Finally got the call from the NRC - I’ve been waiting about a month to finally be gained after taking my oath of office. They are rescheduling my SELRES drills for June to two upcoming weekdays to facilitate DEERS/ID Cards and be able to better focus on my onboarding. Works well with my real life schedule (firefighter) so I have no worries there.
Couple of questions -
Besides BOHICA, any advice for navigating the NRC life until APPLY?
What is the APPLY Board all about? My entire time in the reserves prior was with HM-15 so my NRC/NOSC exposure was pretty limited, mostly to the two mobilatizations to HM-15 AC UIC. So I’m pretty new to the real reserves.
Any way to get an O-5 into a hardware billet again (I’m guessing no, but maybe there’s a magic back channel from a Wing Staff position to occasional flying)?
Any possibility for NEPLO billet? Being a FF/Paramedic, disasters are kind of my jam now.
Just need 3 years to 20, and willing to drop back to VTU, but I’d love to keep the healthcare going if I can. My city government plan is pretty crap compared.
Thanks for any and all advice.
