Shakespeare-

What state are you in?

All Reserve units (Company level and above) should have a Career Planner appointed as a collateral billet. Each Reserve Battalion should have a school trained Career Planner usually AR attached to...

once you enroll in an MCI you can disenroll within 24 hours, otherwise you just have to wait until the MCI expires or just do the friggen thing.

I'm not sure if it ever became official, but weren't there plans to roll your belt into your official PME? At one point we were told that they were going to make it mandatory to be a specific belt...

Ok really dumb question-

The hourglass on the AFRM is for 10yrs of satisfactory service, just like the SMCR for ever 3 years. Why is my anniversery date for the AFRM different than my SMCR?

The most important question here is what unit are you with. If you are with a grunt unit, then it could be possible to switch MOS. If not, you would have to change units because your units T/O...
