How can a USNR E-2 Apprentice go about pursuing a Permanent Duty Assignment billet (reporting monthly to a USN Ship)?

Thank You for the link.

Thank You for the heads up.

I thought reserve units for ships were no longer. I stand corrected. But there are differences major from what I was exposed 1990s.

Is the LCS model, in port considered Operational, when the augment is only in port?

I read about the LCS Reserve Unit Augment Manning Model-- allows for up to 8 Units in port only support. No Sea Time. The 50 man crew needs time off in port. I reserve unit could take those watches and offer relief. This is a good model but does not allow for underway time still. I wonder if these reserve units have the actual UIC on there orders of the ship? I suppose not. I suppose their UIC would be the reserve center. I know for a fact the ships crew corpsman is not handling the reserve units as well. These LCS actually have a configuration for a FFG Frigate tasking.

1990, In comparison, had a few FFGs assigned a 30 Man Reserve Unit. The unit actually took 30 billets from the Active Duty Full time FFG Manpower. Essentially, the crew was below minimum manning in port and underway deployed until the reserve unit showed up. The reserve unit had the same UIC of the ship. The ships undermanned Corpsman also took care of the annual physicals of the reserve unit attached. I got my sea service ribbon on these FFG's.

For more info, I'd refer you to a Career Counselor or perhaps call a LCS reserve unit and get clarification on those questions. I've yet to be attached to one of those specific units, so I'm not knowledgeable on those questions. I wish I had a better response for you.
