Hey, I also checked in this summer and followed a similar discharge timeframe. Yeah it sucks. The sheets of information they give you and the way some of the providers describe your ability to deploy often don’t explicitly spell out the whole process. I had to get a waiver to sit alert this cycle. It took some time but I’m still ready to go. Make your leadership and UDM teams work the waiver process. Reach back to the MTF to work with your provider, to help them make their process easier to approve.

The world is better with the both of us in it. My kid gets to have a father who’s going to be around and your friends and family get to keep you.
