That's not acting in good faith....how the general circumstances can still happen when acting in good faith- guy gets an OJI at his civvy job years ago, doesn't report it to the Navy

Roger. I wasn’t thinking hard vs easy, I was more thinking desk vs non-desk. I would count the “US State-Worldwide Deployable” as non-desk.No.
Again, an administrative nightmare that won't really 'fix' anything as CONUS and 'good deal' MOB's can be pretty hard to almost impossible to differentiate from 'hard' ones. I was deployed to a country on my last MOB and it was an 'easy' one, but just a few miles away a buddy of mine had a much harder MOB. And some of the folks from my reserve unit got tagged for some particular CONUS billets and worked harder than almost anyone else, with periodic trips 'downrange'.
It is pretty to make things 'fair' in the military, with much of your career based on luck and timing. Trying to do that with MOB's would cause more problems than it is worth.
Let's be real, Navy doesn't act in good faith 100% of the time either.
The only issues I've ever had were with the NOSC not reading a policy or instruction and then acting out of ignorance.Let's be real, Navy doesn't act in good faith 100% of the time either.
You clearly have not had the pleasure of working with NOSC San Diego.The only issues I've ever had were with the NOSC not reading a policy or instruction and then acting out of ignorance.
Nope, but in the end, it is up to us to run things up the flagpole for resolution. I have found, unfortunately, that many are unwilling or are unable to do that which is needed. I've only had to mention "my intent is to escalate to the RCC Regional Commander" once in my career. Everything else has been clarifying and educating on policy and instruction.You clearly have not had the pleasure of working with NOSC San Diego.
...or NOSC Washington, "The largest in the Reserves" also at times to be the most undermanned.You clearly have not had the pleasure of working with NOSC San Diego.
If you’re an 0-4, once you have 20 years, you will get a letter that says you must ask for continuance or submit for retirement.. Just follow the directions on the letter.. That was 2013 so it may have changed but unlikely. Also call BUPERS and make sure you haven’t screwed up and actually have 20 good years.For those that are on the other side, looking to clarify when you can actually stop drilling once you've submitted retirement. When you've hit 19 have hit 50 points for your 20th year and have requested retirement in NSIPS, can you say transfer me to the VTU and give me AAs the rest of the way?

Why not just sign into BOL and check your points in ASHOSH? What does calling them tell you what checking the points board does not?If you’re an 0-4, once you have 20 years, you will get a letter that says you must ask for continuance or submit for retirement..

They owe you a letter when you have a good 20 years, so if you don’t get the letter, something is off in the system. A quick call to Millington up front can avoid many, many calls on the backside. Think of it as a GCA even though you are flying GPS-guided approach. Warm and fuzzy…Why not just sign into BOL and check your points in ASHOSH?

Great, another piece of paper that I'm dependent on big Navy for... for something vitally important. There's no way that happens in a timely manner.They owe you a letter when you have a good 20 years, so if you don’t get the letter, something is off in the system.

Take heart. Big Navy issues those pieces of paper monthly, and I’d wager most people get theirs with no fuss, or you’d be hearing a lot more about this. Doesn’t mean you WON’T see issues, but I’d bet the majority of pending retirees don’t.Great, another piece of paper that I'm dependent on big Navy for... for something vitally important.
