Much respect to my fellow weekend warriors out there. Balancing work and service responsibilities your job doesn’t understand is no easy task.

I’ve been doing the weekend warrior / consultant / family man balancing act for a long time now. I turned on networking if anyone wants to chat.

It's still no easy task when your job does understand. I do the same thing for the Army Reserve I do for Booz.

Hi Fishes,

There is a component,

ATCI Skill Bonus - 1.3 L

Does anyone have a broader idea on this, It is mentioned that it will be divided and payed out Quarterly. But is there any chances for revoking this component from my package?

So my unit (USAR) is doing in person Battle Assembly. Here's the crazy: Its a MUTA-8, so we all show up on Thursday at 0600. Half of us go to the range, half of us stay in the Reserve Center to do administrative tasks.
We flip that on Friday.

On Saturday, those that went to the range on Thursday come in, and they do virtual battle assembly on the Sunday. Flip that for those who went to the range on Friday.
Unit is in MD, I live in VA, range is in VA, and mo buses, so I cross the bridge 4x

So are we all still doing virtual battle assemblies? I got paid for April and will get paid for May, and I did my online training during regular work hours since it counted for a work activity also.

Army Reserve here. Thinking about ditching firm provided health insurance for Tricare Reserve Select. Wife currently undergoing treatment for stage 3 breast cancer, so I'm naturally reticent about messing with health stuff.
