Army FY 2019

[msnapper]

Hello, All! My packet for 66P AD packet is almost complete and will be submitted for the October Board, fingers crossed. Anyone else waiting for this board? How has your whole process been? Anyone who has previously undergone this experience is more than welcome to give input! Thanks!

Finally have an update!

I received my orders today nearly 6 months after commissioning!

Waiting to hear back from my unit about when I'll start drilling and when I'll go to DCC/BOLC!

Awesome. You and msnapper will be in the same boat once you get scroll. Hopefully you won't have to wait as long as him for orders!

I hope so too but you never know maybe they are going to hustle since it’s getting close to the end of the FY

April people my status was updated in the system to “pending appointment” in the system on Thursday. Recruiter said scroll should be in any day.

Hi, wanted to see if anyone is willing to share samples of their Statement of motive for commissioning. I am waiting for a templet from my recruiter but interested in seeing what other people put in theirs (especially those who are successful in getting commissioned). Thank You!

I never received a template from my recruiter; all he told me was for it to be no longer than a page. I based my statement off of the Army’s values & how I exhibit them or have experienced them in my life.

good luck!

I just talked about my reasons for wanting to be in the Army. I also put in a blurb on my past job experiences and how these would be beneficial for my job in the Army. I also discussed leadership qualities.

I received a template, but I tried to make mine personal to me. It took me a couple days to write mine because it's difficult to convey in 1 page why they should pick me. Keep in mind the board is like your interview except you don't get to be there. Your packet of documents is the representation of you.

Even though my status updated in the system still no scroll yet. Like I said in an earlier post I’m sure it’s because of the holiday. How cool would that be to get news around the 4th of July ? with the length of time this has taken everyone to get scroll and orders for AD we are going ahead and booking a vacation for the fall. That means I’ll get orders soon and have to cancel right LOL hope everyone has a wonderful holiday week and stay safe!
