We had two reservists in my NIOBC class. They were able to get signatures on their PQS while going through school while the other (active duty) students had to wait until they showed up to their first duty station.
That must have been annoying. I know the school holds a few slots open for reservist and I've seen tons of people ask to go but I've yet to see someone get a spot.
I was side lined for the two week virtual NIOBC running right now - I have a few friends that got slots - half the course has no prior intel experience and some haven't even been to ODS - I am so pissed that I was not allowed to sit in on that course right now.
I'll get over it - I've had a good year with the Navy this year - but the murkiness with training, PQS, and who gets to slip by and who gets the stiff arm is more glaringly obvious to me in the last year or so than at any point in my career with the Navy.
