I’m scheduled for MEPS shortly and I don’t need any waivers or to talk to a recruiter, because I already did. <br />I know it’s a case-by-case thing, but I was curious how long it generally takes to be back in the fight once the determination is approved and you get assigned your job. Anyone have any experience in this arena? I will be going straight to AIT if that helps.

Should get orders cut pretty fast; around a month or so. After that, you&#39;re just waiting for the next opening.

MEPS always tries to ship you ASAP to fill class seats. If the job you want isn’t there, don’t feel pressured to say “no thank you“ and try to come back another time. Job availability changes all the time as people reserve/drop jobs for various reasons. SFC Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 21 Nov 2019 19:45:46 -0500 2019-11-21T19:45:46-05:00 2019-11-14T19:34:39-05:00
