Mitch4600 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I am prior service and was selected on the civilian board last Wednesday. My MEPS physical expired last month. I had a waiver for PRK which needs to be renewed before they will give me another physical and I am told the whole command is working on getting it done fast. However, it's already COB Wednesday here in California and I am told if I am not done signing up by next Friday I will lose my seat. I am giving them time to work it out but I don't want to be kicking myself next Friday if this isn't done in time. Do you all have any advice? Also looking for knowledge on if there is anything I can do if it isn't fixed by the 31st? I am trying to stay relaxed but as you know a lot went into this and I don't want to lose out at the last minute. Thank you in advance.

hcb2574 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 This advice might be able to buy you more time. I was selected in the September civilian board and when I tried to sign they had no open slots for wocs classes. I had a deadline too. The board said I had 10 days to sign UNLESS there were things that prevented me from signing that was out of my control. I had meps inform the board that I wanted to sign but there were no slots open and they extended the deadline. I signed 3-4 days after the deadline to sign.

Mitch4600 Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Yes, hcb is correct. They can extend it for you. If it's just past the 10 days the board can extend it and if it's past 30 they can do an exception to policy. Just has to be something that is out of your control like with my case.
