Hello, My daughter left for BC on 12/18/18. Her PIR is set for 02/08/19. Can someone tell me if she will be able to spend anytime with us after PIR before she is sent to A School?

Does anyone have any information on Personnel Specialist / FTS (Full-Time Support) ? This is what my husband will be doing. He leaves at the end of March for boot camp. And after boot camp, Lord willing, he will be attending A-School at Meridian, Mississippi :)

So my son will be a ps on (ddg95) James E. Williams in Norfolk.. What are their typical working hours on the ship? He will also live on this ship, how much time do they typically have off the ship while in port? This is all new to me, just curious how his day will be..

no, you dont extend your reserve time period at all. only your active duty
-
-
Im a little confused. But once your in there and you signed up for 4year active and 4 years reserve, during that term can you extend your reserve duty making it 2 years active and 6 years reserve?
-
-
i know the time frames done add up just right, but once a person is in, theres all kinds of ways of extending, reenlisting, oteiping.. and you only serve 8 years in reserves period, so if you extend to say 6 years, you have 2 years left in the reserves. with that you would have fulfilled a 4 year sea, and would be almost done with a shore rotation..
