Class B outside of your Command

[MED_BCMC]

Afternoon:

Quick question for the SMEs... I'm a reservist with the HS Res. I expressed interest in filling an Class B at the Local Wing, and was told that I would to be attach posted to the local Air Reserve Flight for this to happen. After it's all said and done, it's still my Home unit (The HS Res) who is doing all the HRMS, RPSR and drawing up the route letter. Why did I need to be attach posted?

When I ask the question around here, I get blank stares and "that's the way it's done". Any ideas?

Hey Med_BLOC; I'm in basically the same situation. Released after 24 years to follow my wife on her last posting as chief clerk before her 20 is done, at a remote naval reserve unit. I'm employed with them as class 'A' doing med adm & physical examinations. Technically I do not belong to them as I too have been told I'm attached posted. Good folks here at the unit and the 'check' ends up in my bank account. Meh...Can't complain - there's only 3 of us here in cadpat - me, the wife & the recruiter at the recruiting det    :warstory: GO Army!!

Nevermind... I answered my own question :

No worries; I answer my own questions at least once a day after asking someone else!! ;D

Normal ... (not that I'm normal -- just that it's normal for me  :-[ )

For HS Res personnel, it won't be that simple for much longer. As long as you make arrangements with a local Res Fd Amb to keep up your MCSP program you're probably going to be fine (or if you keep up your skills through civilian clinical employment). However, there have been proposals to bring into force a policy to essentially take those Med Techs who don't keep up their clinical skills, and offer them remuster or release.

When you are attach posted, HRMS captures the UIC of the unit in which you are employed (and the position description, if you are occupying a numbered HRMS position and not MMO).  This allows your employment history to be accurately reflected on your MPRR.

Off topic, but that's probably related to http://www.oag-bvg.gc.ca/domino/reports.nsf/html/20071004c_e.html
and perhaps more specifically

4.57 Less than 1 percent of the medical technicians and physician assistants who responded to our survey fully met their maintenance of clinical skills requirements.
