Hey all ... couple questions here. My application is mostly complete but I'm running into a long MEPS delay. My recruiter is saying its due to COVID. Has anyone in the Southern California area experienced this? I submitted my 2807 over a month ago. I only ask because I'm hearing from one of my buddies that just did enlisted MEPS at the same facility that he had no problem getting an appointment.
Question #2, My recruiter has mentioned a "rolling aviation board" that meets as needed, sometimes even monthly, once they have enough pilot applicants. Does anyone have any more information on how this board is convened?
So it looks like I won't make the deadline for today but here are my stats.
I know being prior service myself that we have to send in all of our medical records, I think my pre-screen took a couple weeks to be accepted and reviewed because it was a couple hundred pages. The difference may be that your friend wasn't prior service or didn't submit a huge medical document for pre-screening?
I agree with exNavyOffRec, that doesn't sound right about what the recruiter is telling you about the boards. The SNA/NFO board has had a set schedule for the whole year with the exception of the earlier ones being pushed for COVID but we're not doing rolling boards.
Maybe talk to another recruiter and see what they say?
