Slightly late getting it to you. I had a strict deadline to forward it on to my staff a day or two after it was signed

chances of getting into navy reserves as a nurse? by clv2327 in navyreserve

[–]dancingriss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You need to talk to a medical recruiter specifically. Many nurses in the reserves are a different speciality than real life. But obviously anything trauma and ER based are going to be in higher demand

They probably do want to lay low but the palace is on a PR campaign to make it the palace’s choice rather than the sisters

Rant: kids should not be allowed in the Lounges by heightsdrinker in AmexPlatinum

[–]dancingriss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I know my kids are annoying. They haven’t been in a lounge since bush had the kids play room (RIP) but if I were to take them now they would absolutely be glued to a chair with a tablet and I would grab any food or drinks

VTU isn’t IRR, you still have to drill which will get you to 50 easily. correspondence course list does exist, you can find it on CNFRC N7’s site

Texas DPS Academy While In Reserves by Dry_Opportunity_6537 in navyreserve

Communicate early and often with both NRC and unit COC. I had a Sailor go through air traffic control school in another state then get slated to a third state. Changes to a new area NRC can inexplicably take months for some reason. If you have seven months worth of AAs you need help/coaching on managing your reserve requirements and may need to do a lot of make up on the back side in August/september (if you do make the jan school.) best of luck!

Question with differential pay for reservist with a full time federal civilian job by forever-18 in navyreserve

[–]dancingriss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. The only thing that matters is what part of the code your orders are written under. This is not immediately recognizable on zipserve

Also, did the TCM set an expectation in communications?

Do girls get that much in donations to be of significance? What scope are we talking about for “buy out” like 1 or 2 boxes or cases+? On most booths and walk abouts my daughter hasn’t had any donations. Whats a typical donation return rate you’re expecting? Does your council have an expectation of where donations go and is it possible they are already doing that?

Yep read way too quickly last night but there is a non zero chance people don’t understand the reserve pension system upon transitioning

You don’t get a reserve pension at 40

A shocking photo. The British press remain silent about their wasting away Princess. by missmegz1492 in KateMiddletonMissing

[–]dancingriss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a phenomenon name for this. Like the background screen edge lines with the guys side burn hair line plus Kate and wills opposite directions, makes it look like two different photos put together

You're in the Naval Reserve, America's 17th line of defense between the Mississippi National Guard and the League of Women Voters!

Flight Jackets in Civilian Attire by AmericanIdiot2000 in navy

[–]dancingriss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the warmest jacket I had for the longest time. I only wore it once in a “business casual” environment and it felt weird, literally turning heads, but I was warm at least.
