My recruiter told me that I can pick my COT date he never assigned me one or elluded that he had to choose it. He says I get acceptance then I swear in and I have up to a year to go to COT. My packet has been at SG for a while and they just sent a week worth of blood pressure checks because at MEPS my pressure was high. It has been resolved because I never had any blood pressure issues in the past.
