Checking in from the July Board
Question for all you guys and gals who have been waiting in purgatory for awhile. Were most of you waiting to finish your degree? Does being prior service help get a finsel faster?
There are people from our board on here who received their letters for August. I'm in the same boat with the lack of information from my recruiter. I can't imagine that we would be expected to report on the 21st and still not know, considering that is only 18 days away. You never know though!
Wow!! I'm in a rare situation where I could literally ship out tomorrow, but I understand it isn't that way for most people. I hope things work out and you will be able to go in October! With the way you phrased it, it seems more like a request and he wouldn't get too upset about you waiting. I read someone else being asked to ship out within 48 hours. I'm sure that was under very unique circumstances.I got a call from my recruiter today asking how I felt about being shipped out this month. When I met with him the first time I told him I didn't want to ship before October of 2016 and he said that wasn't a problem at all. Now it's like he's feeling me out to try and fill this month's quota. There's no way I could sort out things at work, deal with what will happen to my household goods and car, and ship on a little over a two week's notice
Anybody else from the 18 May 2016 Pilot/NFO board still waiting on FINSEL? My recruiter told me that mine was still waiting to be signed
