What is state OCS?

like

Officer candidate school for National Guard. It is „part-time“, you do not go through the traditional course of three months, but it is 2 annual trainings for 2 weeks and one weekend a month for the duration of the program until you commission

Ya for sure

I've been looking at it but I hear the attrition rate is insanely high, to the point where I don't even know why some states run a part time program at all.

Hi Fishes,

Is there a minimum tenure that one has to serve in ZS to ask for office transfers? (within India)

And how often do they get accepted and the general sentiment by the management when one asks for it?

Assuming that my team works from Pune (and i like the job scope) but would like to relocate to Bangalore office (hometown) once the team stabilizes and processes are in place.

Would love to talk with you on DMs if you have any experience similar to this.

TIA!

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?
