KMKarlinski Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Too bad we can't delete here. =/ Didn't catch the typo. Didn't mean to post twice. Quote
TriViper Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I feel you, KM -- this is rough. It could be that many are taking Friday off to start their extended holiday weekend. Quote
ShaneWey Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 I would hope they would get everything squared away for y'all before they took off for a 4 day weekend but that wouldn't be their style . I hope you guys get some word before next Tues.@KM, not that it matters really but you can edit your posts afterwards Quote
TriViper Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 My recruiter called me the first day of the Board (Monday) and said I'd "probably" be selected, which I thought was very strange. He then said he'd follow up later that day, or Tues, and that I could go to MEPs to sign my paperwork on Friday. I haven't heard back or been able to reach him since. Quote
nskojo Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 If you guys can't access it pm me your name Quote
ShaneWey Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 @ Triviper Not saying you should be worried but I definitely wouldn't trust him. Your recruiter may be a great recruiter, and a great guy, but he isn't on the USAREC board. If you really can't get a hold of him, at this point, it might not be a bad idea to give a friendly call to BTN Congrats NSKOJO!! Quote
KMKarlinski Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Congratulations nskojo! Random side. I guess it's my phone that won't let me edit. At least I don't see an option for that. Quote
TriViper Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I tried calling USAREC. No one there. Tried Battalion. No one there who knew my status. Tried my recruiting station. A recruiter was there, but not my recruiter. He said I probably should have received a call if I was selected, but he couldn't confirm my status. My recruiter won't be available until Tuesday. This is incredibly frustrating. Quote

This is incredibly frustrating.Very. I just tried calling my recruiting station again. No answer. Its like they all decided to take a vacation on the same day! Going to try one more time later but I'm guessing they did close for the holiday. Worst part is, from what I understand there's a ten business day window in which we would have to secure our jobs from the release of the list (Wednesday). Quote
TriViper Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I'm going to try their cell phones now... Quote
nskojo Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Def try cell phones. It's a 4 day for most AD Quote
KMKarlinski Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I've been selected!!! I tried the cell of the SFC at the recruiting station and it turns out they were in training. Which is why no one answered. 2 Quote

KMKarlinski Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Thanks! Definetly makes the past year and half of struggles worth while. Now to figure out what happens next. 1 Quote
skyreaper Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I was told I have until Jan. 30 to get in the Future Soldiers Program. Never heard of it before, I assume that is basically DEP and also assume the time allotment is the same for all selects from this board. Congrats. Quote
KMKarlinski Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 KM sounds so strange. You can call me Kelly. Skyreaper, the SFC I spoke with mentioned I need to be in the army by the 30th. Wouldn't be surprised if he was referring to the same thing. Quote
cwil7280 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I was told I have until Jan. 30 to get in the Future Soldiers Program. Never heard of it before, I assume that is basically DEP and also assume the time allotment is the same for all selects from this board. Congrats.So I found out I was selected on Wednesday and went on Thursday (yesterday) to sign my contract at my MEPS station. As a civillian you will probably swear in at that time as well. I believe you have until the 30th though, I was told I would have 15 days to sign my contract after being informed I was accepted or else I would miss the opportunity. When I signed my contract, I was given dates for boot camp (BCT) and WOCS. The time between signing your contract and leaving for training is considered "the future soldiers program" and you were spot on, it is the same as DEP. You should get your school dates once you sign your contract as well. Congrats, and maybe I will see you at Rucker! 1 Quote
infinityx34 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Hello everyone Just registered on this forum but have been following up for a while. A lot of really useful and good information. I want to cogratulate those who got selected and want to say thanks to everybody for the information. Got selected too finally. Those last 2 weeks went really slow for me. I am active duty so I just was waiting for the milper message to come out. Quote
