For those of you that have submitted a volunteer recruiter packet, what was the general turn around time on being notified whether you were approved or not?

My God man, nothing is so bad you voluntarily have to drop a voluntary recruiter packet. What are you running away from? Do you have active warrants? Knock up the post commander’s teenage daughter? Trying to escape alimony payments? Damn it man USAREC is where careers go to die!

Recruiter packets can be tracked in recruit the recruiter website, at least it used to work like that. It usually takes between 3 to 4 months, it depends on your branch, if they want to release you or not. Recuiting is a though, and demanding duty assignment. I hated recruiting, but to this day I have some applicants telling me "thank you." And that's what is all about, changing lives and providing the strength to the force. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Ask a local recruiters for more detailed information and experiences - ask more the one as results may be different than as seen on TV :D

They are likely being flooded right now due to the 18k or 1500 extra per month they're offering to prior recruiters, as well as it being the holiday season.
Expect a week or so delay on packets. You can always email ir call the team directly to check as well but wait st least 2 weeks before doing so.

SGT Runge, have you heard anything back yet? I'm in a similar situation and curious of the turn around time.
