Also you mentioned as a reservist you control your schedule but i have been hearing that now reservist are being required to do an specific amount of time if going abroad, let's say dispatchers force you to get 1 or 2 years minimun if you request orders overseas, how true is that?

You are considered a 'Veteran' after, I believe, 90 days of active duty service. Your veteran status is good. You have FLEXIBILITY to a certain extent of course. Some things you have no control over, like how many drill weekends that are required per year. Most of the time the Navy Reserves works in your favor. In my opinion, it's seldom that it does not. That's why I like the Navy Reserves so much. The people who have done more active duty time while in the Reserves are the ones that are on orders from a few months to a year. This could be anything. Deployment (not on a ship), volunteer orders, etc.

@LauraZorza

4 жыл бұрын

Yordan Montero, technically, you are considered a Veteran after 180-days on consecutive service (so you already meet the requirement). Those that go to boot camp and straight into the Reserves will receive a DD-214 once they leave Active Duty for your Reserve career. The DD-214 is a requirement for most benefits that a “Veteran” is entitled too (burial benefits, VA benefits, etc). There are different requirements for a “Veteran” status depending on the benefit, but 180-days is the magic number overall. Some NOSC (Navy Operational Support Center) allow you to resked (reschedule) your drills, but most do not. You are there for the Navy to fulfill your training, not the other way around. As far as going overseas, as she previously stated, you are on orders, which 95% of the time you pick. Orders overseas for your AT (Annual Training ) are longer due to travel time. I always had my Sailors do the full 29-days of AT permitted per year.

How do you like reservist ?

Hi, I have questions about the medical benefit of being a reserve. Is the medical benefit the same plan as the full-time active duty US Navy member except that reserve has to pay out of the pocket of about ~$30 - 50 a month? Do you get an annual medical credit and that amount of credit can be used toward co-pay for doctor or specialist (such as dermatologist or eye doctor) visit, medicine, and Lasik surgery?

@NavyTransitionCoach

3 жыл бұрын

Great questions. The biggest difference between active and reserve medical coverage is that you have to pay for reserve coverage but with active duty, you do not. Also, reserve coverage allows you to see non military doctors for care, with active coverage you can not without permission. I’ll have to direct you to the Tricare website to better answer the rest of your questions tricare.mil/TRS

Can you join the reserve as a commissioned officer? And how would that work considering having a full time job already?

I just found out also that if you have any student loan, the military can pay for it up to 65K if you join as Active Duty, but you have to make sure it's in the contract during the time of sign up. My friend got screwed up by his recruiter and it was not on the contract. Now there is nothing that he can do.

I am interested in the naval reserves as to which the Navy does not enable National Guard. I like how flexible the reserves are, and how you are able to move across state lines, as opposed to the National Guard. With COVID-19, my car got repossessed and my credit got dinged. I’m looking into the military to get things back together. To boost my credit, and to hopefully buy my first house.

Former Navy Reservist here: you can easily move to another city or state without much issue. Just let your NOSC know that you plan to move to another city and reach out to the closest NOSC in the new city to do what is called a TRUIC change so that the former NOSC isn't responsible for mustering you for drill periods as it could cause pay issues as well as accumulating UAs. 9 UAs or more is considered "a bad year" and too many UAs can lead to separation. If your credit is too bad you might not be able to get and maintain a security clearance which financial reasons are 70% of why sailors and marines lose their clearances which also can lead to separation.

It is true, it's hard to make rank as an HM at this time (things will change). However, in my opinion it doesn't matter AS LONG AS you have goals that you will work towards. Ex: you only joined for medical and dental. Your goal is not to compete but to ensure that you continue to receive medical and dental. But, I will say making rank does play a huge part in whether you will be allowed to stay in the Navy after a certain period of time. In the Reserves HYT is much higher than active, which is great. 6 to 8 years for an E4. This is also why it's IMPERATIVE to take advantage of the opportunities given to you to make rank. Like passing the tests at basic training. That's EASY MONEY/RANK. Just my 2 cent. 😉

FY20 SELRES Quotas for the next advancement cycle: HM3 is 100% HM2 is 15.48% (that’s 100 advancements out of the 646 eligible) HM1 is 7.83% (that’s 45 out of the 575 eligible) Study and you can advance, as long as you have a quota available. 90% don’t study... be in the top 10%.

Zanda Williams, you are correct. You drill two days per month, which is equal to 4-days of Active Duty pay. You are required to complete your two weeks of Annual Training (AT), which can be anywhere between 12-29 days per year. I always pushed my Sailors to max out at 29-days per year. One retirement point per day you drill. More points = more retirement $$. ***FYI - I was the SEL (Senior Enlisted Leader / Command Chief) for my unit. I was responsible for all aspects of 200+ Sailors, evaluations, advancement exams, awards, orders, training, etc. Some NOSC (Navy Operational Support Center) have extra funding for Reservist to do additional training days. I had a few Sailors out of 200+ in my unit that completed extra days on what they call ADT (Active Duty for Training) orders. It is also rare for a Reservist to set their own schedule. You are there to be apart of the team, so you drill on the drill weekend with your unit. You must submit a special request chit to RESKED (reschedule). Occasionally, I would approve a RESKED, but the needs of the Navy always come first. I have some videos on the Reserves on my channel and will be making many more.

