G-9 collaborated with G-1 on an article, “Continuation pay as a

. The article thoroughly explains the Continuation Pay retention
incentive of the Blended Retirement System that is payable after the
completion of eight years of service, but before completion of 12 years
of service, as computed from the pay entry base date and determined by
the Army each year. All Soldiers enrolled in the Blended Retirement
System are entitled to this one-time, direct bonus payment at their
mid-career mark in exchange for an additional service obligation. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/
7. US ARMY RESERVE 2021 PARALEGAL HANDBOOK. From the USAR OSJA: Roughly

significant rewrite, adding chapters on contract and fiscal law, FOIA,
Domestic Operations, the evaluation board process, common USAR terms and
leadership. This is NOT a substitute for legal advice, but provided for
anyone’s reference as many of our actions also involve collaboration
with HR professionals across the USAR (administrative separations,
flags, adverse administrative actions, etc). https://www.milsuite.mil/book/
