Crossing the finish line... running, walking or crawling... (Reserve Retirement Process)

[taxi1]

Congrats! I can't believe it has already been 8 years since I last stuffed myself into a pair of khakis.

Congratulations! On the evening of the Sunday of my last MUTA 5 they basically said…”Well, bye.”

I kind of expected the same, so the quality of the event made for a nice surprise.

Now, 6 days after the fact, I remembered the title for this post and had to add something...

Wednesday February 1st was my first true day of retirement. Wouldn't you know it, I came down with the flu and had to cancel my retirement party for last Friday. I guess I literally crossed the finish line "crawling."

Congrats all the same.

Congrats!

Also, as a PSA, the Navy has rescinded it's policy of not involuntarily mobilizing reservists. 13xx's be warned, you'll probably get MOB'd at some point again if you're SELRES. VTU here I come.

I would like to find the SECNAV memo referenced in the message, but it's pretty clear they've reinstated involuntary MOBs.

Most despondent person I ever met was a post squadron SELRES CDR on a one year MOB to DJ, running base ops. That dude looked miserable.

It’s not a dry heat in DJ

Wonder what counts as “billet-based activation.” Of course it’s kind of moot, because who cares how ready you are for your billet if they’ve just fenced you off for 3-5 years by MOBing you anyway?

That was the whole point behind IA-to-Zero given 20+ percent of the force was in post-MOB dwell and untouchable. You can be Billy Badass all day long, but it doesn’t do the AC any good if they can’t touch you for 5 years.

Supposedly, says a former T-45 winging classmate of mine (who posted this info), this will be different than last time. NOSC selres beware

How so, did they say?

Any recent gouge on what the IRR classes for points life is like? Asking for me.

Pretty sure they kiboshed that. You’re only allowed to go IRR-ASP if you are within a service commitment (like the 8-year enlistment) or if you had over 16 years service by a certain date that’s way in the past. It’s SELRES or VTU-only for all intents and purposes now.
