  • can an E7 reduce a soldier?

    i will start out with.... it's my fault. i am in the army reserve. i have not passed the PT test since april 2013. my new 1SG who is an E7 said that i am now reduced to an E3 (i was an E4)he said that as soon as i pass, i get my rank back. i did not receive demotion papers. when he said that i was reduced, i asked if i could have at least until april of this year, which would make a year of not passing. he said no, the reduction was done (i failed in april and dec;2 record tests.) i then asked if i could go into the IRR for a few months until ready to pass the PT test. he said that request would take more than 30 days.

    my question.... Can an E7 reduce me? I thought that was the job of the Company CDR? What regulation can give me guidance on this? Can I go into the IRR for a few months? my contract is up in 2016. should I talk to a retension NCO about IRR?

    thanks for all input

    again, I know it's my fault for not passing, just looking for regulation answers please.

  • Are these kids in a cult or is it a scam?

    i think these kids are in a cult. it was last night, about 10:30pm @ a kroger grocery store parking lot, when these 2 young boys, maybe 16-18 came up to me, asking me to buy some crappy looking art work. when i told them i didn't have money, they said they will take a donation of anything. they said it was for a non denominational church out of newyork and that it was world wide, etc. i gave them a lot of change from a slot in my car door. i asked them where they stayed. they said in a van. they were dressed well, nice looking and had cellphones. i told them that it sounded as if they were in a cult and if they wanted to get out to call me. i told them that i was in the military and could help them. i really felt sorry for them. are they in some kind of a cult? this isn't the first time that a kid, claiming to be from some religion, has came up to me,but this is the first time that i said something about helping them out. honestly i don't know what kind of help i could give them other than a place to lay to lay their head and food to eat. i could let them stay @ my house but @ the same time, don't want to be caught up in a scam and my family find me beheaded lol. okay not funny. been watching too much criminal minds and unsolved mysteries. so did these kidsget into something that they can't get out of or are they cute lil scammers? i almost said, "take me to your leader." lol seriously, whats going on? only serious answers please

  • Is there a way to find out if a logistics company is phony?

    A company sent me an email stating that they received my CV (resume). It seemed a little shady to me because they stated that packages would come to my house (jewelry, electronics etc...)I would ship them overseas. Almost sounds like a Nigerian scam. I went online to see if company was legit. Even though they have a website, it still feels shady. The company is based out of India. Why have items come out of my house when they can set up a small office? I will attach most of the letter. Some misspellings in the letter; another red flag, but since American English is not their native writing style, as is the queen's English, should I overlook it? Maybe I should check with the FBI? Not a bad deal if it's legit.

  • Who are these freaks that keep popping up on my Yahoo messenger contact list?

    It is very annoying. I have my Yahoo chat as invisible and these strange people continue to pop up. I am tired of declining. Who are they and what do they want? Do they really want to chat with people that they don't know or are they trying to somehow get personal info from computers? How did they get my email address? The message says, "Hi please add me to your Yahoo messenger contact list so that we can chat. thanks." Is there a way to block it? Messages were every now and then to at least 3-5 back to back, depending on if I decline

  • 2006 dodge durango limited problem with filling up the tank?

    i bought it a few months ago. the first time i filled up the tank it overflowed. i thought it was the pump, but i have done this 3 times. is anyone else having this problem? i didn't see anything on callbacks for this situation. it appears as if i can't top it off or at least fill it up. the last time i got in my car to watch the needle before it got to 'f', but i was too late. also is there a non virus website or a cheap website to get the owners manual? dodge wants $40.00 also, i wanted to get an update to my GPS & holy moly they wanted to charge me $210.00 for a disc. is there a place on line that sells it cheaper? and one more thing. it took about 10min for my wipers to go in fast mode. by that time the storm was over. i did find what looked like a call back on wiper motor. anyone else having this problem? thanks; other than my big black beauty getting greedy with drinking gas, i must say that i do luv big bubba:-)
