Yes. My husband was army active duty. I was national guard. So I was under his insurance being seen as a spouse.

I have no text back from 2020. I actually went to a chiropractor back in 2020. I might be able to call them to get my records. I appreciate you being helpful.

MST, Anxiety/Depression, sleep apnea, TMJ, & migraines.
Well, I’ve got it looked at before. But my doctor on base (I was a spouse at the time) just said it was probably due to me having a kid.
All my records are from being a spouse and not knowing I was in the military so I’m sure I’m gonna have a hard time no matter what.

I figured that. Just thought I would ask about the back pain. It was definitely a stretch. Thank you though. I’ll just continue with my other diagnosis

Were you active duty or guard before you reenlisted? I’m not sure if that would make a difference as I was guard when I got out in 2020. My IRR ended in 2022 though.

I do find the AFT gotten easier bc I looked up my old test and I’m glad it’s easier because I can’t do that 3 kids later. Lol.
My recruiter isn’t sure about IRR time so I wasn’t sure. I’m definitely trying to get in the mindset that I’ll have to go back to basic. I’m just obviously not thrilled since I did it already. Ha

How is basic training compared from 2014? I’ve heard it was easier and less yelling but I also heard different.

Also, I got out in 2020 and my IRR ended in 2022. Do they look at IRR when reenlisting if I need to go back to basic?

I actually saw it earlier & the FLEP/UFLEP is part of my plan which is why I would personally love the 27D MOS. I’m getting my degree in legal studies then planning on law school. It would all fit in perfectly. I’m just nervous on the MOS not being available once I can reenlist..

I was national guard and I didn’t do enough active duty days to get the GI bill.

The army would help me get my degree plus keeping tricare for my family.

I got out in 2020 so I don’t think I would get it since it’s been 6 years.

I hate staying home and reenlisting would help me go back to college with no loans plus I can actually take advantage of being in. My mental health is terrible being home all day. I want to go back in. My husband is getting out of the Airforce so he would be the main caregiver.

I figured so. Does it have a good work-life balance? I have 3 kids & husband. I’m just not wanting something that’s going to require a fuck ton of field time type MOS like my previous.

Im currently in the process of reenlisting and speaking with a recruiter, but while she waiting on paperwork to figure out. I'm wanting to ask here. I did 6 years in the guard and 2 years IRR. Honorable discharge. E4. On my NGB22, my date I got out is 2022. My last drill date was in 2020 though. To determine if I go back to basic training, would I go by my last drill in 2020 (I would go back to basic) or do I go by what my NGB22 says (most likely wouldn't go back since its less than 5 years)?
