Question about options after Accessions (self.ROTC)

gg_hyuna_kim が 投稿

Got assessed army reserves. When I accepted my 4 year Scholarship in 2011 I didnt do choose to attend a top tier University and attend shit like Airborne School to serve my country in the Army Reserves. What are my options now regarding enlisting active duty, cross branching, getting another branch to get me out of my contract etc.
NOTE: Please leave your personal opinion out of it because I dont give a fuck if you think its whining or youre tired of people complaining about reserves.

It's a risky post, cotton. Let's see how it plays out in the end.

The NSA is tracking me as we speak

we had a couple people last year who assessed reserves. They attended a top tier school, and did high speed schools including combat diver and air assault. "You get what you get and you dont throw a fit." Welcome to the Army, its their needs, not yours.

Well when I see people with a lower score on here that got AD i think I have perfect reason to not be satisfied. Im not a 2LT yet so I can have all the fit I want and look at pursuing other options. Im looking for information not your sassy ass little closing sentence

Not my opinion, its the Army's. Pick up the Army Times you smelly son of a bitch, we are downsizing and you didnt make the cut. You're obviously in denial, sucks to suck. If you want to make a difference, go talk to your PMS, you know, the person who is in charge of you? Called a chain-of-command? Weird, didn't know we had one.

If you try to get out of you're contract at this point you'll have to pay the whole thing back. I would try to go for AGR. Sure it's competitive and you'll have to wait a while and find a job when you graduate, but it's better than trying to pay your contract back.

Thanks dude Ill talk to my guard guy tomorrow. What exactly is AGR

[–]duck_shuck 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Active Guard/Reserves. They don't have combat arms branches, but it's still active duty. From a quick google search here's info from goarmy.com. If you scroll down they have info for officers: http://www.goarmy.com/careers-and-jobs/current-and-prior-service/continue-serving/army-reserve-prior-service/active-guard-reserve.html

BLUF: AGR jobs for a brand new LT are tiny. Guard units will post them right on their state website.

Honestly, the time to worry about accessions was the last 3+ years you spent at your top tier university, not now. Your OML score was almost 100% within your control. If you couldn't manage a score in the mid-70's, then Reserves is what you deserved. Telling people not to bitch at you for whining doesn't change the fact that you're being a whiny bitch.

Actually there were people at my school with 73- who got active so.... you're non constructive criticism is a little flawed for his/her post.... try again

[–]chitter10790 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

And that was PRE drop so.....

[–]Jcc123 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (3子コメント)

It's actually very constructive. Anyone who waits until after they've been accessed to worry about how to get active duty displays a pretty concerning lack of judgement. It's not that freaking difficult to get a reasonable GPA, do some PT, attend CULP, do Ranger Challenge, etc. If the OP wasn't aware of what he needed to do for the last three years, he's either got extraordinarily shitty cadre, an appalling lack of motivation, or both.

[–]chitter10790 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (2子コメント)

A girl got active with a 2.7 gpa.... Your excuse is invalid....

[–]Jcc123 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

My excuse? If you're talking to me, sorry - not a cadet, but when I was, I got AD. My son who accessed this year managed a 93.5 and got AD infantry. Your excuse is bullshit.

[–]chitter10790 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh really neither am I and yes I'm talking to you. But it seems as though it's been a while since you yourself have been accessed so I understand your confusion. Also they were giving out infantry to guys who only made 82 so.... But I'm sure your son is great

I had a mid 70s score. I asked for information not for you to be a dick.

[–]duck_shuck 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Was that your score before or after the 6-point drop in late October that everybody got? If that was your original score that would put you in the 68-71 range, right about where the cutoff is.

Well, as you found out today, you don't always get what you want.

Aint that the goddamn truth

[–]pkarmy6 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

What did ya want in the AD side?

[–]gg_hyuna_kim[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I wanted infantry but I knew it was a fat chance with my gpa. I honestly would have been happy with anything. My top three were infantry, quartermaster, and FA.

[–]Amojodojo 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Go talk to a recruiter. Talk to more than one. See if you can reject your commission and enlist. They'll just make you pay back your FTA. I'm not certain if this is possible or what hoops you have to jump through, but I would bet there's a chance.

As for cross branching (?), getting another branch, I don't think that's in the cards.

[–]JolexMerson64 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

He can refuse the commission if he really feels that he would prefer being enlisted active duty than an officer in the reserves. From what I've been told it is something to take to your school's HR person. Like you said, he's going to owe back the money invested into him as well as owe time in as enlisted (that's in the contract that we all signed). In the end it's his choice of what he wants to do with his life.

[–]Birdroo 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (6子コメント)

You're so funny, you need to focus all of your efforts on breaking your contract now and paying the money back. You want advice yet you aren't mentally mature enough to face reality. Get out now, the Soldiers are going to pay deeply for this one!

[–]gg_hyuna_kim[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

If you have nothing better to do than belittle people that didnt get active duty on reddit youre probly gonna be an amazing army officer

[–]gg_hyuna_kim[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (4子コメント)

What worries me most is alot of you on reddit are quick to attack a mans character and you dont even know me. Its scary to think that one day young men and womens lives are going to be in your hands in garrison and on the battlefield

[–]Birdroo 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (3子コメント)

It's scary that this conversation even took place. You should've been grateful for the opportunity to earn your commission instead of trying to find ways to get out of it. You showed your character with your response to everyone offering advice.

[–]gg_hyuna_kim[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

You think youre so high and mighty. Conversation over, see you on th other side

[–]Birdroo 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I've been on the other side for quite awhile. I'd prefer to see you in my office. Goodnight.
