Yahoo! I was originally placed OML but my packet dropped down to board selected today. I applied back in November and got the letter in Dec. that said "congrats youve been selected but no open slots now so when they come available youll be contacted". I never figured they would contact me so Im suprised. Anyhow, I went in and signed my contract again. She said it would now go up chain until they cut me some orders!!! She said that would take a couple months, maybe summertime, what was everyone elses timeline?
Im curious though, my (14 page) contract said I had the guaranteed generic course. My packet has the paper signed for critical care course tdy en route to duty station. So I would go OBC straight to course then to duty station. She said the contracts hadnt been updated but that I was guaranteed to go to the critical care course off the bat based on the paper signed in my packet. I was a little concerned though that the contract itself states generic course guarantee without set date and doesnt mention critical care. Does that sound right?
She says I dont need to recommsion since Im already O1 in reserves. I already have signed DA 71 so I guess that doesnt need to be resigned for AD? Also, she said not to worry about the 368 and that they would make sure I got my orders and released from Reserves.
Anyhow, its hard to believe but Im pretty happy. Guess ill believe it better when I see actual orders or get a call from HRC. Is everyone getting there first duty station picks? Is Madigan a hard base to get? Thanks
