I am still drilling, primarily for the insurance now and into retirement. I have 17 years in the Navy, and will be able to cover my medical at a greatly reduced rate for my entire life, as long as I get 20 years of good service.

That's a good point. I'm only at 7 years and hadn't even thought of 13 years down the road yet.

I found that once i made Director it became utterly impossible to manage both careers and expectations, even though i was stubborn about making it happen. I often miss it and think about if i made the right decision, but BCG is the firm that pays the bills, not the few hundred bucks for a weekend of duty.

I'm Air Force reserves as an IMA. The flexibility is great, but getting paperwork done or getting a response from a human being in a reasonable amount of time is impossible.

I think I’m a unicorn 🦄 — I’ve been drilling in the Army Nat Guard for 13 years and I’ve been in consulting for most of that time. Deployed, did a 2 year full-time MBA, got married, had a few kids. Want to know the secret? (cont...)

Much sympathy BCG1.

Me! Transitioned to reserves and civilian life this past summer. Just got staffed on a project and trying to figure out when to do my days. Hopefully I can time it for when I'm not billing.

Still in the reserves.

I’m a first-time prospective lateral likely to get an offer shortly. I just received a lateral questionnaire that requests billable hours, rates, fees collected, etc. for the last three years.

One of the reasons I’m leaving my firm is there isn’t enough work in my group so of course my hours are low.

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
