OK, I'm happy to get more specific via PM, but for now...
I'm trying to go SELRES, and hoping to join a USMC unit which has detachments around the US. Unit A is 300 miles away, and has a robust Navy detachment. Unit B is right down the street, but just started as a unit this FY, so the Navy det is EMPTY.
-According the USMC TO&E, the unit is authorized a few CWO3's and Corpsmen.
-I've met with the unit and taken the PFT w/them, and they're trying to figure things out on their end.
-I've called BUPERS, and one of the community managers finally told me "just talk to the OSO, and he can can change things so you (an O-4 URL) can fill that Navy CWO3 billet".
-The community manager suggested I contact the general JOAPPLY email address, which I did right away. (I'm sure they'll get right back to me...)
-I've called the XO of the local NOSC to see if he might be able to shed some light on it, since I imagine the NOSC in city "A" would be responsible for the Navy det assigned to city "A", but no response yet.
Sorry for being vague. The OTHER USMC unit has been great, so I'm trying not to step on their toes. If the closer one doesn't work out, I'll gladly do the commute.
Thanks in advance, and if it's any consolation, I do feel a little sleezy even asking...
