I am Reserves and went through ODS back in April. No need to be nervous. I think you’ll have fun if everyone buys into it. But sometimes…that’s not the case. Though there are YouTube videos going over the experience, I’d say try and leave some of it for surprise. Lol. You’ll be fine.

No need to ask the same question multiple times…
Navy med 101 to first duty station
Hi, I’m active duty attending ODS in October. I understand that I will be going to Navy Med 101 for one week after that in Bethesda. Once that’s done, if my first duty station is overseas, do I get flown straight there or do I have a few days to go home in between? I’m not prior service so I...

Quick question: Are you purposely going around looking for these message types? Because man…this is getting outright He-Larry-Us. It’s a forum so…I expect the question to be asked in multiple threads. ? To say the least, you are on a roll with these responses man. I mean GOOD?️NESS

Don’t worry about that man. It’s expected. I’ve been in this forum since around 2012/2013. Knock the the dirt off your shoulders. It’s all good.

Anyone gone or going through ODS with dependents? Wondering how that will affect BAH (or any other pay?). I go to ODS in 2 months and am trying to get wife and kids into the system. Working on collecting required documents and getting them onto base for processing currently...

You’ll receive BAH for your dependents while at ODS. That’s as long as they are in the system and confirmed through the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS). This is where you will complete the Record of Emergency Data (RED) and Dependency Application (DA). Make sure you reach out (suggested to go physically) to your NRC for assistance.
With 2 months left before attending, you need to get this completed ASAP. RED/DA needs to be verified a few days before you attend ODS so as to not experience any delays in pay.
As RJS said, do this ASAP. It can often take your NRC a while to get the paperwork processed on their end.
From memory you need to go into NSIPS, create a new RED/DA request, upload your marriage certificate, upload your kids' birth certificates, and submit it. Then the NRC needs to sign off on the RED/DA request itself.
I was planning to bring the documents to my local PSD on base and have them upload everything. Is it smarter to upload documents myself? Still awaiting marriage certificate in the mail. Evidently I never got an "official" license...
I honestly don't know the answer to that. If you're got a working CAC and can get into NSIPS yourself, I would say "do as much of the legwork yourself as you can". My NRC is grossly undermanned, but yours may be different.

I concur. Definitely undermanned and struggling with simple things like tending to members flank speed access. I helped 3 of my sailors with minute things like just changing their emails via RAPIDS. And I'm not even IT. Crazy man. Lol
It was a quicker process to getting things through. You may want to at least upload the birth certificates to verify your kiddos. However, I don't know how that works out when answering questions on custody of them if you are married.

If you can get everything together and head to a local CAC office, then I would go that route. You can get a bunch of the information completed yourself online in regards to entering in the dependants, but you will need to provide copies of the birth certificates, marriage license, and so forth. If you have them in pdf form, then you can upload them within NSIPS.
For me personally, when I went to ODS back in March my kid were listed, but I haven't provided copies of the birth certificates yet. My pay wasn't affected at all since it showed I had the correct number of dependents within the payroll system. I plan to go to the local office and have them scan the documents into the system since I have paper copies and not pdfs.

March? What class were you in? 23030 or 23040?
