r/SkillBridge

Well it’s coming down to the wire for me to leave the area and what I did not plan for was separation medical. I am about to leave the area for a 6 month skillbridge however medical will not allow me to do my sep medical until the 180 day mark. As far as they said and my chain have said is somehow you can do it at another base or the VA. Note I’m in the navy and the area I’m going to does have an mtf within 50 miles on an Air Force base. No real guidance on how to get this done but I am checking out of the area and would like to know if anyone has experience with this and where I can do my separation physical.

Hello, I’m attempting to SkillBridge for the last little bit of my contract and was wondering if I would receive relocation orders prior to starting the SkillBridge or do they populate closer to terminal leave towards the end of my contract?

Good afternoon everyone,

Does anybody know any remote Skill Bridge opportunities for Supply Chain Management?. I’m currently an LS in the Navy, will start applying in December.

I wanted to be able to go to a college during my 6 year army contract for one of two things, for business, or computer science. Or BOTH. I’d like to be able to work from home and either A. Be a business analyst, or B. Be a software engineer.

If there is anyone who took a route through the military to get any one of those degrees, how did you do it???

Just wanted to see if anyone else has been in this boat and what y'all may have done.

I'm currently in an MEB and at the halfway point. All exams are done and awaiting the fit/unfit determination (knowing it will be unfit) and PEB to follow. I'm trying like hell to job search since I'll be out of the Army in 5ish months (according to PEBLO).

I'm looking at going through a Skillbridge opportunity where I'm going to move to post-Army, not within my current 50 mile radius. The PEBLO office immediately said no and that MEB soldiers "can't go on TDY" and then pointed to their local memo that said MEB soldiers "should not go on TDY". The memo references 635-40, which also does not support a full TDY ban.

I've told my chain of command about the issue and they seem somewhat lukewarm on trying to get a signature for the packet given the PEBLO's sticking point and ETP refusal.

Has anyone else been in the same boat or able to secure a non-local Skillbridge opportunity while going through an MEB? It just doesn't seem helpful to pursue something local knowing I'm moving across the country as soon as I'm out.

Thanks in advance

Hey all,

I keep seeing conflicting guidance on skillbridge criteria. I am an Army O-3 with about 14 months to ETS.

I am tracking skillbridge/CSP is limited to 90 days for me; however, I am also seeing Reddit traffic about it being cohort-only.

The guidance at https://home.army.mil/imcom/3517/5621/5457/CSP\_Overview\_Brief\_April\_2025\_1\_-\_Update\_26\_August\_2025.pdf#:\~:text=%E2%9C%93%20Army%20Approved%20CSPs.%20%E2%80%A2%20Programs%20have,additional%20eligibility%20requirements%20that%20must%20be%20met. does not mention that.

Can anyone clarify if I am still able to do an individual internship with a company I coordinate with?

I have a applied to 3 different locations and gotten told they cant wait for skill bridge. To give some context im a AZ in the navy and im separating in 13 months love my rate and job but wanna do it civilian side. Im a E-5 young but over qualified for the AZ positions they're offering on there skillbridge platform but ever time ive applied some dude calls and says they cant wait or they just dont do skillbridge at this location I like amemtum but should I go to a different company.

I got out in 2022 and landed an IT Project Manager position making 100k for local government through the Hiring Our Heroes program. I have since moved around a couple times and been sitting in a $140k local government IT Project Management job. I know everybody here considers those rookie numbers - but I’m trying to be content where things are at right now.

Are people still finding success with skillbridge and/or Hiring Our Heroes?

I recently applied to a skillbridge with Raytheon on their website but I know they also partner with HoH. Are these just two different avenues to participate in their skillbridge or is the “job posting” just advertising that they have a skillbridge? TYIA

Have a remote skillbridge and I’ll have free time due to it being self paced and was wondering if any of you ever accepted a job from a defense contractor and worked it during skillbridge?

Was your chain of command okay with it? Did you have issues getting your contractor CAC while still holding your Active duty CAC?

Hi everyone,

My wife is currently applying for the fellowship for HOH, but her application has been pending approval for about a month now. Is there anything she can do to expedite the process?

Could anyone provide information on the typical duration of the application process and the steps involved in getting accepted into the fellowships?

Wondering if anybody here has applied to or participated in Cisco’s Military In Sales Leadership (MISL) Skillbridge? Looking for the good, bad and ugly. How was the interview process? How were the people? Was it a good experience overall?

I know this seems random but I want to pursue and try out career on vessels as an ordinary mariner at least or any other practical positions and hope to become able seaman after some sea time. I’m fine being offshore for months at once.

I’m active duty usaf doing logistics works and had no prior sea training.

I know abt the twic, mmc, stcw, etc already and I’ll work on that myself.

Are there any skillbridge opportunities that I can look into that betters my chances at getting hired?

Thank you!

Hello all, I'm stationed in Germany and am considering transitioning out, but would love to stay here a while longer. I was wondering if there are in-person Skillbridge opportunities in the Kaiserslautern area, as I am stationed here with my family. It would be difficult to participate in a Skillbridge anywhere other than here, or my home of record in DFW (which I am also open to).

I'm looking for opportunities that would further expand on my current role as a Network Administrator/SATCOM operator. I am wanting to get into Satellite Network Engineering if possible as I greatly enjoy both the SATCOM and Networking side of my job. I'm very well versed in Linkway TDMA and love the troubleshooting side of networking. I'd like to move into a role that would continue to challenge me so I can continue to grow.

Anyone have insight/experience with this? Or any suggestions of other careers/roles outside of Network Engineering? I love what I do at the RHN, the effect I have on the mission, and the unique challenges I encounter. Bonus points if I am still able to continue helping out our warfighters.

helpp!! I’m sure this has been answered here but I can’t find anything. sorry I typed a lot, wanted to be specific!

im in the navy and start skillbridge July 6, I’m moving out of state away from my command and trying to figure out if I will be able to do my separation physical at another command in the state I’m moving to? for reference I’m in VA and moving to Colorado so I know they have plenty of bases there. everybody here at medical and my command just say they don’t know. people in colorado told me it was possible. I’ve already done dental, got separation orders, pretty much checked out of my command- I just have to email admin at my command with my documents showing medical is complete.

does anybody have any experience doing this or know how to get this done? I appreciate any help.
