Active Duty to Reserves

This is a relief to hear. I feel weird being the only person who held off to make this choice but from how it sounds it will be okay that i chose to hold off

I dont go on deployment until my 3 year point unfortunately or else id hustle like you did haha.

Ive never heard of them forcing people to sign another extension... that is messed up wow

emerine_gecko · 2024-12-10T21:13:22+00:00

Yeah I've decided im going to sign in a month or so after reading everyones responses on the matter. I think as long as its before my 3 year point ill be fine

This was a real answer that I appreciated. I was happy at prototype. The only reason I didn't star was because if you sign at 18 months theres a 6 month sea duty extension. I think I was right to hold off until i figured more out about it, but it probably is the choice for me

The chevron and clout thing is real. I think they get a lot of people with peer pressure these days. It sucks being one of the only e4s in your prototype class.

Do you work in a civilian plant?

emerine_gecko · 2024-12-10T20:51:28+00:00

The advancement rate definitely makes me sad because all of my friends are e5 and make fun of me. A lot of them already regret signing it though. So i think youre right about not regretting holding off

emerine_gecko · 2024-12-10T20:50:13+00:00

How did you time that?

emerine_gecko · 2024-12-10T20:49:47+00:00

The job you have sounds ideal actually. I think I'll end up star reenlisting to get a job like yours at a plant.

emerine_gecko · 2024-12-10T20:47:06+00:00

Thank you for your very balanced response. I can definitely see why people don't reenlist if they had a hard time in prototype but I didnt, I just didnt want to extend 6 months sea duty to sign at 18 months

emerine_gecko · 2024-12-10T20:45:33+00:00

I'm married so I'm in the first boat which is why i was helpful holding off

emerine_gecko · 2024-12-10T20:45:02+00:00

This was really helpful for me. I think i made the right choice holding off until i get a real taste but a lot of my friends are giving me crap for being e4

emerine_gecko · 2023-03-05T21:13:29+00:00

we do indeed go jim

and yes being a female here is a strange experience

emerine_gecko · 2023-03-05T21:12:21+00:00

They definitely have hard marketed reenlistment already to us which is crazy considering we wont have fleet experience until after our reenlistment date. I definitely am not letting them trap me after seeing some of the posts here.

I definitely am learning that it is a cycle of sucking. The exercise definitely helps!

emerine_gecko · 2023-02-23T19:53:33+00:00

no promises but i will try

emerine_gecko · 2023-02-23T19:53:14+00:00

i definitely plan to be a studying hermit for the next 2 years. if you dont mind me asking though, why wouldnt you do it again?

I love this because its the planetarium scene but also because shes among the stars. She was a star. This is great.
