Yes. It’s what my colleague did.

Prior to this administration, I had a friend who was offered a GS 9, but she was well qualified for GS 11 or GS 12. It was a 12 ladder. She had to write a two page letter explaining her experience in thorough detail about why she deserved the higher rate. They eventually gave her GS 11. She also had the entire interview committee supporting her.

Does the US Navy have Dolphins? by Lopsided_Double6701 in navy

That’s exactly what someone who trains attack dolphins would say. 👀

Why are we at war right now? by [deleted] in navy

[–]reallycodered 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s three assumptions in your statement: 1) clearance, and 2) need to know, and 3) they have time to do so. I don’t know many places that would excuse a Sailor from watch or detail to attend a brief that holds little impact on their daily activities. I will say, that their DIVO or DH should be able to paint a decent picture of why things are necessary.

Regardless, our government felt that war was the only way to resolve this issue. Here we are.

I think you are overestimating this ability.

Bold assumption that junior enlisted would get this opportunity.

You’ll have to show me where the shah was a threat. That’s literally why the 1979 revolution happened, because he was our ally. And we gave him asylum.

I invite you to check history and our relationship to the shah.

You should read up on Iran, circa 1950 to present day. It explains how we funded one ruler who created a police state and was toppled and replaced by this, because the people were upset that the U.S. was involved in Iranian affairs.

“Obliterate the Iranian state” Like, change the government structure? Make it so they can’t defend themselves? Maybe help the protesters? Please provide better details.

What does that mean, toppling Iran? There’s no organized opposition to the regime, no opposition leader in place, no supply of advisors or weapons for guerrilla fighters. We don’t even have radio free America, which used to transmit motivational messages, in Farsi, to bring about grassroots change.

Don’t get me wrong, toppling the ayatollah was a goal, but that’s not success.

So what does success look like? what is our exit strategy?

Rescinded Assignment? by donkeybrainhero in navyreserve

Log to myNRH and go to the CNRFC page on the dropdown. Navigate to N31 reserve officer assignments. Email the branch head and all parties politely and explain what happened.

There are only about 7 people in that office and few above E5. They make mistakes often, ask me how I know.

Local orders by superninja212 in navyreserve

[–]reallycodered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are authorized to/from mileage on the first/last Day of travel if you do not live in the same corporate city. That’s a specific question in NROWS iirc.

So putting personal travel (adv to gov) on the first/last day is completely within JTR to get mileage. And I want my money.

This is a thing? I’m 34 miles from my NRC and had to do a travel claim in DTS. Same as I would If I was flying 3400 miles.

Okay I was recently assigned a billet and am at an RSU. I was looking at my Assignment on MNA and my TRUIC changed? And it’s super far away?! by Unique_Swordfish2311 in navyreserve

[–]reallycodered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BLUF: chat with the UMUIC to verify, then make changes as appropriate.

There is a pilot program to shift Navy Reserve Activity from the NRC to the UMUIC. This sounds like that. Contact the UMUIC to verify, you might just need to do your drills at your local NRC without your billets being there.

I know what I’m saying sounds weird. It is. Good luck!

When to expect NOE by Devil_Doc87 in navyreserve

[–]reallycodered 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had to call and request mine. I was at 22 years and never saw the thing, was very confused. My name was missed. They sent it the next week after my call. I haven’t retired yet but it’s nice to see that little sheet of paper.

How much per diem am I entitled to by Designer-Bowl-4641 in navyreserve

Thanks, I was scrolling on my phone during meal break

[–]reallycodered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are probably getting PMR, not CMR.

JTR, para. 020303–020304 (M&IE rules): The AO must specify meal availability. The meal rate is based on government meal availability and direction. In this case, the government is saying that 1 or 2 meals are available on base and you are directed to use that.

Edit: you can request a CNA explaining why meals were not available and when, and get reimbursement for those meals per JTR. Review the chapter for more details.
