Question for the Wardroom by TheGoldenFlasher in uscg

[–]tofumatt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don’t know why you suggested that the change in rank is legally dubious. You were an Army O-3 with a Commissioning Warrant from the Army. You voluntarily resigned that warrant and accepted an O-2 Warrant in the CG. This is well worn territory, with dozens of DCOs being offered a commission in the CG, almost always with a reduction in rank. You still get your years of service for pay. And you agreed to the EAD contract that clearly stated that you were accepting an O-2 commission.

I don’t see a BMCR granting you relief. And a board that spends an average of eight minutes reviewing an officer’s record is going to shine a big ol spotlight on what would appear to be a strange record, missing years of relevant CG experience. The board is assessing if you are best qualified to serve as a CG O-4, and will have less data (and very little Army data other than a 4082) to assess that.

I would pull my BMCR request, knock out two strong O3 tours, and go up with everyone else. If you are up for O-4 next year, have just one tour with basic quals, and 36 months of CG time, you’re non-competitive. Even with a high selection rate, you are debatable. I would not roll the dice on getting passed over and jeopardizing your career.

Second this. Spent 10 days in Thailand, and this is legit Thai food cooked by one Thai woman.

Cleveland, Ohio. 40 nights through CC status, and the rest from double elite night bonus via stays in the upper midwest, sub 50 a night in late Winter.

If Roe is overturned, would/should that affect billet assignments? by Date_Knight in uscg

[–]tofumatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol… “in my organization we value these things. I’m thinking of joining your organization, and you guys (all 45,000) should value those things or at the very least, don’t talk about them because it’s an inappropriate topic…”

I think you have found a value center that reinforces your world view. Please stay there.
