Michael, they are NOT tied to your designator, not anymore anyway. Take ANY COURSE you want! Please go back & read my post from a few weeks ago. Chief Rincon in charge of the IRR Counselors told me the "Fields of Training" NO LONGER applies.

Got it, thanks. Reading through this thread it is somewhat easy to be overly cautious watching your 6. 3 more years and done!

Thanks again.
Thanks. I started at page and am reading back to page 21 so far. Lots of great gouge.
I understand Michael. I'm in my 20th year right now & have 40 points already credited to this year. I've got 55 total with my gratuity points. I'll do some more but it feels fantastic to know I made it!! 20 good years!!
Hang in there! It feels great to get there. It feels better then I thought it would.

Congrats to you! It's 2 weeks of CC crunch time for me..... can't WAIT to get to the finish line.

Has anyone found one of the web browsers to be least clunky when accessing JKO? For instance, J30PMN1225 gets hung up about every 5-6 slides using IE. Chrome and Opera both block JKO.

Disregard. Later on JKO posted a banner message saying that their system was having latency issues affecting the entire system. Has anyone else found that "J3OPMN1225- ISAF" gets hung up after the first module? If so, did you find a fix to progress on?
I noticed that some of the courses on FEMA (Emergency Management Institute Independent Study) have similar but slightly different course numbers from the approved point list. For example, on the approved point list, there is IS-0660A, Introduction to Private-Public Partnerships ... However the actual course on the site is IS-0660 (without the A). There's some others where the version is one higher than the approved list. For example, IS-0241A on the list, but IS0241B on the site.
Does anyone know if PERS-92 is giving retirement points for these? Any issues?

I'm in a similar situation with 10 years combined. I'm in SELRES but would like to know if IRR (active status pool) versus VTU will be a viable option if I plug away (and can complete viable courses) for 10 years.
No. The Navy Reserves is actively throwing up roadblocks and has gotten rid of the vast majority of IRR courses - there is barely 3-4 years at the minimum 50 pts per year. If you want a reserve retirement, you must stay SelRes or VTU until you have 18 good years.
Incorrect. It's when they are received...they don't back credit points to the year the course was taken if the year has already closed out. I specifically asked that question of PERS. Now, that was 2 years ago...if somethings changed, I need to know because that screws up my whole plan.

Points are based on the date of completion.
I have completed courses the last day of year then submitted the completion certificates months later and I have submitted certificates from courses completed 2years previously that -912 never received. I received credit for all of them. And third: Pers-912 stated that its based on the date of completion not receipt.
They don't back credit in the situation where one year you earn 45pts and the next you earned 55. You can't take 5pts from this year and associate it for last year.
I will also point out that Pers-912 (actually all of NPC) routinely gives out wrong information and then blames the Sailor for following through on this answer and not knowing the real answer.

Is PERS going to poop out a new course list for the new FY?

... facility for offence.
I have also been patiently waiting for the same thing. This Summer I sent off a question to NRTC asking if their courses will be re-instated to earn Retirement Points.
NRTC responded by saying that N7 told them that NRTC courses that met the Points Requirements were on the newest iteration of the Authorized Points Listing and that the list was under review by ASECNAV.
As soon as it is Approved then the new list would be disseminated.
Again, that was back in the Summer. Now I understand that our Government is no Spring Chicken, but come on!
My "Starting to Feel Desperate" Mode is rationalizing that the new list will come out with the new Fiscal Year.
If it doesn't then I am afraid will advance to "Yup, this is Full-On Desperate" Mode.
Please PM me if you want more details (no much, just the official correspondence). (Open to anyone in this thread).
I'm confused. Scenario: I complete a course in November. My anniversary is December. I submit the certificate in January. Do the points count for the year I started in January or the previous year? I am operating under the assumption (based on conversations with PERS) that PERS would credit the points in the anniversary year in which PERS received them...not the year in which I completed them. Is there an instruction with this information?
