I was released fromthe National Guard to the IRR and I have all of my paperwork. All I need now is the MEPS to MEPS transfer but Fort Jackson isn't really cooperating. Anybody know how to speed this up or what I can do?

It can take weeks, if not months.

Your Recruiter is feeling a lot more pressure to get it done. But it simply takes time. It's not a matter of "not cooperating", MEPS deal with thousands of records at a time, you're no more of a priority than anyone else. Be patient.

Understood. And as I'm sure your Recruiter told you, this is not a fast process, and will require you to wait quite a lot. And then some more. And then some more.

We just didn't expect to get hung up on this. Especially this long, it's been about two months.

We? If that includes your Recruiter, this is a good learning point.

Prior service and MEPS to MEPS always take a while. Always.

Nothing you can do. That is a issue between the files room of both MEPS and the USMail as they still snail mail the packets. Your MEOS liaison should be the POC for this and can go to the MEPS NCOIC for assistance.

I've called Fort Jackson and they won't speak with me without my recruiter. I just want to know if I can do something. I feel useless not being able to do anything.
