mcclainm Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 For you active duty selectees, how soon will you see orders or an ATRRS class date? My girlfriend is planning to move here to CA from the East Coast about the time that I find out about the results. If I get selected I don't want her to go through all that hassle for just a month or so if I'm shipping that quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the typical ship date for someone going through the whole process? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhrogGuy Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 5 months from being selected! Is that because you aren't doing basic again? What is the typical ship date for someone going through the whole process?Can't really speak to what is typical. I have seen shipping 9 months from selection and I have seen shipping a month from selection. My civilian compatriots seem to be shipping in early Nov so that we will meet at Ft. Rucker in Feb. I would imagine that is about par for the course. My understanding is that you should be going through the pipeline with the folks you got selected with. So, for Lindsey or one of the other folks who got selected with me, they ship about 1.5 months from selection. I, because I am special and stuff, ship 4 months from selection. Â That help any?

ShaneWey Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 For those November hopefuls who are pushed to January: Like most people, my APFT was one of the last things I've done to get my packet together to allow myself the most amount of time to prepare. I took it over the weekend and scored a 292. I'm pleased but obviously I was aiming for the 300. While there is already a lot of helpful info on this forum for PT, I just want to offer some links that helped me for those who aren't able to make the November board like me. I hope to update my packet to a 300pft before January!  The "Three-Hour" Diet - Military Fitness - Military.comPrep for Basic (ArmyStudyGuide.com)Army Basic Training | Prepare for U.S. Army Boot Camp2012 Army Fitness StandardsAlso, look on YouTube for a video called "Max your PT score" Happy training 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I3uller Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Thanks! I've been trying to strengthen everything that I have control over.No no, you're supposed to lower your PT score so the rest of us have better odds at selection. Jerk.

ShaneWey Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Haha I have to do what I can since guys/gals like you will probably take some slots in Nov, making it more competitive for us in Jan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwfoxjr Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 For any of you with a good handle on the timeline process, for the people that are lucky enough to be selected in a few weeks for the Nov board, when do you think is a realistic ship date to BCT for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osterhjm Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Anywhere from 1-6 months. I've seen a lot of people on here lately getting 2-3 months out. Probably looking at march timeframe. (At least that's what I'm anticipation/hoping for) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLYC2A Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Ya man that's some decent info, thanks! Now hopefully that will apply to me.  Are you active duty or prior service?  BTW, I think its good timing considering its your second look.....because on the NOV board has 'high selection rate' which i'm sure you already saw that on USEREC website. You should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be fine  I saw it, I'm keeping my feet grounded though because I know that link applies to active duty personnel. Granted, it might apply to everyone as a whole but I'm going to just assume it's only active duty. Just gonna keep my fingers crossed and see what happens.

I3uller Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 The recruiting battalion commander called me himself to say that it was where it needed to be but I've heard that before so I have my doubts. Not much else to do but wait and hope for the word again this board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ja88Af Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Oh man well hopefully it got squared away this time. After I re-took my APFT and gave them my transcript, I stayed at the recruiting office and made calls all up and down USAREC to find out what exactly needed to be done to update my packet. Every number I called (except one) never answered, which I know was standard because it was nearing lunch time. Then I called 2 days later and just asked for a confirmation so I get the warm and fuzzy. There's always a part of me that remembers what it was like to be in the military, and have people tell you things just so you'll leave them alone. But I'm fairly used to this already as I'm sure you are, too. It's unfortunate that it is this way sometimes and we have done all we can.I hope they got you in for this go! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
