Hi all, first id like to thank all who contribute to this great website, and those who read my post and those who respond to it.
My story in a nut-shell. I WAS PRO-REC back in march, and I was asked to go to OCS late march then April. But For family reasons i was unable to go (Basically, both my parents were laid off due to the economic down turn, which let my sister and I to take over all the house payments as we had to support a family of 6. I couldnt forgo my salary, so i kept on delaying until i couldnt delay no more, and i my slot was given to someone else.) I contacted my recruiter again 2 months ago, basically 2 months after this whole ordeal, and i explained to him my situation and why i couldnt go back then. He was very understanding, and asked me to write all on a paper, sign and send. which i did of course.
Bc i did well on my astb's had a good GPA, and really good recommendation letters, i was assured that i should be ok. My recruiter even went a step further saying that i may not have to go to the board, i may just have to go to OCS (since i was selected previously).
Unfortunately, My package wasnt sent for the sept board bc it was full. it was sent over to the october board instead. I call the navy recruiting station today to check on a status update, and the processor informed that i have to redo my package again, bc i was accepted more than 6 months ago (though im not of that, as i was informed of the acceptance back in march.) Now, she wasnt sure what that meant, as my recruiter was in a national conference for recruiters.
Now, here is why im freaking out, im 26 years old (july 29-1983), and im not sure what does redoing my package mean? i remember it was a very long tedious process when i did it, anywhere between the SF-86 forms, and rec letters etc. does that mean i have to redo all that? if so, that means ill be missing the october board, am i right? when will the next board be? what can i do to speed the process? is that anything i should? some of my rec letters have been written over a year ago, what if i cant get a hold of those people? (why do the recommendation letters expire? i mean what people thought of me then is still the same as they do now)
Please advise if you need further details about myself, i dont mind sharing, i just wasnt sure as what to put down. as you all now, the process is very long, and lots of info was asked of me.
Once again, thank you for your time and patience.
Sincerely,
