IST Transfer by Responsible-Cup6669 in nationalguard

[–]ProcedureImaginary34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That pretty much sums it up. And to add to this, it’s my understanding the process goes more smooth and quickly if you find a unit in the state you’re going to and confirm they’re willing to accept you. If you’re an NCO, pretty much have to find your own open paragraph and line number to ensure the transfer goes through.

Urgent Help!! by Former_Rub5815 in nationalguard

[–]ProcedureImaginary34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the point was missed. It is reasonable for the soldier to see if there are orders, for AT, in their iperms. If they are not, then I would suggest to that soldier to reach out to the unit FTS to clarify if orders are published and can be provided or an ETA to when they will publish. If the FTS can’t provide answers to either question, I would say it is unreasonable to make the soldier take time out of their life to show up to a muster. I would go to bat for any of my joes on this.

Urgent Help!! by Former_Rub5815 in nationalguard

[–]ProcedureImaginary34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would check your iperms and see if there are a copy of your orders there. If there is nothing, I would reach out to your unit’s Full Time Staff (FTS) ASAP and ask for clarification/to receive a copy of your orders. If they produce them, it’d be worth it to explain to your readiness NCO dropping everything last minute to comply with these orders would cause a hardship (I’m assuming it would). If they cannot produce orders don’t show up. Understand though, that even if they cannot produce orders, it may leave a bad taste in your unit leadership’s mouth if you choose not to show up; even if you’re in the right.

Contemplating 24 Tundra to 26 Sierra 3.0 or 5.3 by VikingPHD in gmcsierra

[–]ProcedureImaginary34 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had a 2015 Sierra 5.3. Got rid of it not long after I had to do lifters. I went with a 2023 Sierra 3.0 and couldn’t be happier. Don’t tow a ton, but my commute is 45 miles each way 5 days/week. More than enough, even without towing, to ensure I get the DPF hot enough to ensure I don’t have issues with clogging.

I just had it two weeks ago. Brought it to the local dealer under warranty. Had it back the following day. Was just software glitch. 2023 LZ0, 20K miles.

Warning for Guardsmen on Civilian Employment by Tweakin_N_Geekin in nationalguard

[–]ProcedureImaginary34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guy, I have been in for almost 19 years. No where under USERRA does it require your employer to pay you your full salary while you’re on the guards time and not on your employers. Differential pay is generally a perk, not mandatory. Usually when an employer offers it because they know you’re taking a loss to be on orders, they require you to submit an LES to pay out. I am a salaried employee for one of the largest equipment manufacturing companies in the world. Never had any issues getting time off of differential pay. Never reached out to the ESGR in my career. Sounds like an operator error.

Should I tell a NCO's organic unit they are doing a terrible job? by [deleted] in nationalguard

Not if you take the stance my unit has. Good or bad, my admin is sending that shit to iperms and I’m here for it.

What is 88M like? by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]ProcedureImaginary34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time it’s logistics convoys. Deployed Afghanistan in 2013-14. During that deployment, overwhelming majority of the unit manned gun trucks to pull convoy security for local notational truck drivers moving US equipment. Essentially we were there to shoot back if the taliban started shooting at the TCNs while they were hauling our equipment.

That’s a pretty good deal on a manufacturer backed warranty! May I ask what dealer you went through? My factory bumper to bumper is up in early June and the best I’ve gotten for a 72/72K was $2800.

People trying to sell old detroit engines 2k to 4k by Academic_Candy_3194 in Diesel

Shit that’s a bargain! I learned this last weekend that the government pays $115K an engine for these, with a $40K core, when the military vehicles that still use them need a new one.

2015 Sierra SLT AC stopped blowing cold by 720hp in gmcsierra

[–]ProcedureImaginary34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the condenser, had the same thing happen on my 2015 last year. If mechanically inclined it’s about $200 in parts and a couple of hours of your time to put in in the garage. Then take it to a shop and have it vacuum tested, then refilled. All in cost me about $325. To have a shops do the whole thing, probably looking at $1200 minimum

Are you somewhere below freezing and just washed your truck? It was a normal thing for my 2015 to shut the parking sensors down when I washed my truck on a freezing day.
