rep 63 fine print
I'm a 33 yr old GS-11 engineer at a DOD/Navy/missile range on Kauai (w/ Navy Diver pin (SCUBA) thanks to the Navy and my job’s need to QA work when the divers come over).
Any advice in regard to the details I’ll look for when I sign the rep 63 contract (18D) this Friday. I’m going to key on “18D”, of course, along with E-4 for a degree, $6K (or maybe $10K, they’re checking) for the MOS bonus, loan payoff, MGIB/K, and BCT, AIT (91W in San Antonio – 16wks), airborne, SOPC, and SFAS start dates.
What else? Any Rep 63 guys (especially 18Ds) like to pass on “fine print” lessons they learned the hard way? E.g. How important are those class dates on the contract?
Aside from the contract, I’ve been told that candidates passing SFAS will be brought back briefly to their Group and promoted to E-5 prior to PCSing to Bragg for the rest of the course. Sound right? I was told this from the recruiter after I forwarded the post about this from the candidate working at the Guard liaison office at Bragg. Thanks QPs!
Should I be concerned that they ask for two other MOSs besides 18D (I understand it to be SOP)? I'm told that 18D is primary and that those other MOSs are ONLY if 18D doesn't work out because of.... (other than VW, I'm not sure why 18D wouldn't work out… maybe snapping a foot off or something). I've found this topic in my searches but didn't find a conclusive answer: The question's an attempt to close the loop.
I've done searches on this website and others about these topics; I’ve learned a lot, and just have these last questions to answer... for now.
Thanks in advance to those that respond and thanks to the QPs for the site.
Very respectfully,
-Chris
