Did y'all get this via mail or something? I was basically told that they're not going to do anything until December, a month before my OCS date.

I was told to expect some paperwork in that vein and that I would be doing the officer form of DEP, so like self report PFTs with an in-person PFT every 3 months, monthly zoom calls with info to prep for OCS, etc. I have yet to receive anything and was told not to expect anything until next month though.

The great majority of paper work for a civilian appears when you get your final select which is about a month before your ocs date. That’s when you’ll swear in and sign about 40 ish pages of paper work. Now you can get a final select early I’m leaving in August and my final select appeared first week of June and I’ve only heard of one other civilian in my class who also received theirs that early. Up until that I did the monthly recertification form. But when you do get your final select pay close attention to reviewing it cause they accidentally had a few typos when transferring my information over onto the forms.

Also be careful y’all and don’t get shin splints lol cause I totally did my PRT with them today and luckily it went well but wasn’t a pleasant time. So just take care of yourself and don’t overdo it.

Yes! Stretching and rolling out after workouts is crucial. Especially for shin splints. Rolling out your calves sucks but it’s probably the best thing to do for shin splints. I did that in college and I didn’t have any shin splints my senior year.

Yeah never in my life had I had them till I got them for the first time recently it’s definitely not a fun time. Haha funny how you can be running for awhile and then suddenly of course get them right around when you truly need to run your best. But highly recommend everyone take care of yourself and also properly rest when you do have set backs like shin splints.

The further over the age limit the more remote it becomes, it has only been in the past few years they allowed it, several years ago when they had an abundance of candidates the rule was hard and fast on age, so much so that if a person was in OCS and had medical hold or was rolled for another reason which would put them over the age limit they would have to redesignate or go home.

It is also important to remember that while NRC "approves" the waiver that is just to be seen at the board, the board itself can still look at the age and say "no".

So my recruiter said I didn't need to worry about getting an age waiver for the October board since I don't turn 32 until next May, but that's cutting it way too close for comfort. Are you able to apply for a waiver when you're still 31? Will they decide not to select you if you don't have an age waiver because they can't get you to OCS quickly enough? How does someone that's 31 handle this? I assumed I'd just "preemptively" apply for one so that my May birthdate wouldn't prevent me from being selected, but I'm getting some feedback that it doesn't really work that way since I'm not 32 yet.

Your recruiter really should find out the probability of you getting to OCS in Jan 2023 if selected, if that can't happen then they should get a waiver lined up for you.

This is exactly what I’ve been thinking. So it is something you can do in advance? Good to know. I absolutely would love to ship to OCS in January but with the way things are going I’m not expecting that or counting on it.

I was originally supposed to leave in January 2022, and I turn 32 at the end of this month. I got an age waiver approved sometime in March. I don't know if I'm still good to go, but my recruiter said that age waivers pretty much go through automatically
