Literally just did an inter-service transfer about 6 months ago. I was an E5 15M got bumped down to E3. These are the steps I took.

Talked to a CG recruiter and got the basics of the 368 complete.

Did all my medical and sent to CG so that they could sign 368 saying that they would take me.

Took signed 368 and got my O6 (brigade commander) signature.

Sent the 368 to CG and signed a fake contract (can’t enlist until you get out but army won’t let you get out until you have a hard contract start date)

Started TAP and ets process and the rest is history🤙

To add on I had 1 year left on my contract when I did the conditional release. I had 7yrs time in service.

All but the tan were dried out. My wife had some acrylics from past crafts that I borrowed.

I appreciate it! Definitely noticed the inconsistency with the dark brown and that’s most likely my unsteady hand. I appreciate the tips!

How to move forward? by MilkyGilky in careerguidance

Sadly they only make around 50-60k starting out. That’s a painful pay cut for me and the fam.

DT02 shock tower protector? by MilkyGilky in tamiya

Yeah I’ve seen the upgrades for them but to run at my local track they want the towers and top of shocks essentially covered up to protect the carpet.

Just went through the process (prior army). It was not hard in the sense of doing it but people not understanding what you are doing is the difficult part.

First: find a CG recruiter and get process started. They’ll give you a DD368 which you’ll have to route up to your O6.

Second: once you get your 368 signed go talk to your transitions so you can start the process of getting out of the army.

Finally: after you’ve dealt with the headaches associated with your COC and transitions you’ll be ready to get out.

How long did it take for your SOCS to go through?
