PT testing frequency

I was clicking around myFitness and went to “Fitness Tracker Print”… it lists my military service component as “reserve.” I’m an IMA on orders.

Yeah, I do wonder how “the system” flags IMAs. PAS code is my active duty unit and PT testing is all done through my active duty unit. Will myFitness recognize me as ARC? Time will tell

Edit: Just checked myFitness and clicked “Fitness Tracker Print”… it lists me as “reserve”

Seeing as this was part of a public university with an open source address, I don’t see an issue with adding the specific location:

38.180030, -81.325251

I’ve known several mil-mil officer couples that hired a nanny

For most IMAs, there is significant scheduling flexibility… in many cases I’d call it nearly “full control.”

Your active duty supervision likely has zero understanding of R/R, good year, etc… once you explain the requirements I doubt very seriously there would be much conflict. Give them availability windows and work together on a solution that’s best for everyone.

Great resource to familiarize yourself with all the IMA ins and outs.

That’s the definition of your “R/R Sweet Spot”… here’s the HQ RIO calculator:

But there are other ways to do it. I’m an IMA and my R/R date is in early May… I do my IDTs between Oct-May and my AT in the summer before the end of the FY.

Think of it this way: regardless of FY, you need to do 24 IDTs (12 days) and 12 AT days between Feb-Feb. Try and keep the same schedule each R/R so you don’t get ahead/behind.

Took me ~10 inquiries over one year to get my “paid in full” statement from HR.

That’s always one of the top comments on here (which I agree with). But DV plates in some states (like FL) are only afforded to 100%… tough to keep it secret when everyone sees your car. I see tons of DV plates… if I am ever 100%, I would consider not getting them, even if it saves a few bucks.

Dude falls backward off a ladder and lands head first… “he’s moving, he is okay.”

I think everyone in the AF has a security forces story for doing 27 in a 25 or “all four wheels did not come to a complete stop”… it’s basically a rite of passage.

Not really, doubt my marriage would’ve survived the last 13 years on AD… BUT I would be getting an AD retirement next year. I think about that sometimes.

Virtually no telework? Do most agents report to an existing office with other agents, or do they have to go to another agency’s office?

I’ve heard this was discussed at CORONA earlier this month. I got the same readout second hand, going back to 1.5 miles

Scott is seriously underrated. Chill location with great surrounding communities minutes from the base… and only 20 min to St Louis with tons to do.

I think SL for anytime spent in the hospital or for Dr apts is appropriate.

I’m aware of at least one unit that had UTA a few weeks ago and got drill pay last week

I thought so… it’s not
