3. Getting your 368? ATTN! NEW1LT and Others

   vekrause replied to jerrylundergard's topic in Government

   As far as owing time/money, the Reserves told me it's Reserve money I borrowed, therefore I owe the Reserves. A little deeper digging and I found out that's not the case. Regardless, one still needs to honor their commitment to the Reserves (drills...

   vekrause replied to jerrylundergard's topic in Government

   I'm follwing up as much as possible. I've asked my Commander to inquire into as much as he can, and the civilian staff at APMC is working it too. As far as the 90 day rule, there is an "understanding" at USAREC that the 368 may take awhile and the ...

   I'm in the same boat as you New1LT. Waiting on my 368, sent through APMC back in mid August. I've been in touch with APMC to track it, still waiting to hear back. You said you have 60 days or you lose your spot? What spot is that?

   I was told one of my pending issues was a waiver for my rank, I was boarded as a 1st LT so my recruiter said I should maintain it. We'll see, but I won't argue the point, in is in.

   Do the contracts specify what course? From what I read, you're guaranteed a course, but not a specific one. Also, I was told that the Army has up until you have one year left to get you to your course.

    "After reading the article, I felt a little better knowing that we are still in demand after all." I received a letter from the Air Force saying they needed nurses, etc, etc. My wife is AD USAF and I know there are a few people leaving, so I called ...

    I spoke to my recruiter today, he said the earliest I would hear anything would be tomorrow, most likely next week, and they have up to 30 days to get the results out. He also said I would be selected, not selected, or put on some sort of alternate ...
