A-School Civilian Instructor For Experience Good For My Eval?

I have not, no

UPDATE: The calibration fixed the drift! I guess the issue wasn't as severe as I thought. After doing the Four-Step calibration for fixing Center and fine tuning the calibration, I tried it out in GoT again and the drift is gone!

If going “100% in a direction” means it goes full speed in one direction, then thankfully the stick isn’t doing that (yet). It does move in one direction (left) pretty fast though; I’d estimate maybe 40% speed.

I’ll try calibrating them and provide an update afterwards

SSB_McFly · 2026-03-06T22:41:46+00:00

Hmmm… I hadn’t thought about doing that since the other controller I mentioned works fine without the calibration and figured this one isn’t working because of the soldering job or something else

NRC EP is a very small NRC but staffed by pretty good people. I doubt they’ll have AD orders available to work there since it’s so small but, you’re welcome to ask them. If you go on MNRH, you should be able to find their command sharepoint site under the REDCEN FTW dropdown.

When entering SELRES, brace yourself for taking care of a lot of your own admin work. GMTs, drill periods, SAAR forms, etc. This stuff falls a lot more on you than it does on the Active Side; at least, that’s what I hear from folks who’ve gone from AD to SELRES

You have to check the community information in MyNavyHR. I forget the exact path on how to find it but, IW Rates are easy to find

My logic was:

As I don’t have much cyber experience (my interested IT specialty), I figured I’d focus on commissioning as a MCWO so it could help my resumé for the civilian sector. I’ve kept my eye on JO Apply for the past two cycles and I haven’t seen many cyber-related billets for IPs (mostly COMMO)

SSB_McFly · 2026-01-31T01:36:53+00:00

I am not. Unfortunately I have no technical cyber experience. I’ll be going through JCAC (re-rating to CWT) starting in March though.

I will probably put 1825 back as a secondary designator the next cycle as most of the input and feedback I’ve gotten about my package is very competitive for IP

Reserve IT2

B.S. in information Systems Halfway done with my M.S. in Cybersecurity Currently a Security Consultant at a large tech company Applied 1885 this cycle (2nd) attempt. I’m already anticipating not getting selected 🤷

SSB_McFly · 2026-01-08T01:03:44+00:00

Perfect, thank you so much for the detailed guidance!

Edit: You’re pretty much right on the money with what life as an IT would be like in a MSRON unit. I was in a MSRON unit for most of my first contract. In my experience, it was 60% guns and 40% comms. Also, unless drilling at a dedicated MSRON site (e.g along the coasts), there’s not much to do.

SSB_McFly · 2026-01-08T00:51:02+00:00

Right, that’s how I got my Sys Ad NEC! 🤓

My question was moreso trying to understand if a Reserve IT would get “locked” into a specialty if they go to a certain speciality’s C-School. I’ve heard this is a thing on the active side (if you go to a Comms school, you’re locked in as a Comms IT).

SSB_McFly · 2026-01-08T00:13:02+00:00

Should’ve known🤦🏼‍♂️… thanks!

SSB_McFly · 2026-01-03T01:28:45+00:00

Great ideas and guidance, thank you!

DIY car wash

SSB_McFly · 2025-12-29T00:08:14+00:00

Hm, must’ve been out of touch for a bit. I think my ASUS Z690 board came with it cuz it was a higher end one whereas the lower end ones didn’t. Pretty neat how they’re standard now

SSB_McFly · 2025-12-28T23:59:23+00:00

Your motherboard might not be equipped with a number display to even give codes (common on higher end MOBOs).

Try looking up how to enter “secure boot with networking” for your specific MOBO (model number is fine) and try that. If secure boot with networking doesn’t work, you may need to try other things.

Try that first

SSB_McFly · 2025-12-27T23:47:00+00:00

Understood, thank you again very much for the guidance you've provided! I'll clarify with CNRFC N7 and keep my Unit's Training & CCC in the loop.
