  1. Long term care to active duty?

    Kathyporter replied to GFzalez's topic in Government, Military

  5. How does initial and ongoing training work in reserves?

    Kathyporter replied to NSJodi's topic in Government, Military

  6. Complicated situation, is this possible?

    Kathyporter replied to Vanillanut's topic in Government, Military

  10. OBLC for 2010

    Kathyporter replied to New1LT's topic in Government, Military

  12. Got my Orders! Army Reserves

    Kathyporter replied to Kathyporter's topic in Government, Military

    My orders showed my constructive credit and time in grade. Your command assigns you to OBLC. That, I hear, can take awhile so you drill for awhile if you are a reservist, before

    Kathyporter replied to Vanillanut's topic in Government, Military

    Kathyporter replied to ksk33's topic in Government, Military
