Hey ladies, my son was able to go Active Reserve and he got Orders to Joint Base McGuireDixLakehurst in NJ, one of the new "efficiency through consolidation" bases. His reserve unit was formerly in PA. Its a huge active duty base that also supports reserve units. Anyway they built them all new facilities and housing.

A new MARADMIN came out re Active Reserve Tues.
MARADMIN 124/11

Now they do state that the bonus does not apply to lat moves.
