Army: I've been selected... Heard nothing else

Published

So I have been informed that the selection board for July selected me. I asked my recruiter for a timeline and he says he doesn't know when I'll commission or get orders. There has to be an order to commission me and then HR will get in touch with me through e-mail.

Student loans kick in 6 months after graduation and I have no idea when anything is going to happen. I'm going to have to get a nursing job and hope I don't piss anybody off if I only work for 2 months. Anyway, does anybody have a clue as to what the timeline is on this? How long could this take?

You had to apply for clearance when you already have one? Is this one supposed to be a more thorough investigation than what you already did?

I have no idea! I asked my recruiter about it and he never gave me an answer. Mine is good for another year, from when I was previously active duty. Maybe it needed to be redone since it was close to expiring?

Are you reserves now? You guys don't have something like an S2 or anything equivalent to check your status? Although I'm not sure if they can see what your recruiter sees... If he even sees anything! This whole process is just a lot of waiting in the dark.

No, I am not. It's frustrating because I live in Germany and people are wanting to come visit but I am not sure when I will be leaving. :/
