The 617th Military Police Company successfully conducted a Change of Command Ceremony druimg Decemeber IDT, marking an important transition in leadership.

We extend our sincere gratitude to CPT Angel Pagan for his outstanding leadership, professionalism, and dedication to Soldiers and families throughout his time in command. His contributions to the company and the Military Police Regiment have left a lasting impact.

We proudly welcome CPT Michael Turner as the incoming Company Commander. We look forward to his leadership as he assumes command of the 617th MP Company and continues the standard of excellence.

We would also like to recognize and thank CPT Grant Lawson for stepping up to serve as the Rear Detachment Commander. His leadership and commitment ensured continued care for our Soldiers and mission success during this transition.

Ravens,

While you gather with family and friends, we want you to know how grateful we are for you. Your dedication, hard work, and sacrifice does not go unnoticed. We appreciate everything you do and the strength you show.

Holidays can be good or bad for families, that dynamic is fluid. During these times don't make bad decisions because of a temporary problem.

Be responsible, make sound decisions and call a friend if you need help. Stay safe, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday season.

🚨 BIG CHANGES COMING TO BRS CONTINUATION PAY 🚨

Effective January 2026, major updates are hitting the Blended Retirement System (BRS) Continuation Pay policy — and it could mean a $7,000–$15,000 difference for many National Guardsmen.

🔹 M-Day Guardsmen: Continuation Pay drops from 2.5x to 0.5x monthly basic pay
🔹 AGR Guardsmen: No change – stays at 2.5x
🔹 New eligibility window: 7–12 years (shortening to 7–10 in FY27)
🔹 Mobilized Guardsmen may still qualify for 2.5x if they served 270+ days involuntarily in a 2-year period

📉 Lower payouts could impact mid-career retention.
📲 Talk to your Career Counselor or HR rep before the changes hit!
