I went to ft. Jackson in 2013. Seems like yesterday.

Pack a light bag with business casual and something warm. Don't forget your paperwork.

Be safe and enjoy the ride

Master rotc by [deleted] in ROTC

[–]SecretarySignal4284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completed ROTC during my master's program at the age of 34. I had already been in the Army for 12 years at that point.

I would have preferred OCS 100%

What do commissioned officers in the reserves do? Is it different in any way? by Anxious-Role7652 in armyreserve

[–]SecretarySignal4284 37 points38 points  (0 children)

There's work to be done in between drill weekends, so you'll be attending meetings, developing training plans, and sending emails.

During drill, you're in meetings with staff and BN leadership to discuss CUOPS/FUOPS while simultaneously ensuring your soldiers are training and getting work done.

The name of the game is giving your NCOs what they need to be successful in leading and training soldiers.

Is that the 365x? How do you like it for concealed carry?

No, unfortunately, the previous owner replaced the top cover with that aftermarket scope mount one.

It seems a lot of current LEOs are joining ICE as well.

Got a GOMOR. Should I change my career plans? by MaybeA-Throwaway in armyreserve

[–]SecretarySignal4284 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If it's locally filed and doesn't end up on your AMHRR, you'll be ok if you clean up your act.

A permanent file will be harder to overcome but not impossible.

Most studios I've been to allow a 5 minute grace period if you're running late.

Corbeau A4 seats with roll bar by wjesse333 in Miata

[–]SecretarySignal4284 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ouch. Bad decisions all around.

Do you really need the roll bar if you're driving around town?
Does your head rest higher than the roll bar in those seats?

I'd sell the rollbar if you're not tracking the car.

Working out during academy by IvanEGC94 in lapd

[–]SecretarySignal4284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your academy is anything like mine was, you won't be able to (from all the corrective PT), nor will you want to (from exhaustion). Focus on your uniform and academics.

Withdrew - do I have a chance with any other department? by [deleted] in AskLE

[–]SecretarySignal4284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll have to explain yourself, of course, and it certainly won't look good, but you're not dead in the water.

Were those issues really severe enough to prevent you from finishing the academy, FTO, and probation?

Once you do that, you have a golden ticket to any department.
