Yea. Got it. Im good at working around issues plus I'm not pressed to just do 20 years. I'll be here for probably 30plus

Plus the different conversations being talked by certain high leadership is being had. And the unit losing like 7 soldiers because the moves of no rear d talk back when first on notice in December last year...

Thanks though 

Without assignment to Rear D, I don't see how you'd be able to work around this issue. You're looking at deploying with your unit.

Yea that's what I'm saying... a rear d is being brought up and worked behind the scenes... and face to face I make things happen. Not my 1st rodeo... did it before...

Plus...not a deployment...its a mobilization. Omg... I hate when people call a CONUS move a deployment. All good. Thanks for your feedback 

If you could make things happen face to face, this wouldn't have happened:

"I wrote a detailed description and memo to the command team details of what I can do to provide great rear detachment. But they are not having a rear d. I have pushed this since February 2020." - Keddrick Corday Thompson

Why write a memo when a face to face would do? Additionally, you wouldn't have needed to try to get into the IRR. This is why we're having this exchange. You changed your story since this thread began.

Even if things are being worked on, you don't have a 100% probability of making the Rear D roster.

If you don't make the roster, exactly how are you going to work around that issue? Other than whataboutisms?

Additionally, you're incorrect regarding what constitutes a deployment and what doesn't. You mobilize, and then you deploy.

To put historic context to it. Mobilization occurs when you bring manpower and resources together to constitute a deploying unit. Once manpower, equipment, materials, etc., are arranged for deployment, and time for movement arrives, the deployment begins.

You don't have to be deployed outside the United States to be considered deployed. A movement away from your home unit's location... To be temporarily assigned outside your home station under the auspices of mobilization... Regardless of whether it's in the US or elsewhere, is a deployment.

Mobilization brings you guys from "one weekend a month" to active duty status. Movement from your home station is the process of deploying. Conducting your unit mission away from your home area is considered "deployed". You remain in a "mobilized status" while deployed. Then there's the term "redeploy". This is the process of returning to the home unit's geographic area. The transition from active duty to "one weekend a month" is demobilization.

You could hate my using deployment to describe your going to another part of the US. I'm going to go by historic context rather than by what you think it means.

"Thanks for your feedback" - Keddrick Corday Thompson

I consider each of your replies as a request for my feedback. I look forward to giving you my next feedback.

NOTE: Keddrick Thompson continued his talk of a rear detachment. Intellectually, he was seeing that he was going to be activated for a year and would not be with his family. Talking about a rear detachment, and his ability to do things face to face, was an attempt to "regain control" of his situation.
