    New Tattoo Policy and ROTC?

    My ROTC battalion has already started cataloging tattoos, and I'm pretty sure others will start to follow if they haven't already. My advice is, play it safe. Looking at the way draw-downs are happening, the advice about not painting a bulls eye on your back is very true.

    CULP pay, round III...

    Thanks for the word, I still haven't seen a penny since I got back. My CLIP is still being processed but no sign of incidental pay. I left a voicemail on my HRA's machine, but this is getting irritating. I've been back two weeks with not even a LES generated showing pending payment. Keep us...

    End of the AROTC FTX

    BG Combs told us it was the rising MS-IIIs. But I suppose all I can do is wait and see like you said. I hope it is the class after us though, it puts us at a disadvantage because we won't be prepared.

    CULP pay, round III...

    Oh okay I got you now. Yeah I can see where you're coming from. I didn't know CULP was that old though. An officer I had spoke with at Knox said it was 3 years old. I think he was just misinformed though.

    CULP pay, round III...

    I hope they pay you too man. I think I was lucky because we had a pretty good mission in our country, did the full spectrum from mil-mil to humanitarian. But when I came back I found others weren't so lucky. I believe CULP is a relatively new program, so I'd be surprised if there weren't hiccups...

    CULP pay, round III...

    I got the same paper you did at Knox, but apparently that thinking had changed by the time I got back from deployment. Sorry for the delay, I just saw your info post.

    CULP pay, round III...

    Are you a cadet XO or something like that? We had a cadet XO for our country but out Mission Commander sent him back us with (we were our country's Team 1) after learning of the pay issue. I'm bummed out because I got screwed out of AT. My unit had AT the same time as my Title 10 orders for...

    End of the AROTC FTX

    I'm a prior-service cadet, previously served as a mechanic in the Reserve before going SMP in the Guard (and fighting off a last-minute state change to the SMP program that tried to force GRFD on me). All I've wanted to do since joining ROTC is commission AD, preferably in intel. I suck at...

    CULP pay, round III...

    Believe me, I hope I'm wrong too. The LTC basically said that this issue wasn't raised ahead of time (pre-mission), and they weren't trying to bring us under 'false pretenses'. I think this was something a third party brought up, and became way above our paygrade. -Bull-, I hope you get all...

    CULP pay, round III...

    Culp pay update Hi all, I just returned from a CULP mission to Europe. During our debrief at Ft. Knox, the LTC who debriefed us on behalf of the CG stated that our pay situation is currently being debated. Apparently, the chances for us to get paid are very slim because lawyers are arguing...
