Should I stay enlisted or drop a packet for Warrant Officer?

Did you get picked up after submitting your packing? If so, how long did it take to process. I'm looking to do this on my 8 year mark also.

Actually, I was informed that I was getting medically retired just before I was going to turn it in.
However, I wouldn't wait to start your packet and turn it in. TIS doesn't matter so much as your test scores. That and the process of putting a WOC packet together takes a very long time. I can't speak so much for the USAF, but in the Army I required numerous letters of recommendation before my packet could be considered complete. From a company grade officer, field grade officer, a warrant officer (CW3 or higher) in the field of which I was applying for, and I believe there were two others that could be from anyone that was at least an NCO. But the hardest ones to get are going to be your field grade officer and your warrant officer, especially if you don't work with any warrants. I had to frequently go to the air field and rub elbows with helicopter pilots before one would even consider getting to know me well enough to write me a letter.
Good luck though. I hope you get accepted and make it through.
