grmasterb Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 As McNary is an officer, he is commissioned, not enlisted. Sorry, that's a pet peeve of mine, as a one-time Army grunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dw49 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 maybe he needed to be in football shape before going through otas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grmasterb Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Anyone know what his MOS was?Officers don't have an MOS. They're commissioned into specific branches -- armor, infantry, engineer, quartermaster, AG, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grmasterb Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I stand corrected. Was his military obligation over on 5/21/13?Can't say with certainty, but I doubt it. His active obligation may be over, but I suspect he still has a reserve obligation. If memory serves, David Robinson was allowed to join the NBA after 2 years active naval service, but he had a reserve obligation afterwards. Service academy grads normally have a 5 year active obligation. In McNary's case, he may have had some outprocessing/transitional issues to complete and was, therefore, excused from OTAs.

How about I change my question. Does anyone know he did while he was commissioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narcosys Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Not sure that you have that question phrased right either. Please re - think and submit again.Here, what was his job, what branch was he in, where did he serve, what unit did he serve with, can we see his ORB, can they release his DD214, anything else?

lester Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Anyone know what his MOS was? Not sure but seems like I read somewhere that it had to do with physical fitness training. McNary's MOS was 13A. He is an Artillery officer. He served as an Artillery Platoon Leader with the 3rd Cavalry Regiment at Fort Hood, Texas. http://danny-wild.com/2013/04/10/colts-sign-army-sack-leader-mcnary/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarassedOffTheSite Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Can't say with certainty... He must have a jerk for a Commanding Officer. It is within a Commander's discretion to allow a member of his staff leave for a serious civilian commitment. Barring his actually being in theatre, I don't know why he wouldn't have been allowed to come to OTAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKnight24 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 They need to let him go. He's not gonna have a fair shot at making the 53 roster if they make him miss pieces of Training Camp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smonroe Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 They need to let him go. He's not gonna have a fair shot at making the 53 roster if they make him miss pieces of Training Camp Yeah, his best hope is that they like him enough to put him on the PS. He hasn't played in what, 2 years? Can't imagine he's in football shape, much less pro ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much less an opportunity that RARELY occurs for one of his or her officers. Barring him being in the OA or possibly some very serious training where his expertise is indespensible (highly unlikely) I'd expect any Commanding Officer worth his or her salt to look out for the future well-being of one of his officers and give them a lot of latitude.
