You will, but that’s what I’ve heard

They are not enforced to pay. It's completely dependent on the company.

"Employers are not required to compensate employees for absences due to military service. An employee may elect to use any accrued vacation leave in lieu of unpaid military leave. However, an employer cannot require an employee to use vacation time for the purpose of military leave."

Yeah my company won't pay me nothin. It's basically counted as a long-form furlough. And tbh, if I'm going to OCS and flight school, I'm not stopping until I get my wings of gold, at which point the whole military leave thing becomes moot.

I’m hoping that means all those spots got allocated to this board

They just saw our applications and were like "Ahhhh! Nooo!!!! How can we say no to @Dboom85 or Smpl_dude?!?! We better just accept all of them lest naval aviation implodes without them!!"

I just missed the cutoff for this board, so now I get to wait 5 months instead of 3 ?

 

[csanfilippo9]

Yes it does !

Listen my recruiter told me this take it with a grain of salt but yeah august is gone. For all of you who studied and did well, congrats. But it is still a competition , no news yet , just relax.

Fair enough. Like I said take it with a Grain of salt . Recruiter told me it’s gone. I understand things go haywire.

 

[smpl_dude]

This entire process has been an exercise in patience

Best thing to do around here honestly.

they aren't enforced to pay you, just to keep your position. However some defense contractors will keep your pay and benefits going even after you start your military time....it depends on the company, but it seems like defense contractors include it as a part of your benefits package

Wow. No idea they still paid while you're away. But I would definitely look more into your policy closely because I feel like there is a very good chance you may have to pay the money back if you do not return within 5 years. As much as these Defense contractors love to support the troops, they aren't gonna give free money away if they're not getting anything in return.

 

[Mowgli]

Okay so definitely next week right? There’s no history of them going more than 5 weeks?

 

[FloridaDad]

Well if August is truly not happening then I fell less bad about MEPS delays pushing me all the way to November lol

 

[smpl_dude]

They said the same thing about the may board being cancelled back in like January. I wouldn't take it as granted until it's in writing.
