Question regarding recruitment protocol--NavyOffRec, you may have the best insight on this one.
Long story short, I feel like there is a severe lack of communication between my recruiter and I with respect to my kit and its progress/status. I try to stay in the loop by calling to check in with my recruiter every couple of weeks, but never get straight answers to my questions and sometimes don't receive a callback at all. As a result, I am having a difficult time determining whether I am simply being strung along or if there are legitimate underlying issues holding things up that I am not aware of.
I am hesitant to assert myself out of fear of being denied the opportunity to apply altogether, but I also recognize that my future is on the line and the lives of my family and I are on hold until I am either selected or surpass the age limit.
In any case, I was hoping someone with similar experience or inside information could shed some light on my situation so I can make a better decision as to how I will move forward to resolve the issue. My thought is that I should just be upfront with my recruiter about everything and see what he has to say, but I want to ensure I am not crossing any lines. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers!
