It shouldn&#39;t be too difficult for them to adjust you on their UMR.

This is especially important if you&#39;re getting a bonus. The bonus is tied to your specific slot in a unit and if you aren&#39;t filling that specific slot MOS/Grade and meet the MOS/Grade requirements of that slot, you will no longer be entitled to that bonus SFC Private RallyPoint Member Sat, 16 Oct 2021 14:23:44 -0400 2021-10-16T14:23:44-04:00 2021-10-16T14:09:15-04:00
