Naughty33W Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Our deployment time was 60 days. In the states. 2 or 3 months on average in my experience - though its possible to pcs to back fill a different unit and then be rushed into a deployment that's just about to ship off - unlikely tho - especially as a reservist the point being that there's time and ability to contact people - especially when we know he's logging into other sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiRaff3 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I grabbed his info off of AKO and I am going to try and get in touch with his UA today. I am going to shake the tree and see what falls out. Sending AKO e-mail will most likely be ignored, as people have been messaging, e-mailing, and calling him for a while now.

In the Guard and Reserve, the company commander and/or 1SG are generally not full timers. Most manners are handled by the readiness NCO (Guard) or unit administrator (Reserve). Serious issues that cannot be resolved by the full time staff get forwarded to CO or 1SG. I called his unit number and got the UAs out of office message. There is an alternate number to call and I will try in a bit. I am just going to let them know that there is legal action on the horizon if they do not force him to fix this.

bum2kev Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) Does anyone want to send him a headsup email that you are calling his direct command? Edited July 6, 2010 by Hanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiRaff3 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 He IS junior enlisted. I sent an e-mail to his AKO, warning him that people were ready to take legal action, and told him that I was contacting his UA to try and keep him out of trouble. what jag office do reservists use ? is it just whatever post is closest or do they have their own rep ? glad to see another Army VSer btw I do not know about his legal options, sorry. There aren't too many of us who are into Volvo and serve :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiRaff3 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I just got off the phone with someone at his unit. Apparently the UA was busy, so I left my contact information and I am waiting for a call back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty33W Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 1) He IS junior enlisted. 2) I sent an e-mail to his AKO, warning him that people were ready to take legal action, and told him that I was contacting his UA to try and keep him out of trouble. 3) I do not know about his legal options, sorry. 4) There aren't too many of us who are into Volvo and serve 1) figures 2) hopefully he realizes that he needs to make return some phone calls asap 3) hmm, well he'll have to contact them somehow anyways if his command decides a little ucmj is in order 4) i agree completely , but it makes knowing and talking to a Army VSer all the cooler B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiRaff3 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 4) i agree completely , but it makes knowing and talking to a Army VSer all the cooler I hope I can make some solid progress within the next few days, I report for BNCOC on Friday :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty33W Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I hope I can make some solid progress within the next few days, I report for BNCOC on Friday oh ... well, if you give them a heads up and be sure to let them know you're calling on behalf of volvospeed and its members then maybe Chuck can takeover from there - only so that we can use the name to try and get a good response so that we dont have individuals calling them every 5 minutes , which wont go over well - if Chuck needs backup or is unavailable i'll take over for ya - just forewarn me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be afraid to keep the rest of the mods in the loop. absolutely - i'm only really saying that it would be better to have a "VS representative" speak for its members and if Chuck or the Mods or whomever needs it i'll communicate with his unit if/when GiRaff3 goes to bncoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiRaff3 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) Alright, genuine PROGRESS! I just spoke with his unit administrator! FACTS: Sean attended his units June battle assembly (drill). He has not reported any issues to his leadership (family emergencies, extended travel, hospitalization, etc.) His UA was genuinly concerned and knows that legal action will be bad news for his military career. She said he will be contacted as soon as possible, hopefully today, and the "process" will begin. She said his commander will be informed and most likely contact me. I shared my military e-mail address and she thanked me for making them aware of this before he ended up in jail, getting fined, or on probation. There has not been a timeframe put on how long it will take to square him away. With my experiences as a leader dealing with Soldier issues, some are resolved quickly, some take a LOT of time. Typically, when it comes to legal matters, things end up taking a bit longer. Another factor is the motivation of his leadership, and how serious they are about squaring him away. If some of you are impatient/too angered at this point, you are welcome to see this crappy situation to any end that you deem necessary. With what we know right now, between the info I just shared and his login habits from other websites, it would seem that he is up to no good. Of course, even with the evidence stacked against him, perhaps there is still some sort of misunderstanding. I asked her to keep in touch with me to let me know the progress they make with him. I told her that I cannot stop anyone from going after him, but if she keeps me in the loop, I can share what info I have and hopefully their actions will be enough to keep you guys from tearing into him, legally. That is all I have for now. Edited July 6, 2010 by GiRaff3 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
