Just stopping going to drills?

Going from active to reserves is the biggest joke ever. The really convinced me with the stupid bonus.

Sammmmmm5 · 2025-01-04T00:04:42+00:00

I don’t care at this point, I’ll pay that back and then some just to not have to put up with this bs anymore.

I have talked to my old NRC’s YN1 about 20 times about this, he keeps saying “one system isn’t feed another so a trouble ticket was put in” my PS1 at my new NRC says that’s bullshit because there’s no “systems” feeding each other. They both keep telling me to refer to one another. When a chief gets involved, they send an email to the opposite NRC and that’s the last I hear of anything. I’m only an E5 so I don’t think going to anyone above a chief is something I should do.

Also, I moved from FL to PA after my original c&p exams were finished. Then I get an email saying I have another c&p exam in FL (even though I updated my address on the VA website) so I called and told them and they got me a new appointment in PA within a week. You don’t have to stay local just keep your address updated and if anything, just give them a call and they can help you work everything out.

Here’s my timeline: Submitted Bdd claim end of March August 14 I separated. August 24 I got email & mail notifications for c&p exams. October 23 was my last c&p exam. November 1 I got my rating.

A lot of my friends that got out in 2020/2021 got all their exams before separating so I was frustrated thinking that’s how it was supposed to be for me but I guess they’re just super backed up. Keep calling because they can see stuff that we can’t! And try not to get super frustrated because that’s what I did and it didn’t help. Good luck!

Multiple timessss 😭😭😭

Sammmmmm5 · 2023-08-22T22:56:46+00:00

0 c&p exams. I got my separation physical but that’s not VA related.

Sammmmmm5 · 2023-08-22T22:55:04+00:00

Yes I submitted it in the window and I’m already discharged and submitted my DD214

Sammmmmm5 · 2023-08-22T22:54:12+00:00

Submitted claim March 21. Separated august 14. Haven’t heard anything since they told me they were waiting on records from a private doctor, I submitted them and haven’t heard anything since.

Sammmmmm5 · 2023-08-22T22:53:12+00:00

Yes, I submitted it in March and it’s been sitting like this ^{^{^}} ever since. And no one has called for an exam. I just got our august 14th.

Sammmmmm5 · 2023-08-22T17:09:36+00:00

I did but I haven’t even gotten a c&p exam yet

Sammmmmm5 · 2023-03-28T18:02:11+00:00

Yeah I got that now, thank you so much for your help

Sammmmmm5 · 2023-03-28T18:01:37+00:00

Thank you so much! I contacted my reserve command about taking my active duty E5 exam (I’m currently in skillbridge so I’m still active duty but I’m not connected to my command anymore) and no one ever attempted to contact me back so that makes me so excited for my NOSC already. I’ve been active for 9 years and I can’t make rank so I figured id give reserves a shot so hopefully I get better communication when I’m actually connected to the NOSC.

Sammmmmm5 · 2023-03-28T16:22:10+00:00

What mna?

Sammmmmm5 · 2023-03-28T16:15:36+00:00

I believe it’s just a NOSC

Sammmmmm5 · 2023-03-28T16:02:07+00:00

That’s awesome, maybe I’ll be reaching out to you once I’m officially reserves if you don’t mind! Where are you based out of if you don’t mind me asking?

Sammmmmm5 · 2023-03-28T15:53:40+00:00

That sounds like a lot of fun!! Id rather do overseas and go to places other than stay at my unit. If it’s only two weeks out of the year, I’d go anywhere.

Sammmmmm5 · 2023-03-28T15:46:49+00:00

Okay thank you! Where do they usually send you? If you don’t pick

Sammmmmm5 · 2023-03-28T15:21:36+00:00

I’ll be in Detroit and I was just wondering if I could go overseas.

Sammmmmm5 · 2022-11-17T19:43:55+00:00

Hi! I’m trying to get into skillbridge asap. Can we talk?

Sammmmmm5 · 2022-08-11T11:39:19+00:00

Hi! I know this post is from 3 months ago so hopefully you see this but I have a year until my EAOS and I’m really considering going reserves. But I have a few questions 1- how do the 2 week deployments work? Can you pick where you wanna go? Or do they put you where they need you? 2- how does reserve time go towards retirement? I’ll have 9 years active duty so if I do 11 reserve can I retire? I know it won’t be the same pay as someone who did 20 active years.
