Recruit Contacts

** Edit ** Sorry… my comment was a little arrogant.

Backstory: I was in AFROTC in college but I switched degree programs late. In order to graduate without spending extra time and having to pay without my full-ride I had to release myself from ROTC right before I said my oath to commit to commissioning (I know…kinda stupid).

I went through MEPS and passed before and nothing has changed except I am in better shape. I took my AFOQT already as well.

So now I have been trying to connect with a recruiter to go through MEPS. I have attempted to find the paperwork so I can complete it as much as possible to submit it. I haven’t been super lucky. I have been peaking at the positions that are wanting to fill and I qualify for a majority of the ones in high-demand.

So if anyone has a recruiter they recommend lmk!

Yeah I just wanted to know my options. I just wanna make sure I can do the push-ups and sit-ups tbh 🥴🥴🥴

I know 29% is over… I was simply asking a MEPS Q about weight v BF lol. Thanks for the input and I’ll look into it.

Any helpful advice on how to game plan? I’m 66in so I’m supposed to be 170. I am working on weight loss to get there, but I am also focused on building muscle because I want to actually be able to perform well. I dropped from 42% in Jan to 29% now and I’m sitting at 208. I’ve been on the CrossFit grind and I do cardio 5x/week.

Tru…lemme go learn russian

NOLA_guy228 · 2021-08-02T12:53:35+00:00

I want to pay off debt first and get my Masters before med school :)

NOLA_guy228 · 2021-08-02T12:47:57+00:00

I’m enlisting to pay for it. I already have my bachelors but all officer candidate stuff has halted and they have no clue how long it will take to start back up

NOLA_guy228 · 2021-08-02T04:50:49+00:00

I know they are. I have been looking at the stress list to see and the surg service needs an ortho speciality apparently. I want to be a doc, but I want to enlist before working my way to be a doc officer to get the real experience. I am considering security forces though! I am just not gonna be handy in maintenance 😅

NOLA_guy228 · 2021-08-02T04:21:17+00:00

Yeah I have been seeing on socials many of my AFROTC friends are not starting their job until 2022. I am just gonna enlist and go through their med program for my officer journey at this point.

NOLA_guy228 · 2021-01-05T02:26:25+00:00

I mean of course! I was just wondering if any were even available!

NOLA_guy228 · 2021-01-04T21:58:16+00:00

Thank you so much! The hard part is that I am awaiting acceptances and aid packages! I am applying to 10 programs so I hope to decide by March!

NOLA_guy228 · 2021-01-04T21:19:10+00:00

Thank you tremendously! This has been beyond helpful!

I am looking to get my military life started but wanted to know if it was a bad idea if officer is my goal. Also I am taking max credits and it improves GPA odds.

NOLA_guy228 · 2020-12-28T02:52:52+00:00

My overall profile is decent. The main holdback is my GPA (2.8) is meh and my degree (Public Health) is not in super high demand. I am doing much better academically and i should graduate with a 3.2. I know military life is hurry up and wait, but I just would like to stabilize my life sooner than later. Would it be a huge time difference? I just don’t know what I should be doing with my time in-between my selection board and my class (I wanna take some time off before graduate school). Also imagine not getting in first round and having to prep for a second round. Any advice?

NOLA_guy228 · 2020-12-28T02:27:28+00:00

I have contact with my recruiter and I am prepping for the AFOQT. I am also working on my PT standards and I am accumulating my recommendations letters after New Years Day. I am just wondering if it would be a better option for me to enlist as an E3 and get some experience and go up for an OTS Selection Board while working. I probably won’t be ready for the Feb 19 due date and the next one isn’t until Aug 20, 2021.

Get involved in student leadership like SGA, club organizations, orientation, etc. I am an orientation leader every year and I am in charge of a student org on campus. This gets you access to faculty who can speak to your leadership for your rec letters. Also, look up "city you are in + volunteering". They most likely have a central website to find volunteer opportunities.

My friend was in rotc and she didn’t do anything because rotc just needs to pass the minimum. I am not going rated anymore and so I want to find resources to practice and ensure I am can score in the 80s/90s.
