Esteemed officers, respected SNCOs, fellow NCOs, and junior Marines, soldiers, sailors, and airmen, I bid you a warm greeting.
I recently was informed that I was board selected for commissioning and my "scroll" was approved and returned (appointment with rank confirmed). I'm now waiting on my unit to release me. I have 10 months left on my reserve contract. Has anyone gone through this or heard of anyone not released even with appointment letter? I have heard that special forces and commissioning ventures are approved generally but I thought I should ask this community if they've heard otherwise.

Thank you in advance for any insight.

You have gone to the dark side! You must return your NCO decoder ring and customized beer coozy immediately! In all seriousness, congratulations!

Good afternoon sir. Yes, I applied and was selected for the Army Medical Specialist Corps. I have aspirations to continue with PhD studies along with research ventures. I'm currently in USMC reserves but I'm trying to find out if my unit will release me.

Their really good programs, all active duty warrant and commissioned can apply from alp svcs, they can also nendonenas civil servants, youmcam get specific and technical, if you'd wish, I've been to through pretty much app boomed before my disability, as well as engrg, physics, and math,I'd be most eager to hear more, anytime, OK?
