Question about TDY for OIF/OEF?
347751
Actually you do not get OHA if your living in BEQ.  You are entitled to COLA and BAH if you are married based on where your spouse is.  \n\nIf you are married you are also entitled to seperation pay and BAS married or not.\n\nTry getting a PAC and goin to the main Finance office whever you are.  Cola usually takes two months tocome through but you will get back pay to the 1st day in country.  Usually it's a finance screw up and the paper work didn't get processed.  Don't go to IG unless you have to.  You may need them later and they frown on people they see alot.\n\nGood Luck!

Well i would suggest that you visit your local VFW and speak to the services officer. He or she can help with the paperwork and will know who to call and what forms to fill out.\n\nRemember to bring a copy of your DD214 with.\n\nIf that doesn't seem to help shoot me an E-mail and i can try and take care of it for you.

As a member of the navy's delayed entry program, who leaves in august for bootcamp who also is trying to reclassify to SEAL after i was disqualified for my eyesight. I have eyesight of 20/40 and 20/75. If it's correctable, and MEPS doesn't fuck you like they did me whe they give you your eye exam and say it's uncorrectable....the only requirement regarding eyesight is that it HAS to be able to be CORRECTED to 20/20. As long as they tell you that it's correctable, and you fill out the appropriate waivers (ask your recruiter) then you should be able to class as SEAL. You might also be interested in EOD. If not then. go to your A school and work your regular job for 4 years, and reclass then. In all honesty, the Navy is hurting for SEALs, because not too many are qualified...I do believe that the current bonus for seals is around $40,000. Your local recruiter will probably tell you much of the same, but they'll be able to go into much more detail with you and your particular situation. Also, if your eyesight is correctable, your health insurance policy through the navy will provide LASIK eye surgery at no cost.

I would have to know exactly what you wanted to know.  There are several different sections on the ERB.  One shows when you were promoted to a certain rank, another shows all the duty stations you have been stationed at.  Another area shows if you have been stationed overseas and whether it was a long or short tour.  If you want to know something specific then you really need to ask the specific area you want to know about, but as the previous person said, your NCO should be able to answer the question for you.

Alright,  if you dep in then you actually take the oath twice(well most in the army do).  You actually don't owe the military(whatever branch it is) anything until you sign the dotted line.  Once you sign your contract, it's the same as any contract.  The difference is when you break a contract with say a regular privately owned company or buisness you go to court and if you never worked a day or recieved a dime for them the judge will probably say ok see ya later.  This contract is with the government so it's not so easy.  You can't get a Bad Conduct Discharge because you didn't do anything deemed "Bad Conduct" like felony illegal shit.  You would get at worst an under other than honorable conditions discharge which would still prevent you from getting student loans.  However you can appeal to have your discharge upgraded after a period of time.  My brother in law got the boot from the army for dealing drugs and after two appeals he now has an honorable discharge so just to put things in perspective.  Once you report to basic you have the ability to leave relatively painlessly except you will have to pay for the money they spent on you.  Once you graduate BCT(Basic Combat Training) you go into AIT(Advanced Individual Training).  That's when they "own" you.  They don't own you though.  You have one year to try to get a "failure to adapt" chapter.  The basic jist is don't sign unless you want to do it.  Understand what you're getting in to and don't take your recruiters word for gold cause it's there job to make you sign and they're good at it.  Hope this helps

Ok, some of these answers are correct, others aren't.\nFirst, your vision does not have to be perfect.  In fact, there was a recent rule made that allows for the pilot to wear soft contact lenses with vision as bad as 20/400 (check on that though...not sure if those are exact).  But with 20/40 vision correctable to 20/20.  Having had any civilian corrective eye surgery will disqualify you.\nYou need to be an officer to fly.  NROTC, the USNA, OCS or any other officer program (such as seaman to admiral--where you enlist then go into ROTC as an OC).  Right now I am in NROTC at the University of Memphis (Marine Corps Option) and I am hoping to get picked up 1390 (student naval aviator).  Your degree doesn't matter, as much as some say it does and I thought it once did.  I have 2 buddies who were picked up for avaition and have business finance degrees.  I know another that has a criminal investigation type degree.  Just do well at whatever you pick.  Many people say majors such as history do better than engineering majors because they can easily memorize stuff what is what you spend most of your time doing in flight school.\nBeing physically fit is important in getting into flight school.  Also being very healthy.  You will go through a couple of in depth physicals and the DoD doesn't want to spend millions training someone who is going to be discharged in a year because they are prone to illness/injury.\nSomeone said stay out of trouble:)  Yeah that's true,.  What is really funny is that there used to be a part of the ASTB (Aviation Selection Test Battery) that used to ask personal questions.  Some of them had to deal with stuff like "Have you ever gotten a ticket for speeding?" and if you answered that question "no," it was counted wrong.  They have since removed that section though.\nFlight School usually takes about 2 years. You spend about 2 months in IFS (Introductory Flight Screening) where you get your private civilian liscence and they see if you really have the potential to fly.  You can do that in an area around your ROTC unit or in Pensacola.  The rest of your actual flight training will be in Pensacola Florida.\nNaval aviators are the best in the world (that include Marine Corps pilots!).  Work hard to get there if you want it.\nContact me or IM me on AOL at smeagolyduck13 if you have any questions or would like to chat about flying.\nO, and as for the one poster above who said the Academy has the most aviation slots--I believe that is untrue.  The Academy trains you specifically to be a sailor and be in command on a ship. ROTC has a proven higher percentage of people who want to become pilots getting pilot.  In the past 10 years not one person in my unit that wanted and applied for aviation did not get it.\nGood luck

once you have signed yourself over to them you have to wait until your enlistment is up. it doesn't matter what branch you choose.

I can only speak to US Army Officer promotions. First, check out AR 600-8-29 (Army Regulation - I linked it below). Second, there are several unwritten rules regarding specific positions and OER (Officer Evaluation Reports) ratings that one has to have. Then there are the educational requirements (both OES - military schools - and civilian). If you would like, please feel free to email me @ sofgrant@hotmail.com and I will provide you with more specifics.

have you incurred the expenses already? are you going to be an officer, or are you planning to take classes after you have enlisted? or after you get out, my husband did his after he got out and there was no problem in them paying for his classes, there however was specific paperwork he had to fill out before he got into school and each semester to get the payments done.

Here ya go. I would assume that you are a unit operations apprentice. So this site should help out a little. Or at least point you in the right direction of your answer quest.

If the discharge was not dishonerable you can probably get it changed yourself.  If it was a general discharge just contact DOD.

talk to a recruiter = immigration shouldn't have anything to do with it, serving time depends on where, how long ago and for what, dont tell them you've ever done drugs, unless that's what you were doing time for (with the immigration waiver and the jail waiver, don't want to push it with trying to get a drug waiver too).  just talk to them, see what they have to say and go from there.  or check out the website for the navy and look under enlistment requirements

If you genuinely can't hack the AIT for the MOS you've selected, I believe you get to reclass for something that may be more your speed.  Otherwise, you get recycled to the next Co. coming through.  At least that's what happened in my unit.  I've actually never heard of anyone getting put out of the Army altogether.
