Hey, I see you to. Thank you. 😄

I think you should make a video for those of us who are switching from active to reserves!! And possibly hit points when it comes to getting NJPs while in. I’m going reserves and didn’t know that I had to direct convert to a new rate or had to wait 48 months to choose what rate I wanted or was available. I just found this out from the prior service recruiter this past week about this

Ma'am, I am so glad I came across your page! I am in the process of applying to commission into the Navy Nurse Corp. I'm realizing I will be taking quite a pay cut by joining and leaving the civilian world. I'm a single Mom with a sm child and a mortgage. I've been considering the reserves now, so I won't lose out on my civilian pay? I would appreciate any input on this! Again, I appreciate the content your putting out!

Your ultimate goal is most important. Keep that in mind when making the decision.

The Active duty life is what really interests me but due to some responsibilities at home the reserve competent is what would fit best in life for me. With that in mind how likely (or unlikely) would it be for me In the reserves to get selected to go on deployments abroad? My understanding is that it’s voluntary and in my case I would want to do those things. Could I volunteer for deployments or assignments outside of my regular duties and actually stand a chance of getting on a ship? is this a competitive process? Is it even common is for the average reserve Sailor to be selected for those assignments if so. That was a little unclear to me in this video, Thank you in advance!

You can request a mobilization or regular orders anywhere between a few days and a few years. Going on a ship depends on many factors. Sometimes it’s who you know and other times it’s what unit you are attached to. Due to COVID I can’t say what is normal, slow, or quick. Many things have changed. In regards to being active of Reserve, think about how the benefits will best fit you.

I'm trying to understand the Early Retirement process. If I have 15 years Active service and want to finish my last 4 years in the Reserves(SELRES), would retirement pay be reduced by 15 years from age 60. So I'd get it at at age 45?

@NavyTransitionCoach

Жыл бұрын

Great question. Unfortunately I do not know and I highly doubt it. The earliest age I've heard is 55ys old. I'm sure you have a reason to want to finish your last 4 years in SELRES but it would be fiscally beneficial to spend that time on active duty so that you can collect retirement pay asap not matter your age. The Reserves won't even allow you to do any type of active drilling or orders once you hit 16 years. Meaning it won't be beneficial to you but for retirement only.
