so here is the skinny, i gave my boss my two weeks back in early may cuz i was scheduled to go back on active duty may 26th. no big deal, he understood and hired someone else to fill my spot [this was supposed to be permanent, i enlisted back on active duty, i wasnt called back or anything]. well when i get to MEPS [processing station, where they ship u out from] they find out that my paper work had been screwed up [on their part] and i wasnt able to ship AT ALL. so i had to sit down and figure out a new ship date which turned out to be all the way on Sep 1st. I came back told my boss about what happen n he told me to give him a few days to look at all the jobs he had going on and he will let me know after the holiday weekend if he could hire me back. few days go by and he tells me sorry he cant do it. so im hoping and trying to find a job cuz i didnt wanna mess with the whole unemployment thing. after a few weeks i say screw it and apply. back on 15 june. i finally get a letter saying they denied me. Now, MD isnt like some states, u dont get a penny til they decide on ur case so i dont owe them anything, i just dont get anything. my point is Who in their right mind would deny me [with that compelling story lol] two months worth of 400 dollars a week, when u got hundreds of ppl out there who have been collecting for 2 years now, obviously not even trying to get a job. i would be happy with a job right now, im losing my mind sitting at home. I just cant understand it.

yeah, im guessing that all they did when they reviewed my case is see that it was under the voluntarily quit section and just denied it automatically. i just cant get over it.. i got a buddy of mine that is my age [24] and still lives at home with his rich grandad and doesnt even has to work he still as a 9 sec supra, brand new powerstroke dually.. blah blah blah, and got layed off from his 12 dollar an hour job and collected unemployment for two years. it just blows me away ya know. oh well, everything happens for a reason. luckily i got a wife who has taken care of organizing ad staying on top of our bills for over 6 years now. worst part about it is she quit her salary job too since i was supposed to be leaving, she wanted to be home with the kids and i said what the hell, go ahead. lol.

thanx for the responses. im in a better mood then i was the last time i was on the site. its funny, all my friends r like man, y u going back in, im like umm i hate being a civilian... this is one of them times.

Make two phone calls. Call your local Army Recruitment Office. Call your local Congressman.

 

It is not uncommon for clerical errors to happen during enlistment/re-enlistment procedures. I cannot believe your local recruiter hasn't had an issue, or two, similar to this. He/she should be able to submit paperwork to get your processing date sped up and get you some income. Your local Congressman may be able to assist. Give the Congressman's office the name and phone number of your local recruiter so they can verify your story.

 

We do appreciate those who serve our Country in the military. It is unfortunate when one gets caught in a paperwork snafu. You arent' the first... and you won't be the last. There has to be some resolution available... if you can find the right person to pull some strings. Good luck and thank you for your service!!!

I'd think the military could find something for you to do until you ship out

Military isn't going to do crap. I doubt the congresscritter will either. I've never heard of somebody that quit being able to draw unemployment. Even when it was for good reason (like this guy).

Is there any way to get a RENO (renegotiation of contract) for a quicker ship date? I've never dealt with many Prior Service, but have seen a few initial entry Soldiers taken care of. One enlisted in late April and was due to ship in September. We got the word that some training slots would be coming open, took him back to MEPS in late May and he shipped off less than three weeks later.

 

Also, remember that many good Recruiters network with local businesses and communities and may know someone in need of a temporary employee.

      injector cleaner 2021 2.7 1500 silverado

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      GDI Injector tips are in the combustion chamber and yes, they are subject to the same aromatic hydrocarbon based carbon build up the entire chamber is subjected to. Chevron Techron is a PEA based cleaner (polyether amine)  that is VERY effective if the dose is high enough.  Carbon the tips disrupts the spray pattern so keeping them clean is kind of a big deal. It will clean more than the injector tips. It will keep the inside of the injector tip clean as well. When they shut off they 'hot soak' building varnish internally behind the pintle. The tip, unlike most MFI systems have several orifices of very small diameter. They have to stay clean to work right. That spray pattern is supposed to spray into the cup in the piston, not all over the cylinder walls. Old guys will understand...    Top Tier Chevron has enough of the cleaner to be effective if used regularly. Other solutions could be Shell V Power Nitro + Premium and Exxon/Mobil Supreme Plus Premium ONLY use a different chemistry to the same effect with the added bonus of a friction/antiwear additive as well. Red Line SI-1 is PEA based as well with an upper cylinder lube. There's a white paper on their site for shock treatment of system left untreated for long periods. AMSOIL PI has a full system cleaner of yet another chemistry that will strip carbon out of the power cylinder pretty quick. Gumout Regane is also PEA based but at very low doses and those that are isopropanol based will not be effective. Alcohol content is way to low. Chevron Techron in any pump gas, Use by package instructions. 10 oz per 15 gallons every 3,000 miles. First use may require two treatments.    So, Techron, Red Line SI-1 and AMSOIL PI if batch treating and Shell, XOM Premium or any Chevron Fuel will not just keep it clean, but will clean it if dirty. No other fuel "I'm aware of will do that".    Flex Fuel motors. If you use at least 40% alcohol on a regular basis they won't carbon at all. PEA is not recommended for fuels over E-20     (www.carparts.com)

      4 Wheel Drive System

      By Another JR · Posted

      It is always a good idea to exercise it at least every few months to make sure the actuators don’t get stuck. It is also a good idea to actually drive it for at least a few hundred feet when you do that so seals experience motion and oil movement.  Off pavement or snow/ice is best for this, but driving wet pavement in a straight line for a  short distance will work if you don’t have other options. I have  forgotten and gone as long as six months between exercising it on my 2021 and it has always shifted promptly.  I usually just use my straight 300 foot gravel driveway.

      Absolutely!  These forums are legion with posts of people complaining that their truck wouldn't go into 4WD when they needed it to.  Most of them hadn't used it ever or in years.   I try to run mine through the paces every month or so and drive it a few miles on a dirt trail near the house a couple times a year if not already off-roading.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      By ohed · Posted

      The battery is  very new, The  truck is  essentially undrivable  so I have had it  towed  to the  dealer. Since  this is an E Assist  truck  the dealer  seems  the only option at this point. Scan showes multiple  codes. The  repair wll not be  cheap

      Not a bad idea to check codes. But, if you have an old battery and/or electrical gremlins, most of those codes will be false.
