I'm in the same boat, still working, but who knows when we will next be paid. Grateful I still have orders, at least, it could have gone the other way since I'm on ADOS.

I'm working because I've been designated as excepted/essential. I'm limited on the work I can do, and have no idea when I'll get paid, although I'm sure to get it eventually. Those who were furloughed might get paid for the time they've been furloughed, but they won't know for sure until Congress passes a bill saying that they will get their back pay. I'm about ready to get out for good...! Tired of no pay-raises or bonuses for three years, sequestration, and now furloughs for who knows how long.

Still working? I got the impression that you were looking at retirement a couple of years back.

They did pass something that all military are considered essential and will continue to get paid like normal.

Only AGR and T-10 ADOS are in that boat for us ARNG folks. If you're T-32 ADOS, you have to be specifically excepted/exempt from the shutdown. In my case, the HRF is considered essential, so we're still here working so we can maintain our response posture.
