Creep0321 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I have a single tattoo on my left arm that is the skyline of seattle. apparently, they (HRC) thinks its a sleeve tattoo…. yeah...does it extend at or below the elbow at all? or does it simply resemble a "half sleeve"?

rharris Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 It starts 1 inch below my elbow, and ends 1 inch above my wrist bone. Here's a pic of it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/y56tedz9wm7lqzm/Tattoo.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamer Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Yeah that's a no go... Waiver needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creep0321 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 That doesn't resemble a sleeve to me at all, but I wonder if its because it is larger than a hand, and below the elbow? Im sorry man, something you'd be willing to get removed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rharris Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Thing is, its not larger than my hand. I can cover it per the instructions in AR 670-1. But ya, Army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon B. Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Well thats unfortunate. I submitted my waiver 2 weeks ago. What I thought was an acceptable tattoo was in fact, not. Thanks Army.Just shows what we all assumed. They're not gonna allow tattoos if there is even a bit of doubt. Sorry man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USAR153D Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) How do they officially notify you of selection? Email/phone call? The Officer Accessions NCO I worked with said that 'someone' from HRC would be contacting me to arrange things from there if so. Hope Ft. Stewart has good cell service because I'll be in that pleasure filled place till the end of July...

Stewart has good cell service because I'll be in that pleasure filled place till the end of July...  Company Commander (CAPT) checked the results (early so I was told) since he knew I was applying and notified my recruiter, my recruiter then forwarded me his text. The May board took a full week(12 - 16), I was notified on Tuesday (20th), I enlisted on the 28th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StockTrader Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Missed this one by a few days. The next woft board is in OCT right? Same here but I believe the next one for civilians will be September Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFoski Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 That's what I thought too and was hoping for September. But if you look at the usarec website selection for 153a isn't checked. Which made me think the next one isn't until OCT/NOV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civilian WOFT packets are seen each board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFoski Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I'm not completely sure to be honest. I just had my battalion board last week and I thought they graded you on a 75 point scale. But my recruiter said they didn't but all recommended me for woft. So I don't know. I know I did well, the board members told me I was one of the best they ever boarded so we'll see.

I know I did well, the board members told me I was one of the best they ever boarded so we'll see.I didn't get to see my scores until just before I signed up and I had to ask them for the scores. They weren't exactly happy about wasting time searching for them either. But if they recommended you, that is a good step forward. MEPS has must have the scores on the system, getting them might be a different thing all together. EDIT: Fixed some random sh.. my auto correct added.

NCOtoWO Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Checked with USAREC today, looking like no tattoo waiver going through as of now. Figured as much. Fingers crossed that they'll approve/disapprove by Monday. Just wanting an answer at this point. Good luck to the guys with board ready packets! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
