sTUPID qUESTIONS aBOUT ocs

The COP has a series of yes-no questions and the way they've been explained is that, answering yes is like a demerit that likely won't but could impact your FINSEL. One of those questions is whether you've told your employer your ship date.

I also haven't been personally interviewed yet for my background check. I'll probably just tell my employer and bite the bullet on the COP form. Just wanted to see if anyone had any alternative input.

Thanks though!

Yeah idk how not telling your employer could affect you, but they’ll have to find out at some point. Either way, I’d take a look at those rights and at least kinda familiarize yourself with them in case anything happens.

FWIW, I didn’t tell my employer until everything was official and I had my orders to OCS, and that was about 2 or 3 weeks before I shipped out. I don’t even think they were interviewed because they legit didn’t know about anything until I told them.

Anyway, lmk if I can help and I’ll do my best to answer

Thanks I really appreciate that. I'm planning to tell them sooner because I'm planning on leaving a bit prior to when I'll probably get my orders mostly to move stuff home, focus on prepping some more, and do a bit of traveling (I plan to leave end of June when my lease ends and expect my orders in July and my expected OCS date is August 23).
