Two questions. I am prior enlisted from a different branch. I chose my rate as Construction Electrician. I’ve been actively drilling with my TRUIC since February however that NIOC unit is just a bunch of IT, CTT, etc. no Seabees. How does it work when it comes time for AT? I haven’t had a particularly straight answer when I ask. I got in an accident so hadn’t worried too much but now that my back is better I want to look into AT orders so I get a good year. I don’t have an UMUIC, I applied for Seabee units on MyNavyAssignment but since I don’t have A-School I also wonder if they’ll even pick me up. That said, my second question is, will they pick me up if they see an E-5 with no training in their rate?

For the navy reservist officers in this community. What are your designators and how much time commitment do you give to the Navy outside of the 1 weekend a month drill and 2 weeks a year AT? It seems like its hard to find much information about this.

Low effort post.

I want to deploy.

Dont care what job I'd have to do. Preferably DDG.

My rate is AG.

I am process of re enlisting to navy reserve from AD and and now I am going live in Lakeland city between Orlando and Tampa 51 mile away on google map 61 mile away from Orlando in radius they are both short of 50mile. can I still get hotel? because I do not want to drive I 4 in the morning crazy traffic and drivers

I’m interested in applying for a direct commission as a Navy Reserve Maritime Cyber Warfare Officer (1885) after completing my cybersecurity bachelor’s degree.

The current program authorization lists:
• 5-week ODS in Newport
• 3-week Cyberspace Operations Planner Course in Pensacola
• 3-week Information Warfare Basic Course in Virginia Beach
• Additional qualification requirements completed within 36–60 months

For current or recently commissioned Reserve MCWOs: Are these three residential courses normally scheduled as separate sets of orders, allowing you to return to your civilian job between them, or can the Navy require all 11 weeks consecutively?

How much additional time away from a civilian job did your qualification process require during the first three years? Were any portions completed during drill weekends or annual training? I’m specifically asking about MCWO 1885, rather than IP/CSWO 1825 or active-duty pipelines.

Thank you!

I have heard many assumptions about the lifestyle of YN/TAR rating, but I have yet to actually hear from anyone in this rate.

I have so many questions and would be eternally grateful to hear from one of you. Thank you in advance.

Hello all, I’m currently in the process of joining the AF reserves but I recently learned a lot about the navy reserves that really peaked my interest. I’m wondering if the cross-assignments are really as interesting as they make it sound online or does that rarely happen. I like the fact that I could travel somewhere quarterly. Also, from what I understand there is a lot of opportunity for volunteer deployments at different lengths of time that could get me some of the benefits quicker like the VA home loan. From what I understand, a lot of this isn’t offered as much in the AF. So I want to get someone’s take on it thats in the Navy Reserves. I’m just waiting on a waiver for the AF but I’ve already talked with a Navy recruiter and they said my waiver would be approved within a couple weeks. So tempting.

Evening y'all, not going to share any of the finer details but if something was submitted to REDCOM for a review and decision. Whats the average time to hear back from them or is it anyone's guess?

Rservists can request refunds of insurance premiums amd out-of-pocket medical/dental expenses for themselves and dependents enrolled in DEERS retroactive to April 24, 2020. If you served on 12301d orders (ADOS/ADT/DR) and were found ineligible for TAMP, this could apply to you.

Hi all- life has gotten in the way and I'd like to go to the IRR as soon as I can -- when I hit my 36-month commit as an 1835. I'm not yet fully qualified, though. Will it be possible to go IRR instead of fully resigning my commission or being removed from the Navy?

I was active duty and transitioned into the reserves last year. I was participating in funeral honors and there was an issue with my DTS accounts, the civilian in charge of my accounts detached one and I was able to use my active one for filing my vouchers. I took a break from funeral honors and then went back to it this year. There was another issue with my account. I didn’t have the current number for where the funding came from and I had to use my reserve account now. I reset it to log in to my reserve profile and now when I attempt to login, I get a pop up that says that I already have two accounts associated with my social. My current unit doesn’t know what’s up, DTS doesn’t know what’s up, and I was informed even REDCOM can’t do anything. I’ve already contact my previous units and they both told me that my current unit owns my profiles. I keep getting the runaround and I have a school coming up that I’ve been waiting over a year to attend. If anyone knows how to solve this you would be helping me out immensely.

I am currently 100% Disability and going to school and I wanted to know if it’s worth it to join the reserves as well if I even have a chance. Please let me know what are my chances prior BM, E-4.

Thank you

I may be joining an operational unit that requires work between drills. Is that extra time paid through additional IDTs or RMPs, or is it usually unpaid? How does it work in your unit?

Hello all!

Im shipping out in October and have been maintaining my lease for years now and working out the extension for the next 12 months before I ship out (lease technically ends in November but it gets renewed every year).

I know reserves is approved for BAH on orders over 30 days which I’m also aware RTC, A School and FMTB is. My recruiter seems to be unfamiliar with the process, but HM2 at my office said that I am approved for BAH and to put it in my packet.

Reaching out to ask if there’s a way to make sure I get this BAH and confirmation before I ship out, last thing I want is to get stuck with rent while I’m away for the better part of a year, I also really need to keep a residency in my city for my city’s fire department (I’m an EMT civilian side).

Any guidance or help with this is greatly appreciated.

I have 100% disability

It includes
PTSD
Migraines
Radiculopathy (Both arms)
Cervical Strain
Lumbosacral strain

You can guess the percentages, but I still want to go into the reserves through the SSMP (Strategic Sealift Midshipman Program). I want to see how realistic it would be for me to get back in even with all my disabilities. Prior Navy Service

We all know the recruiters job is to get you in asap, so tell me if this was true or a lie. My recruiter told me if I join as a reservist and go to school full time then id get extra pay for things looks or housing. She said it would only be an extra $400 a month so not much at all. Im well aware I cant use the Post 9/11 GI until 6 years. Pleaee let me know, TIA