Zanda Williams, yes. The first contract for everyone that serves in all branches is “technically” 8-years. You do 4 or 5 years depending on the job you pick in the Reserves and then you either 1) re-enlist - OR - 2) you go IRR for the remaining years on your 8-year contract. IRR (Individual Ready Reserve) is when you no longer drill, but will be the first to be recalled to service IF we go to war.

The Post 911 (Forever) GI Bill pays 100% of tuition, books, and living expenses; however, you need 36-months of Active Duty to receive 100% of this benefit. If you do 90-days up to 6-months on Active Duty orders you will qualify for 40% of this benefit; 6-months up to 12-months on Active Duty orders qualifies for 50% of this benefit, 12-18-months is 60%, etc. NOTE: Your boot camp and A-School active duty time does NOT count until you do 24-months of Active a Duty orders elsewhere.

Unfortunately no, not unless you are on active duty orders for longer than 30 days. That would allow you to have BAH.

Yes. However you can not collect Reserve Pay and disability on the same day. You have to pick which one you want to receive. The NRC (formerly the NOSC) will have that document for you.

@@asia130, someone that enlists in the Reserves who has never served on Active Duty, joins under the NAT (New Accession Training) program. Here is the instruction with more information: www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/reference/milpersman/1000/1100Recruitinig/Documents/1133-090.pdf There are two different types of Reservists: FTS (Full-Time Support), which are Reservists, BUT their entire contract is on Active Duty. Their purpose is to train and support Reservist. And then there are SELRES (Selected Reserves), which drill one weekend a month and 2-weeks per year (average of 62-days per year). There are other acronyms / terms you will hear, but the KEY thing to know when signing a contract is SELRES (NAT Program). EXAMPLE: I am currently working with four Sailors that “thought” they were going to boot camp, then A-School, and then returning home to be a “drilling Reservist” (SELRES) and live their civilian life. However, they are shocked to find out they have orders for 4-years and report to the Fleet. Reason is they signed an FTS contract.

@@yup.itsadilene9258 You sign up for Reservist before you go to the Bootcamp, not afterward. Make sure your contract said that. Make sure your recruiter knows that. You only qualify for a single BAH as Reservist if you qualify for one of the following conditions: (1) You own a property or your name is one of the owners of a real estate property. If you are not, consider having your family add your name in there before you sign any contract. (2) You have an existing non-expiring rental agreement. If your family or you rent a place, consider using your name in the rental contract instead. If your parents rent you a place in their house, you need to put it in the contract. I don't know anyone using parents' rental contracts as proof to claim a single BAH, but it makes sense to me. Please be aware that they might ask for the payment record if you choose option 2.

Don’t you have an obligation to work at least once a month plus 2 weeks a year in the reserves? How could you just say “nah I’m not coming into work”?

@NavyTransitionCoach

Yes, one weekend a month and 2 weeks a year. Because you have the USERRA Act that protects you from getting fired from your job while performing military duties, you can essentially (not literally) go perform military duties and say “I’m not coming into work” at the civilian job. Everything should be done with tact and order. I just have a colorful way to get my point across.

@@jaylove1931 Lol, the only obligation is the 1 weekend (Saturday and Sunday) per month and 2 weeks (14 days) per fiscal year (October to October). Now be aware that your name goes in a pot to be drawn for mobilization. It just means you’ll be working active duty for 6 to 9 months if they pick your name. This is all random. Some people never get their names drawn, some people volunteer, some people get picked more than once. Also, some units have their own deploying schedules which is something to be aware of.

Sheily Delagdo, Chapter 1606 is the Reserve GI Bill, which is only $392 per month for full-time students. You still pay for your tuition, books, living expenses. You need to commit to completing 6-years in the Reserves to use this benefit. The Post 911 (Forever) GI Bill pays 100% of tuition, books, and living expenses; however, you need 36-months of Active Duty to receive 100% of this benefit. If you do 90-days up to 6-months on Active Duty orders you will qualify for 40% of this benefit; 6-months up to 12-months on Active Duty orders qualifies for 50% of this benefit, 12-18-months is 60%, etc. NOTE: Your boot camp and A-School active duty time does NOT count until you do 24-months of Active Duty orders elsewhere. Tuition Assistance (TA) in the Navy Reserves - You must have 2-years Time-in-Service (TIS) before applying AND you MUST be on Active a Duty orders for 120-days or more.
