Need Advice ~ Army Reserves
October 8, 2005 | Jemian

Posted on 10/08/2005 3:50:46 PM PDT by Jemian

My son, also a freeper, just completed his BASIC and AIT training. He returned home Thursday night at 2200. He is supposed to report to his Reserve Unit within 72 hours.

But no one has been at his unit. JT's gone over there, telephoned and left call back numbers on the answering machine. He is worried about not making contact and being considered AWOL.

Has anyone ever experienced this? What is the usual plan of action?

At present he's planning to keep phoning through Monday, but not travel back there until Tuesday. It takes a little over an hour to get to his unit and doesn't want to spend the gas unless someone will be there.

On the first kill, I think you only get to keep the horns. I'm not sure why.

I think the Army Reservist should call his headquarters in D.C. and go active duty immediately because of all the trouble we are having in Iraq. I mean wow!! What a complete mess! It is ridiculous the level of incompetency that is present over there. They need help like yesterday!

ZOT

Does he have any way to contact the command he is en-route FROM? Maybe they can help.

is there anyone on the base or in another unit nearby that he can contact? That can at least log his contact attempts... though the answering machine, that should log his attempts too. but as long as he continues to make an effort to contact he should be fine...

I was initially over 48 hours late to my first active duty station. (weather issues..) But because I continued to attempt contact and advise them they took no action..

He should be alright...

Congrats on him getting through training and AIT.. Best of luck and Thank him for his service!

"I have been coming in here with multiple IP's over and over again."

Timothy J Toler, eh?
"Dynamic IP" eh?
If you're so smart, why do we keep catching you?

I'll eat my cornflakes AFTER I seal your soul in a jar you idiot.


"You cannot restrict free speech no matter how much you may want to."

So you boys won't object to me coming over to YOUR webforum and slamming you, right?
After all, it's free speech, right?
No?
Wow, how paper thin is your mask.
You DUmmies are something else.

"Not only that, but why are you deleting these free thoughts?"

Don't you use air freshener when someone farts?

"Are you afraid of what might happen to people like you if people are allowed to think freely?"

*chuhckle*
We think freely, you just cannot stand anyone thinking differently from you.
It burns you up so badly that you feel you must come back here time and time again to showcase how stupid you are.
You must be stupid because you keep coming back.

"You are sort of like a Nazi!"

No, that would be the Democrats insisting that, despite being the minority party, that their views be catered to.
Go look up history, you'll see the comparison is apt.
Besides, using the term "Nazi" is the sign of a desperate and losing debate.

Man o man, this is the first time that I have seen a single troll make three attempts so quickly. Despite his claims, he was vetted and squashed with great ease. What a flaming twit that troll was.

Yeah, so?
We'll just keep banning you, and ridiculing you.
C'mon, had enough yet?

When I first reported I was at least a week late. The week I got out of Basic and came back home, I had to start high school again (I was a split OP and AIT waited after I graduated high school). There was no one there because they went to an alternate meeting place for drill the previous weekend and the Battery First Sergeant was out of town and my platoon SGT was unreachable too.

No big deal honestly. Keep leaving messages. They shouldn't bark too bad if it's on them. It appears that your son has made a good faith attempt...

Keep coming back, schmuck. Cyberharassment is a crime, and the more you return, the easier it is for JimRob to ID you.

Oops, did I say too much?
