obviously not, I just do that so people know exactly who I am addressing, its pretty standard forum etiquette most places on the internet, but if nobody else here does that then I'll stop.

@SLEDGE HAMMER

If I wanted it any other way I would be looking somewhere else.

Good for him,
so basically just be careful, talk to my SL/TL and make sure I get credit for the time? Won't it make it sort of weird for my leadership knowing I used to be an Officer? Will I be treated differently? I would prefer as few people know as possible.

@Jim With all due respect, the commission is for some people, I am not one of these people. I have a list of reasons why I want to give up my commission, I have considered the pros and cons, and the cons are things I can live with. This wasn't a snap decision it was something that has been in the ba...

@Zone IV I graduated from an Early Commission Program, its a program authorized by the United State Army to commission 2LT's into the Guard and Reserve after achieving an Associates Degree, it began in Vietnam, and should have been scrapped after Vietnam, but some nostalgic old timers decided to kee...

Whom with Admins should I be asking about this? I imagine that once I am junior enlisted again wandering about hounding various NCO's about credit for NG time would be frowned upon.

@SLEDGE HAMMER The specific reason is my Brigade Commander put the kabosh on me going. I was slotted for IOBC and Airborne by my training NCO. but my orders were denied at Brigade level. I am a graduate of the ECP program. When we enter a unit within the Guard, KW Driver is correct, it is up to that...

Long story short, its a little known fact that I am allowed to attend OBC as long as I presently hold a slot within the unit (which I do), but I was denied this opportunity by higher, and there are presently no plans to send me to OBC ...

@KW Driver At this point they could offer OBC/promotion/Ranger School/ to make me Grand General of the National Guard and I wouldn't stay. Combat Arms is a labor of love for me, even though I haven't been at it that long, its what I love doing and its not about the money. The idea that apart from a ...

Thanks for the input, I just got off the phone with Regiment Recruiting and Retention, and I was told that a recruiter can get me an Option 40 contract it just depends on how long I am willing to wait. They are presently looking for 25B for example and if you are willing to be an IT guy apparently y...

I realize this is probably beating a dead horse by now, but I haven't seen this covered anywhere else. I am an Officer in the Guard. I came out of a MJC so I am not fully commissioned yet, I hold a commission in the Army National Guard as a 2LT ( I drill with a unit, and work as a PL, but I can't ge...
