There’s a few positions that are exempt and you’re not allowed to hold reserve membership in. And if you’re in those positions you’re supposed to move to USNR S1 status because you’re mob could be detrimental to public safety or national security.

Often times individuals keep drilling and if mobilized they’ll get letters from their employers saying they can’t be mobilized and CNR will cancel their mob.

Do you think it’s weird that @HAL Pilot doesnt call me out when I call you an idiot?
Only because I missed it as I do not pay much attention to this thread.

But it’s very telling you are now publicly bragging about your ability to hide behind your super mod status to do things that would have us mere mortals censored.

That and you’re as much of an idiot as he is so you just cancel each other out. (It’s 50-50 if this is censored or allowed to remain in an attempt to show “see we treat everyone inclyding mods the same”.

Grab a beer with me in Hawaii next time. Meet you at 939.

SP3 or Rockza also an option if 939 isn’t your thing.

And are these positions paying 120-150k a year?

Just wondering. Cause I saw a lot of jobs posted regarding hiring mil spouses and reservists and once talking to the recruiter it was a salary of around 70-90k.
we have hired the entire range from those who did 4 years active and stayed in the reserves for entry level positions, to those in executive roles making the range of 6 figures. We just extended an offer to a younger reservist who's pay range will be 80 up to 110K depending on performance bonuses, there was a USAF reservist that several years ago "sat" (he worked remote most of the time) about 100 feet from me who was making 140-160K or more with bonuses until he was hired away from us.
It's not bullshit.

And guess who I work for as a civilian. The U.S. Navy. Every single civilian supervisor I've had so far in my GS career hated that I was a reservist. One even told me they wouldn't hire a reservist the next time. And I'm not some low level employee. I'm considered a senior civilian in my career and still get shit for it.
That is unfortunate if you are getting shit for it why not look for a new employer?

This has been discussed amongst my recruiter and hiring manager groups, now they don't include government recruiters or at least they haven't spoke up but all the civilian recruiters and hiring manager have no issues with reservist and the numbers that are being asked to look for veterans which includes reservist are significant, ideally they would like a veteran who is a diverse candidate.

The feds have golden handcuffs on me.

I worked in multiple commands across the Navy as a GS civilian. None of my bosses liked my reserve employment. A few tolerated it but most hated it and made it known.

To be fair, the active duty people I worked with didn't care and didn't hassle me. But, I never really had a prior military or active duty boss during my GS career. The GS civilians who were in my immediate COC were the issue. None of them served and their perception was that a reservist is just creating extra work for them.

Gotta be honest, I know the plural of “anecdote” isn’t “data,” but I have a hunch this is more of a GS problem than a private sector problem.

I most definitely agree. My old boss straight up told me that it should be illegal for someone to get a GS pension and reserve pension.

You're opinion is less than worthless regarding reservist employment and civilian career progression. Stick to active duty issues.
You’re a dishonest piece of shit, whom nobody should hire, ever. How dare you use your military status to fuck over employers. Oh, wait… are you just trolling again? It’s hard to tell sometimes.

I think you got your posters mixed up.

Maybe take a break from the internet for a bit.

And he’s not wrong. You don’t have any experience as a civilian employee.

It’s a major problem in the GS sector and prob more then private.

GS can’t exactly just hire anyone to backfill without all sorts of HR backing. So a reservist leaving either leaves a gap or they got to hire a temp or term civilian.

All that being said. The 120-150k salary range is extremely competitive. So I’m not volunteering anything extra that could be used against me.

I’m also not looking for work anytime soon and will be in my current gig til retirement.
