Volunteer for Short / Long Tour

Hello,

I have been looking at volunteering for an ADOS position on the MOBCOP site.

I see a few of the open jobs I have been looking at have more than 5 people who have applied.

My question is;

-How do they make their selection?

-Do you need to attach anything when you apply?

-Is it a lottery....just keep applying?

-How does it work to get sected?

-How did you get selected? (if you ever applied?)

Thank you all. Any input appreciated.

Just picked up the AGSU service cap.

I picked up the AGSU service cap today. I feel like it looks really stupid on me.

After asking a few other people they concur that they feel stupid with it on due to its appearance.

Any one else feel like this about it? It reminds me of a hat made for a guy with a pompadour.

Is it possile to still be paid even though and LES is not generated in DFAS?

Realisticaly I have no problem waiting until the 15th.

Tricare Reserve to Tricare Prime

I was recently activated (at a school for 60+ days).

Tricare switched me over to tricare prime, however dropped my family from Tricare Reserve.

I attempt to enroll them into Tricare Prime, and milconnect will not allow me to.

After speaking with DEERS, they indicated that my unit somehow has me marked as "awaiting to start training."

Any idea where this "status" is? Any one delt with this before?

National Guard ribbons when in the reserves.

For those of you that were NG…do you still wear your NG ribbons even though the reg says you can’t?

curious what the consensus is.

Soldiers not saluting

Coming off of active duty I found it necessary to keep your "salute" up as not saluting when a senior officer walked by would be a death sentence.

As I am now in the reserves...I find that I am stopping soliders and speaking with them frequently (a few times a day on drill weekend).

Is this the norm?

Is this a biproduct of the gen z?

Am I the one who is disrupting the culture?

Thoughts?

MAJ before CCC?

I am currently in Prmotion Peril as a CPT (CA).

I am about to hit the zone in FY27 and will be on the promotion list to MAJ.

Problem is I have been given approx 5 years TIG when I commissioned (Direct) in 2025.

I will have BOLC done by SEPT however will be fighting to get a CCC slot prior to JAN.

What are your thoughts on a PME waiver for CCC being approved by the promotion board in this situation? Have you seen them become approved to avoid being a "non-select?"

Thanks all.
