Some of our officer recruiters can easily have 100 applicants they are working with at any one time.
I was one of the most prolific recruiters, not just for my NRD but in the nation and I never had 100 applicants at a time. OR's are required to work with and process applicants that meet the requirement set forth in the PA, this is something they have no choice in, they cannot just "move on" to another applicant.
I was mostly being sarcastic, always gonna be chaos of dealing with MEPS and what not. It's like the joke of why you never see an Air Force recruiter, they don't have to recruit, recruits find them.
Maybe applicants is the wrong word. More like "interested people" that are still trying to gather their documents. Since the NTAG conversion, its normal to get 10-15 leads per day to our officer recruiters.
Yeah that makes sense. I can agree that it is convenient to be in a career path that sells itself.
Leads are one thing, most never result in anything, when a person commits to gathering documents then you know there is commitment.
Kinda, I'd hoped to submit to the last board but had a bad ASTB so this will now be my first
Just make sure your transcripts reflect you have been awarded the degree and you should be fine.
It doesn’t need to reflect it but I highly doubt your final transcript will be ready by then. Mine took 6 weeks just to finalize and then shipping for another week. There’s a reason people don’t get handed diplomas at graduation, just an empty tube.
I've been working with my school, and the advisor said as soon as my teachers input my final 2 grades they're going to rush to confer my degree. So hopefully it works out ??
Oh hell yeah, that’s good on them. I meant to follow up but lost service all morning. Since that is a soft date because of your waiver, if they don’t rush it out Paul may be willing to work with you to review the packages sans final transcript if it’s back before the hard date. Can’t say for sure but he seems like a good, albeit busy, guy.
