So I have been trying to get on touch with a recruiter for the NR for the past 3 week. The number on the navy website is wrong or no good or the recruiters just don't answer the phone. The other number goes straight to a computer generated voicemail and of course no returned phone call. This is unsat and disappointing to say the least. This can not be a reflection of my beloved navy that I spent 8 years in. Does anyone have any contacts or a good number?

Thanks for the help. I finally got in contact with a recruiter. He says since I got out in 2004 as a ABH2 I have to come back in as a ABH/e-3.. Since I am a career firefighter/hazmat tech and held nec 7011 and 7012 is there any way around loosing two ranks? Also what is the advancement like for ABH's for e-4? I am not sure about loosing 2 pay grades since I worked hard to achieve e-5 in 6 years. Any thought from your perspective?

Unfortunately since you have a break in service greater than 6 years you have to take the rank reduction. Last time I checked though you should only loose 1 rank. As far as advancement for ABHs in the reserves right now I couldn't tell you. I don't have access to that info right now. Im currently on leave for 3 weeks. I hope your Recruiter is able to get you all the answers and get you back in. Feel free to contact me anytime if you need any help. Have a good one.

im not sure how advancement looks for ABHs right now. I would talk to a career counselor NC. Recruiting NCs don't have access to that info. Your NOSC or reserve center you affiliate with should have one there.

Now I did talk to the local ang recruiter but not wanting to work on raptors or be in a construction battalion. I do have to loose 16 lbs. I guess I shrunk since leaving the navy

I had similar troubles contacting a recruiter when I first started the process of reenlisting. My solution was to find the nearest NOSC and just walk in to talk to someone. Be prepared for a slow process, it took me about two months and three last minute cancellations to finally get a physical, we are finalizing my package now and my recruiter expects to have me back in sometime next month.
Reserves are low priority right now and prior service are at the back of that line.
