My DD368 got lost in the communication systems and was sent to me 2 months after it was signed. I currently have 3 months to move through the direct commission process. I have already submitted resume, transcripts, NCOERs, DD214s, Medical documents, LORs, Professional Licenses, and my current reserve unit will slot me for the AOC.
I need to get medical scheduled with the local MTF. Is it possible to get everything completed and signed off in a 3 month time frame?

When I was applying I hadn’t heard anything for about 3 months. My recruiter couldn’t get answers. A family friend was Harry Reid - he told me that he would look into it if I wanted him to or to contact a senator. I was hesitant, and don’t necessarily recommend it, but I did contact on of my senators. The recruiting district wasn’t happy, but I got an answer and things moved very quickly after that.

I think the process timeframe varies but I’ve heard 6 months to over a year. I am at the tail end of the process. I am still awaiting orders but so far it’s been a year for me.

No, I’m prior service and have been out for 10 years. I
Hope having to refill multiple DD368’s doesn’t mess with your timeline too much. I did however have to turn in and sign multiple different forms because they were lost in-transit or needed correction. Will you be staying in your same unit?SSG (Join to see)

Staying with my unit is an option. I currently have a lengthy commute so if there is a closer one, I would be open to transferring. I also think movement is great for professional development. If I do slot with my current unit, there is still a ton to learn as we're transitioning and developing.

What board are you going for? depending on that you will know when you documents need to be in by.

SSG (Join to see) - See that's the problem there. The conditional release has to cover you for the boards and up to your selection (your recruiter will have to review the regs to make sure though)
*** edit ** Your recruiter should know if they need to process a DD368 while doing the packet work. I would highly suggest to have him verify if requesting another DD368 would delay your packet. Your main goal is to have everything ready by the october deadline.
Having a packet ready before the boards is a good thing because it has to go through all the QA steps before it gets to the board ( Packets get sent back for revisions all the time)

Of your motivated, it can be done in a month.
If your highly motivated, it can get done in 2-weeks!
