I don’t even know why I’m surprised. Im sure the way the Army is handling this won’t have ANY impact on future retention.

If any of these aviators are reading this, shoot me a message. Happy to look at this and represent you pro bono fighting the Army if there’s a case to be had here.

I will never forget as an O2 when they changed the standardized promo timeframe to O3 pushing it back another year. If a civilian received notice of a change in trajectory, they could leave the next day. Real way to boost morale for all those forward deployed PLs and XOs who suddenly had to hear their O3s say things like, “I mean it’s probably for the best,” like bro you willing to give up your tracks and paybump you just got 2 mos ago?!?!

Apparently all parts of aviation — both civ and mil — are hurting for qualified pilots. I do not condone what the Army did, but it will thoroughly discourage and likely worsen the looming crisis for pilots. Knowing they Army, they might mandatorily extend future pilots' contracts, making things even worse.

I'd like to say "They'll learn the hard way.", but — they won't.

This happened to several folks who went to BUD/S unsuccessfully a few years ago. They were told to wait until the end of their contract to be released to go to buds, signed an obliserve to train (agreement to reenlist on school completion, but assumption if you failed out you'd either request to reclass or be separated at the end of their current contract). Center strung together some clauses to say every week in training equaled a month additional time. People rang out expecting to get separated only to find they were serving another 18 months undesignated. One guy literally left the meeting and tried to kill himself.

Will an MBA set me apart? I have a BS in Marketing from top 15 undergraduate business program with a 3.8 gpa, 2 years work experience (3 by the time I’d enroll), and scored in the 63rd percentile on the gmat. This qualifies me for an average business school (ranked below ~50). My goal is to move into a management position within the next 5 years and eventually move into a director or c-suite role. At your companies, do most upper-level marketing employees have an MBA? Is it from a top school?

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?
