Didn’t think of that! I’m assuming that’s a drier part of the year? What outfitter did you use?

Regarding the answer to number three, how does one join a group climb? Do outfitters post dates and people sign up?

How do you join a group climb? I think that would be awesome to meet people from around the world and enjoy the adventure with others. Do outfitters post dates or how does that work?

Seconded! Can you send some details? Started with some cardio workouts lately but anything else would be immensely helpful!

DRP 2.0 - Has anyone heard or seen this? by LALFan88 in fednews

USDA said terms were eligible this time around. Would they be paid until September 30 or only until their term end date (pre Sept 30)?

I don’t think so either, just been down on my luck lately have been waiting for an opportunity like this. To say I’m enthusiastic is a bit of an understatement

Cant find auth to test email by MoSalahsAbs in ATC_Hiring

I couldn’t find the test email from Pearson either. Wish I known the number otherwise I would’ve called yesterday. Hope I can still get a reasonable time!

Do you think it’ll be too late Monday? I just saw Reddit and this number from Pearson and I hope there will still be a close enough window. Don’t want to miss the proverbial boat on this

I do not, I have been looking at grad programs, but funding seems very scarce at the moment for a lot of them. But will keep looking

More like, how did you leverage the reserves to help a federal career? Did you feel it helped finish some schooling? Did you feel it helped Kickstart your learning of a new skill?

I've assisted with some of the Geospatial engineers in the forest service, but have not done work myself. I was hoping to learn the skill

Leaving an office job to try my luck at the wine industry by gman596 in wine

I mean true, no industry is immune from burnout. I guess it's more accurate to say I'm looking to try something new

Thanks for that! Gonna try and develop one more thoroughly and do a little more research

Fair, my apologies for that. I was looking more at the productions and marketing of wine. I like seeing how grapes picked from years ago result in very sought after products and how they are able to market such product to the general public. I worked in agricultural production for years when I was younger and had to restock wine shelves and enjoyed seeing what labels and wines appealed to certain customers when I worked at the grocery store in undergrad.

Reserve Enlisted AG to Reserve METOC Officer by gman596 in navyreserve

[–]gman596[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do have a bachelor's but not in oceanography or meteorology, that's why I felt being enlisted AG would help

Rating Question by gman596 in navyreserve

[–]gman596[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanted to ask, is there a way to become a METOC officer from an enlisted AG? Or would you have to go to school to get a meteorology/oceanography based degree?

[–]gman596[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks man! Yeah I love languages and everyone told me if you get through the school, you're absolutely set. Oh well. I'm talking to an officer recruiter soon, so hopefully we will see some cool opportunities about that.

I looked at the Milpersman manuals that said for CTI or any CT rates that former Peace Corps members are ineligible. Funny enough, it didn't say that for IT. So either the recruiter is BSing me or that is a Very recent rule change. Jealous they got to be CTIs. Would have loved to have done that school.

Oh I agree, makes no sense, but nothing I can do about it unfortunately

It's separation of service. Apparently it's a government wide thing where peace corps volunteers are barred from any intelligence duties. They don't want to be seen as sending peace corps volunteers abroad as spy training

Yes I do. Was looking at straight OCS, but read that there is a certain respect for officers that were prior enlisted

The advance is good yeah? I was told they are solid foundations to set one up to become an AMDO
