My unit just made their deployments no longer voluntary, anyone that’s qualified is now going. You don’t get your bonus until you’re fully qualified. Flight lag is exactly that, you have to be flying, not just at drill weekend. You have the 12 drill...

Does anyone know how often the boards meet? I just finally submitted official paperwork to my recruiter a few weeks ago, waiting on a MEPS date. I know I probably won't be submitted to a board until next year, just wondering how often they meet?
He's been good about answering me via text I've found out, and he did outline the steps for me. I'm working as a travel nurse right now and I'm planning on taking a permanent job close to the base near me if/when I'm able to commission. It's just a h...
