What if college conflicts with annual traning?

Now, having said what I said, SGT (Join to see) , bring your laptop and books anyway, and do homework in the evenings as best you can. Load up on coffee to stay awake. You're an adult, so you do what you need to do in order to balance things as best you can. If anyone says anything to you, your response is "Well, command didn't want to work with me, so I'm doing what I can to adjust. I'm here, I'm doing my duty, so what I do with my down time is my own concern, and I'm using the time productively."

I, as a young SGT, used that sort of language when I was on active duty to justify to my at-the-time 1SG why I was in college and not out getting drunk with my fellow new NCOs....

My job conflicted with my annual training, and the commander pretty much bullied me into going anyway, and I got no sympathy, even though I'd already done two weeks of annual training.

I was given to understand in 2015 that my going to the MRT course was my annual training, and then at the last minute, I was put in for two more weeks, and I was switching positions at my civilian job. It was important for me to be there. When I tried to appeal to the commander based on an undue burden on my civilian job, he yelled at me and threatened my OER in a hallway in full view of everyone.

I caved, and didn't press the issue, went to the AT, and still got stuck on a data entry mission. Yes, you read that right, a data entry mission. A senior CW2 (at the time) with a Masters degree in Software Engineering, and all I was good for was data entry. When I pushed to try to automate it, since that would increase our productivity, I was told "that's not our job". I'm sorry, but I'm a Signal Chief Warrant Officer. I solve problems in my field. If you don't need me to solve problems, you don't need ME. That's when I started my IRR packet.

So yeah, don't expect anything like a timely commitment from your unit, but be prepared to jump when they say jump, on their timeline.

My 2 cents from dealing with this in the past.

You should have asked your commander months ago. Stated your situation that it's your last semester and I'm quite certain he/she would have been able to arrange an alternate AT date for you. Contrary to popular belief it isn't an easy thing to do. AT must be performed at a training location, your home station armory is not that, so they would need to coordinate you doing AT with another unit.

Also, professors are very understanding. If not your VA rep can help. I did many AT's with homework late at night in the TOC after my 1SG brought me in from the field or the range. One reason why I preferred online classes. I did have some resident and some classes that required a log in X times a week. I coordinated this all well in advance.

Do you use TA or GI Bill or are you doing a VA work study? If the answer to any of those is yes, then that is what's allowing you to go to school or paying a portion. You have to make right with the bill payer. AT is scheduled well before it's conducted and the AGO 40, or whatever document your state uses, lists all training events well in advance.

Probably not what you want to hear, but the hard right is just that, hard.

SGT (Join to see) Mission comes first. In my civilian career, I had to drop four masters degree courses because mission requirements came first.

I think it depends on the AT. If it's a CTC or big accreditation for the unit. I would expect a strict policy on skipping AT. If it's more an admin type AT it should be very lenient.
We have a Warfigher in October. So, I inform my soldiers in advance to see if possible to resolve conflicts. I try to be lenient when possible. If it's with civilian career training or school in final semester or in middle of finals. I will allow them to skip AT. The exception are those who are always submitting to get out of AT or drills.

With an entire career in the Reserve, I had many times there were conflicts. Remember the 6 "P"s. 95% of the time I made AT. The other times, with good warning ahead of time, I was able to do a different AT, but you got to make it clear to your leadership early enough. When I was working as a Professional Guide, there were times of the year (hunting season) I couldn't make drill, but I knew this ahead of time and worked it out. Some times I went to Montana and drilled with the Guard there, sometimes I was able to make it up. But the responsibility is upon you to plan ahead, get things worked out.

Colleges and employers are required by law to allow you to attend military training without penalty or reprecussions.
You are required to inform your school about your military commitments (they are planned nearly a year in advance, after all) and coordinate with your professors how you will keep up with course work.
Your unit is required to give you "adequate notice" - subject to interpretation, but common view is no less than 90 days - so that you can make necessary arrangements with your employer and/or school.

So long as everyone is doing what they are supposed to do, there should rarely be an issue. Things like labs and residency are difficult to make up for, so a commander should be more flexible in those situations. In my experience, it is almost always the Soldier who knows that they have an AT requirement that waits until the last minute and then requests to get out of AT. Sorry, Hoss. Those AT taskers come printed on something called ORDERS, not Suggestions.

My unit has AT in August of this year.......the first month of the new school year. I have several Soldiers that are in school. They are being required to attend AT.

Your in the army you do as you are told. You can ask your COC but they can say no your going anyway.

In all the colleges, there is the requirement of the training on the annual functions. Somehow, it will be of good option to use, https://www.assignmentgeek.com.au/essay/ this link that has more ideas to visit and give all the persons good trainers.
