I applied for a job that ended up being a government contracting job. Now I am being told it is a 5 year contract and the salary is about 30k above my current salary. However, I am hearing horror stories about contracts ending early. I believe it’s a W2, as benefits are being offered. I already have great insurance through the military.

I would like to transfer to a more secure GS position afterwards, but was recommended it be a good foot in the door to do contracting.

Not sure if anyone else has any experience with this themselves and can offer some guidance.

Got an Article 15 with UIF. Tried my best to fight it and lost in every way. Nothing I can do now but move forward.

The reason I am on here is just to find out whats next.

1. Am I likely to be able to reenlist in December? This is my first blemish on my contract.

2. It happened on a deployment. My CC back home favors me, so I am wondering if clemency can be granted in 3-4 months after I bounce back from this. Not sure if it has to be originating authority.

3. Any advice in how to minimize damage at this point. I was on track to complete my bach with a 4.0 and try to commission. Maybe I can still when I finish my Master’s?
