CPT Private RallyPoint Member 4332107 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This question is for anyone who received a Direct Commission, either in 2018, or in recent years. In October 2018, I was notified of my selection to become a 72D, Environmental Science and Engineering Officer (I&#39;m presently a MSG in the Air Force). I began trying to piece a timeline of events (my recruiter was somewhat helpful) of how things would progress from there. I&#39;ve narrowed it down to: 1) Notified of selection (October); 2) Sign the DA71, Oath (December); 3) Orders will drop (Feb); 4) Attend the DCC course (June-ish). <br /><br />My question is: for those who joined the Army via direct commission (notably AMEDD officers), did your timeline flow along those lines? I&#39;m at the stage where I&#39;m awaiting orders, and attempting to gauge a rough timeline of what happens next for planning purposes. <br /><br />Thanks in advance! 2019-01-31T16:54:39-05:00 CPT Private RallyPoint Member 4332107

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>That&#39;s close but not quite it. I direct commission but also prior service. I&#39;m reserves. I was notified of selection and then I waited what seemed like ages for my scroll. When the scroll finally came through, I was able to go take my oath of office and sign my contract. I was notified near the end of December (2017). My scroll was approved at the end of February (2018) and I commissioned March 23, 2018.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am currently awaiting orders as well. I was selected during the last October board, scroll approval came back 1 week before Christmas, and I swore in the Friday before Christmas. I recently had to re-sign my contract because the incentives changed and was told that the timeline would be kicked back another month. My recruiter was unsure if I need to go to DCC because I am prior service. Based on what I am reading on RallyPoint and other websites all direct commissioned officer will attend DCC and BOLC. I have no idea when I may be attending those courses. I have had to dig for most information. I will update you if and when I get any news.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am currently an active duty 72D but I commissioned so long ago it isn&#39;t relevant - the only really useful piece of advice I have is get into 6A-F5/6 as soon as you can. It is goingto set you up for success not on as a EESO but also for promotion past Captain.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Have you received your orders yet? I just signed my DA71 and swore in a few weeks ago, and am now awaiting my orders. I signed up for Active Duty as well.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Google your question for an answer.<br /><br />The United States Army Reserve uses the DCO program to bring specialized skills and backgrounds, and to fill critical shortages in the Army Reserve commissioned officer corps. A majority of the people obtaining direct commissions in the Army Reserve are prior-enlisted personnel.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I got notify from my recruiter and I got selected from board. May I know when do I take an oath? My recruiter said we have to wait memo/ scroll. My rank on board selection is 1LT. When I take an oath, it will be 1 or 2 LT?
