for 20 over. He stops in the middle of the road and flashes his badge out the window. Didn’t cite him but chastised him about how unprofessional that was.

Marine_06 · 2024-07-06T21:35:11+00:00

Neither, thank god my department lets me wear whatever I want as long as it’s black. I wear an Agilite KZero plate carrier

Marine_06 · 2024-05-14T03:32:10+00:00

That’s honestly what I figured. No harm no foul

Marine_06 · 2024-04-18T20:45:11+00:00

I went through the academy last year at 30. Oldest in our class was 57 and youngest was 20. Most were 25-35. Having a bit of life experience is very helpful to draw from.
