What is the expected current wait time once I submit a direct commission packet in January 2024?

I am working on a direct commission packet with an AMEDD recruiter who recommended 72D. I have 11 years as an NCO, transitioned from Army Reserves to regular army. Lost some TIS, so ok with that, just finished my BS so working to plan my next steps as a potential officer. What does the current time frame look like from Packet submission to selection and notification right now?

SSG Private RallyPoint Member, if selected by the AECP selection board, I think their goal is to contact you within 60 days of the board adjournment. The board convenes in September each year, but there are many factors that could cause a longer wait time for notification. If selected (and you accept) your DCC & BOLC class start dates would be sometime between Jan-Sep. I presume that you are competing for the FY25 board as the FY24 selection board has already met (completed this month actually). See FY24 MILPER Message 22-411. FY25 selection should convene in September 2024.

72D Environmental Science & Engineering is a Medical Service Corps (MSC) speciality.
The biggest question is, where is your packet???
Your AMEDD recruiter should know or be able to find this information.
