Continued from prior post:
I’m trying to understand how people are drilling before receiving their comdocs. Are people raising their hand and taking the oath to serve and then having a commissioning ceremony when all their paperwork and comdocs are in and done? Is comdocs short for commissioning documents? Do people drill as cadets before they are commissioned? If people are drilling as cadets, do they receive officer drilling pay or what is the drill pay for a cadet? When exactly is a DCO person commissioned? Is it after the comdocs? Doesn’t your packet and all your medical have to be approved before you’re commissioned? If so, how are people drilling before their packet and medical are done? I understand being a DCO and becoming an officer before DCO school, but when exactly does this direct commissioning happen? It’s right after the comdocs, right? How can somebody drill if their medical files are lost and they don’t have a PQ, and therefore comdocs (as I understand a prior post?)
Ok, I'll take a stab at this. Someone correct me if i'm off on anything...
They are drilling because they are already in the military - commissioning as an officer is a separate thing.
Commissioning documents = comdocs
DCO person is directly commissioned after scroll process is completed, they have completed MEPS and have Physically Qualified (PQ) letter, final select letter, and comdocs.
