Im a new NCO and my Solider is going as a walk on for BLC tomorrow. She just told me shes worried about her waist. When we taped her in August, she passed with half an inch to spare. She mentioned her “time of the month” is causing bloating. Not too sure about that kind of stuff but she’s had no record of failing height/weight and waist/height before.

How strict are the SGLs when it comes to this? I don’t want to set her up for failure. She’s unsure if she should risk it and go or hold back until the next class.

Fort Stewart location.

My battery is going to be four years old by the end of the month and I’m only now having startup issues. What are some battery recommendations for replacement besides the OEM?

Just got quoted $4700 from a pet shipper. Is that a normal cost?

If anyone has done this without a pet shipper, I would love to know your process.

Things to note:

My dog is around 28-30 lbs.
My report date is JAN2027.
Already working on his second rabies shot so he can get FAVN done.

What else is needed?

TIA.

A few bullets that I think are relevant:

• I'm Active Duty and currently 24 months at my first duty station.
• My current ETS date is MAR 2028.
• I'm an Initial Term Soldier.
• My STP is showing projected orders for JAN 2027.
• This is a CONUS to OCONUS PCS

I talked to my retention NCO and was informed of the following 3 options:

1. Re enlist

out right.
2. Extend my current contract up to 23 months.

1. A combination of both

His recommendation was Re enlistment.

Could I get some insight on this whole thing? I was under the impression that first timers get to request their duty station. They might not get it but at least get to request and send up hotlines, etc.
