If you are enlisting then the begining date should be all that you would have to worry about.  The end date is for when you retire or finish your time in.

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.

Tells you where you need to be and when.\n\nDon't know what your second question means.\n\n[ADDED]  Your detail doesn't help.  Just curious - is English your native language?

Some success and good luck related to service in the army could begin for you on November 24 2006 and last for about a year or till December 18 2007 (in other words, anytime during this period).\n\nArmy training could actually commence between December 06 2006 to January 16 2007 but I suppose other periods are possible as well but I won't list them because they are less important though remind yourself they are still valid.\n\nI don't know what you mean by 'ologest'.\n\nHope this helps for the betterment of Pakistan and ultimately a free world especially in neighbouring Afghanistan.

In the Canadian Forces Class A Reserves, it primarilly means that you will not get paid, or get any of the training you might receive by going there.\n\nNot to mention that you will miss out on the socializing that is commong amongst all soldiers, even reservists.  \n\nAlso, it will affect your military progression and selection for courses you might want, like, say, a PLQ or pre-deployment training.

I won't stoop low and say this is a dumb question but it is for your S-1.  I can't even remember if it's actually in a regulation.  You may have already been told this but I believe it's 5 days before you start leave.  If you're having problems with your S-1, see if your MILPERS,PSB or Transition Center can answer that question.  They should have a memo regulating the timeline for clearance.  You'll have to clear your unit before the installation so you'd probably start clearing before the 5 days.  But again, I don't think there's a regulation just command policy memo's.

It means that you can't get certain VA benefits. Additionally, if you go AWOL make sure you stay gone longer than 31 days, that way you get DFR and the Army should just let you go. If they catch you before that, you could get in serious trouble.\n\nThat all being said...DON'T DO IT! Talk to someone first. Do the honorable thing and finish your enlistment.  It's not worth it in the long run.  Think of your honor and your integrity.  What would you eventually tell your children?  \n\n"I was a coward so I ran?"  "Look at me kids!  Use me as your example of how you should be in life. When something gets hard - RUN!"\n\nDon't do it to yourself. If you want to talk, go see a chaplain or talk to me for crying in a bucket.

The causes for rejection for enlistment under the current instruction simply states:  Chronic history of academic skills or perceptual defects, secondary to organic or functional mental disorders that interfere with work or school after the age of 12.  Current use of medication to improve or maintain academic skills are disqualify factors with out a medical waiver from the branch of service for which you are applying.  \n\nIn other words, you have to build a case based on the “whole person” concept.  Did you graduate? What was your school attendance like?  What were your grades like?  Where you on MEDs?  If so, when? You’ll need all the med docs, academic and attendance records. Are you currently employed… \n\nNow, based on everything you said, recruiters don’t want to work somebody that is questionable qualified.  If its just ADD, and you are off MEDS, this really shouldn’t be a problem.  How did you do on the ASVAB or practice test?  Do you have a police record?  Can you pass the drug test?  Are you going to go to MEPS and talking about “I have nothing to lose and nothing to come back for. It is my sole purpose in life to fight and die for the perfect bitches.”?  This will disqualify for a psych eval all in it’s self?\n\nI hope this helps explain.  Now that that information and go find a recruiter.  Sell yourself.  Your worth it!

Go to your State Defence Force. If not on the web, get the phone book. They have the same ranks as the army, but you are appointed your rank by what you have sone in the military or your civilian life, like experience.

I think this is a good question! Let me try to tackle the facts here, and then I willl explain why it is a good point...\n\nWhen a person enlists - they do so for 8 years no matter what. For example if you enlist for 4 years active duty - it is what is known as a 4x4 enlistment - 4 yrs active / 4 yrs inactive or IRR (Inactive Ready Reserve). You have the option of joining a Reserve unit after that active time and filling out the rest of your contract, or you can just go into the IRR.\n\nDue to the President calling a Partial Mobilization, a 'Stop Loss' goes into affect which can apply to the following... A unit that has been notified it will be deploying, a critical MOS, a by-name list.\nFor example; Jane Smith did 4 yrs active duty, then you joined a Rerve unit when she got out, the reserve unit was notified they will deploy (an alert)...Even though Jane Smith only has 4 months left until she ETS's, she will be retained due to the Stop Loss - she will deploy and be able to get out once the unit returns...In essence she will be held over a year past her ETS date.\n\nThe military is quick to make ammendments to a contract by the secretary of Def's pen. Yet if you break your end of the deal you are punished.... I have been in the military over 10 yrs, and I think this has been the most abusive administration on Soldier's rights that there has ever been. It's a shame because it will damage the military strength and trust for years to come. \n\nPersonally I am calling it quits next year when I ETS - unless of course I am Stop Loss and Deployed again (in which case I will fight it because there is a 24 month cumulative cap that a reservist can be called). I call it a backdoor draft - some call it what they will.

Wow! I cannot believe the answers of these people who don't know what in the heck they are talking about here!!\n\nEVERY first enlistment into the Army is for EIGHT YEARS. Those 8 years are usually split into two categories - active duty years and individual ready reserve years.\n\nMy first enlistment was for 4 years. What this means is that I am required by contract to stay in the Army on "active duty" status for 4 years. Once those 4 years are up, I am placed on "individual ready reserve" status for the remaining 4 years. This means that although I have completed my 4 year active duty requirement, I am placed in a pool that can be recalled to active duty for the length of the individual ready reserve status.\n\n* If you initially enlist for 2 years active duty, you spend 6 years in individual ready reserve status.\n* If you initially enlist for 3 years active duty, you spend 5 years in individual ready reserve status.\n* And so on, and so on...

If you were denied under 214(b), it actually means that you did not convince the interviewing officer that you will not stay on after your studies in the US are over.  If you genuinely do intend to go home when you graduate, you need to be able to explain very clearly and in detail how you plan to use your US education in your own country.

That depends on you.  Do you feel that the Army, or any other branch of the military, can help you in your endeavors?  The military has a lot to offer, and you can take it far.  The military, however, is also not for everyone.  There can be long hours, but we have a lot of time off for that.  You could be sent to war, or not.  \n\nYou need to get all the information you can get, and be honest with yourself about the reasons you are joining.  Read the material, don't just look it over.  Ask people who judgment you trust.  See if there are people in your area that are in the Army, and ask them.  REMEMBER, tho, there are always people that aren't happy with what they are doing.  Some people like the military way of life, others don't.\n\nLife is full of decisions.  Unfortunately, this is one decision that YOU have to make.

21-24. Most of them are fresh out of college, and there is generally an automatic time in service promotion at 18 months active army and 24 months reserve/NG to 1LT. I'm a 2LT in the Army and I'm considered kind of old at 24.

In the army we always started our logs @ 0000 and closed them out at 2400. so i'm not sure where your getting your info. the time 24:00:00 does, after all, only exist for one second and then becomes 00:00:01
