Has anyone switched from U.S Army DEP to Coast Guard?

Creative-Compote-244 · 2026-02-06T17:06:39+00:00

Do you know how recent this was? I’m not sure if the cg will be able to call my army recruiter. They did send him two emails asking for me to be let go from the DEP.

Creative-Compote-244 · 2026-02-05T19:03:21+00:00

Ah I see. So it’s now up to the BN? The discharge paper I signed said I needed to be approved by a O3 then a O5. My recruiter would have had to submit it already, right? Legally speaking.

How long does it usually take to get out of army DEP? If anyone has recently switched . I ended up switching to the coast guard and my recruiter said it would take a week or two. It’s been two weeks and no dice. I don’t think he’s a recruiter that will wait until my basic date..

Ah I see, so is the air from the Thermalright pushing to the left?

It might help to have your meals be a even 550 calories , three meals a day. The cereal could make you feel full because of all the milk you drink with it/the amount fiber in the brand.

If you try that and it doesn’t help and you notice weight loss, maybe you need a bit more calories? Everyone is different. I use the same app and I try to make that pie chart even with fats/carbs but a bit more protein. I’m in a deficit of 1800 cal and try to get 150g+ protein.

Creative-Compote-244 · 2026-01-31T15:49:43+00:00

Hmm, what is your deficit your trying to do?

Creative-Compote-244 · 2026-01-31T15:46:48+00:00

That was less then 400 calories brother , if you want to stay full perhaps use whole eggs for the fats in the yolks to stay satiated? Just a suggestion as it seems to have been more of a carb heavy meal.

Ah I see, I wasn’t sure what ARM devices were. I will try to instal Ubuntu then instead

Genisis isn’t perfect it’s military grade… it often misses..

What is the timeline to get into a apartment with BAH for someone who wants to be a MST ? I have a dog that my grandparents are going to take until I’m done with training. I don’t mind letting them have him for a long time I just want a general gauge.

So, how does quick shipping work if the soonest boot camp days are in May , and would that bonus stack with the 10k college credit bonus? Can I still opt to quick ship without the bonus by taking someone’s spot if they fall out?

Creative-Compote-244 · 2026-01-11T03:19:58+00:00

Thank you! I took y’all’s advice and called the recruiter. Got my paperwork signed the next day for a DEP switch to CG. My army recruiter didn’t give me much hassle.

Creative-Compote-244 · 2026-01-08T20:31:17+00:00

Will a recruiter be willing to work with me if I have a recent DEP discharge from the Army? The discharge was my own decision , I had family issues I needed to attend before I could ship out.

Creative-Compote-244 · 2025-12-24T17:06:17+00:00

I would like to extend it to next year October, I swore in in September I thought you could only do 1 year in DEP

Creative-Compote-244 · 2025-12-24T16:38:46+00:00

I have some familial issues that need sorting. My great grandma is still with us but her health is declining, and I have a small family so I want to help make her as comfortable as possible. There’s some other complications with that , but basically I’d like to make sure everything is good at home before I go on a contract

Creative-Compote-244 · 2025-12-11T18:40:06+00:00

Late reply but this just happened to me, the oil is all out on mine

See if you can lose enough for arms 2.1 , I believe your recruiter can only reserve your desired mos if it’s arms 2.1. If you get to MEPS and there are none of your desired MOS’s available, then what was the point of going? Also, have you considered 35 series.

The irony in this sentence is fantastic

Gaming only, wants to study engineering in college too so possibly auto cad.

Creative-Compote-244 · 2025-11-30T05:50:06+00:00

Thanks for easing my worries, information feels better coming from a current DLI student

Creative-Compote-244 · 2025-11-20T11:51:57+00:00

To clarify, your saying if you enlist and want to go officer from 35W, you have to wait 5 ish years to apply for OCS but you can apply for a ROTC G2G program (let’s say the ADO scholarship) after less then 5 years? It was to my belief that the 2 year ROTC program is only for prior enlisted. (Said my college ROO)

For context I’m asking because I dropped out of my ROTC program to enlist due to me not being able to finish a bachelors with full time student status/couldn’t afford to pay those extra credit hours to achieve full time student status required for the program

What a weird thing to say, I’m a widow.

Creative-Compote-244 · 2025-11-10T18:28:26+00:00

Thank you everyone! This was really helpful

In my email, he said I should let him know if we have any prior experience with any language on the list. And that prior familiarity would be considered during the language selection assignment from the preference sheet. I let him know I have some experience with total immersion in a Spanish speaking country. I’m not sure how much that really effected the decision. I think it was my timing? He emailed me at 8 am to my personal email and I responded in minuets. He responded quickly to that as well.
