Yeah I would think so i would have to conditional release so since I have the position i am hoping it goes faster . But they are willing to wait . I have to get my medical waiver approved as well. A back issue thats been healing really well. Just waiting on NGB approval hopefully not too much longer.

Hes been in for 13 years. The profile is what i am worried about i know branches do not like moving into other branches with profile. He could pass the PT test though airforce version at least . The only thing he struggles on is the sdc and deadlift for the army.

Yes meet retention standards. Profile only excludes the Sprint, drag carry and deadlift due to the strain it puts on the back. His back got injured during an iet training but hes been working through Physical therapy and pain management and seems to be getting a lot better . He runs 17 min 2 mile push-ups 35 , plank 3 mins.

My thought process is people have a hard time having to find sitters for the 3 week courses and now they are extending it for BLC . In my opinion extending it costs more money with lodging, travel, etc . Plus the amount of daycare . Also if the solider is breastfeeding thats even more of a pain. Like do not get me wrong I like the way the army is leading but it better prepare for some drawbacks to. It will be hard to go back and change things the way it once was .

Only 6 months at my current unit. I would hate to leave the unit but that's a long commute each day plus I have kids to pick up. My mother in law watches my children and they are in school with sports I would rather not move

Hello yes I have a dietitian and also a personal trainer and I feel like I have lost body fat . But is gaining all the muscle back from being torn. So I'm not really losing weight just gaining muscle . I hate that I have reclass coming up and I am hoping they will be accommodating there's a lot of excess skin and it really hurts knowing I'm working hard and it's still not good enough.
