I am currently an AD serving as a 68W, 1 year and 4 months in, BEng In Elect/Elect Engineering (3.78/4 GPA) and a Masters degree in Telecommunications and I am working on getting a DC for the 72DN2 or 72DN2 Position. What are my chances of getting approved for it??

It sounds like you would be good. Call your nearest AMEDD recruiter. Make sure you get someone that knows what they are doing. Active duty enlisted straight into an active duty direct commission are weird. I had to learn it all the hard way this year.

Well I went down this road before we needed the 4187 not 368. It’s a little confusing from the recruiters perspective as this isn’t the most common thing. But my applicant just got his orders to report to bolc. The problem we are having now is his unit never routed his 4187 to branch for release. So he has orders to report but his branch hasn’t released him lol. Think we got it fixed but either way strap in for a bumpy confusing road.

I will sergeant. I just want this to be done on time and over with, also with high hopes of CV review approval and selection for the board....
The recruiter had told me about a CV review which could take about days or weeks, followed by the board which could take months. Is that how it works sergeant?

What exactly is the process?

Apparently I talked to my recruiter's boss yesterday and he told me I needed the 4187 as an AD soldier. He said it has to be signed by my Company CO, Battalion CO and the G1. Now I have to fill out a 4187 and reroute it again to my DCCS.

I am yet to even get a feedback from the 368 I sent up

I am in Army reserve trying to go to active DC and i have already send that 368 and its sitting at BDE level. I don’t think i will have that in my receuiter hand before october board date. Do you think its ok if that 368 gets signed after board date selection and before i signed the contract?? I have sent local 368 signed by commander only for the board purpose thoughSFC (Join to see)

Well, I was not able to go on with it becsue the recruiter after getting everything he needed and submitted them and sent me a message couple of weeks later. My CV review was not sucessful becasue I have a foreign degree which is not accredited by ABET. It died there. So the best option for me was to apply for OCS

As I'd already said elsewhere on here, I entirely realize you, given that you want environmental sci, you're looking at AMEDD, I get that, however, please trust me based on yrs of not being able to have gotten onto the clinical side, you're overlooking USPHS Commissioned Corps...both of you are, promise...I trained under an O-6 of theirs while doing my clinical allied-health doctorate, though I'm total perm disabled, as I'd also said, and couldn't go USPHS as I'd wanted...look at their scientist spots, for concentrating on environ sci, as well as their Jr and Sr COSTEP, both undergrad, and grad...call their toll-free phones, and chat with their recruiters, you've both got zero to lose, and everything to gain, possibly, promise, honest, OK If you both wanna chat more, as I'd also said, just lemme know, no rush, whenever you'd both want, OK?
