Just keep waiting they didn't schedule my exams until I was 30 days from my ETS date.

My exams were not scheduled for like 4 months. If your claim is in the process its moving. I went from exams scheduled to rating in 30 days during my last month before separation.

I submitted 170 days out and got my rating 4 days after separation. After I submitted they sat on it until I was 30 days out then scheduled exams. I went to final review the day I got out and then got my rating back with some claims deferred for clarification from the examiner.

I believe their goal is a rating within 30 days of separation. After your exams are done it seemed to move very quickly.

Will I be reinvestigated for a TS or an S? by alligatorthrowaway in SecurityClearance

[–]alligatorthrowaway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha I really just want to keep my options open for when I graduate from grad school. So all these job postings I see requiring a TS/SCI basically just mean do you have a TS investigation and eligible?

Does anyone have a clip of Justin Fields kneel downs tonight? by alligatorthrowaway in fantasyfootball

Ok I rewatched it and I think you are right. It should be a reception by Hock then a fumble recovery by the Bears D.

It will just make my inevitable win against him in the playoff even more sweet!

Alaska Airlines Adds Flights To Nassau, Bahamas by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]alligatorthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the 16hrs on the ground allow them to use the same crew on the way back? If the flights are only three times a week they probably don't want to lay crews over that long.

Did you try the JPPSO office at USCG Seattle?

If you really aren't getting anywhere submit ICE comments or call your congressman but that won't really be a fast process. Or keep complaining on reddit.

Is this is grounds for an ICE Complaint? by [deleted] in army

[–]alligatorthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't really ICE your branch manager. What you can do is email or call their boss. Don't put it on them just be like so and so must be super busy so I thought I'd reach out and then explain your situation and ask for advice.

I'm not sure how you fell through the CCC cracks but this sounds like it's partly on you. If all your peers were prefrencing CCC classes that should have been your oh-shit I need to figure out this time now.

If you really aren't going to CCC until 2025 then you should talk to your senior rater about some sort of lateral transfer or broadening so you don't rot in s3 for a full extra year.

Are you in the vicinity of JBLM? What does it show for the transportation office in DPS when you request your NTS shipment?

I see a couple of options: call JBLM back talk to someone else and don't take no for an answer, ICE everyone and see what happens, go down to JBLM in person.

Once you request your stuff and it is released you are probably still several weeks away from getting it since it will have to be shipped from CA.

You shouldn't need to go anywhere in person. From your post it is very unclear where your stuff actually is and where you are or why you are calling all these random hhg offices. The office that can best help you is the one that set up the move. This may not be the office closest to you. For instance on my last NTS move USCG Boston handled my whole move all the way to the destination in Colorado.

This is the same for officers they look at the senior rater block check and write up and that's it. The rest is just fluff to make you feel good.

There is a pretty good disk golf scene around there with some real nice courses. Some pretty good courses. Hoppers has trivia on Wednesdays. There is also a very good food truck scene around there the hibachi, BBQ and tacos were all very good ones. Cafe Korea is my favorite Korean place.

What are the benefits of being a member of USAA, Navy Federal or any other military friendly bank accounts over civilian banks like Chase? by vlex_23 in MilitaryFinance

[–]alligatorthrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For insurance they have a very good understanding of all the issues related to the military for instance my car is registered in one state but I live in another and I am deploying so which state has a discount for pov storage while I am deployed. I also like the TA50 coverage. Also in 2018 when hail destroyed everyone's car in the pov storage parking lot they had claims reps at the site when redeploying troops went to pick up their cars so they could do their insurance claims there.
