No apology needed brah, shoot me straight, I can handle it. That August board hard-cutoff on the website we have posted on this thread is June 25. On that site, which I believe is NRD San Diego, they have district only cutoff of June 5 though, so like I said, end of May is entirely too close for my comfort. And I’m very much wholly invested in this process, I have 4 years left till I need an age waiver so I’ve got time. I think what really put me off this time around was just how uniquely scatter brained my OR was (which I’m sure you can relate to). It’s very apparent to me he planned on submitting my package on the very last day and when wrenches got thrown in at the last minute, it all fell apart when we could have had it all sorted out back in February.Forgive me for being a little direct...
When you started this thread, you said you were willing to wait as long as it takes. I know it is difficult not to lose hope when setbacks occur, I too have fallen prey, but you have to stick to your mentality of waiting as long as it takes to get selected. And speaking of, no, you should not be okay with not being selected if this is what you want to do per your last post.
Many of us, myself included, have missed many many boards and due dates. I’ve been trying to get an application submitted for over a year and missed multiple boards due to my recruiter essentially disappearing. Instead of blaming it on my recruiter...I started reaching out to whoever I possibly could to get movement the way I wanted it and ended up getting a call from my recruiters chief and things have been smooth sailing since then-pun intended.
If you want your recruiter to submit your package now for the august board and he won’t, simply ask if there is a rule that prohibits him from doing so. When I had a ton of issues with my recruiting process, my active duty buddy reminded me that it is their job to get qualified people in the military and to answer your questions...just ask. Additionally, what is the package due date for August board?
