Hey everyone, I'm an Active Army selectee with what I think may be a common question. Is it OK to look for and entertain offers of employment after submitting the Statement of Intent? I'm just thinking about the gap between graduation and the start of training, or looking to the aforementioned scenario where one has to wait two years after dealing with the waiver process. Thanks for any feedback.

Has anyone taken the OPAT? Thoughts?

I'm still waiting for my information to be sent over so I can start the DODMERB stuff online.

I don't know why it's taking so long

Any idea when the JARO OPAT Memo will be sent out so we can schedule the test?

Hey, all. I have a quick question -- I was accepted into Army J.A.G. and just received a list of potential bases for active duty. Are there any advantages/disadvantages for bigger/smaller/international bases or certain locations? (i.e., would you get more experience at a bigger/smaller base, somewhere overseas, etc.). I would appreciate any information that anyone has. Thanks!

Anyone heading to March COT that has not received their base assignment? Or can anyone offer some advice on the process?

It is pretty late and I am trying to figure when I will know which base after COT and when I will be moving.

Thanks

Also set for March COT. No word on assignment either.

Do you know anything about the process? I.e., when we should hear? what we need to do for that before COT?

I haven't heard anything, but you can check this out: http://www.au.af.mil/au/holmcenter/OTS/ ... orting.asp

Not sure how much of that we can do without a point of contact though.

The email I got says that you can schedule it anytime at your local army recruiting office.

Mine does too but it says you have to bring a packet with you and part of the packet is the JARO OPAT memo.

Does yours say that?

Hi everyone,

Few questions regarding the JAG route (aiming Army/Navy). How much weight is given to your school's pretige or ranking? Clearly grades matter, but is there weight given to T1's over T2's for example? Also, if my path is the JAG route does it really matter what location I go to school? I would make sure I was okay ending up there just in case things didn't work out. Lastly, are my chances greatly increased with 12 years prior service and a stellar record? (NCO/Special Operations)

Any advice/help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Anybody heard back from AF JAG since the Dec board? I got the last email saying that there is a delay and they are working on to forward the process but I haven't heard anything back since. I haven't even done the medical interview yet.

It a long process especially if you are a 3l. I was selected Dec 2015 as a 3l and was just finally cleared medically. Just look over the sheet and everything you check yes to, get those medical records now. That will at least help you speed up the process while you are waiting for a response.

Did you need any waivers? If so, what is the process like and how long did it take you? Lastly, do you know when you will start COT?

[Anonymous User]

I actually did need a waiver, but I think my process was different. I was dq'd after medical records were sent, but MEPs still allowed me to take the physical. I took the physical and was still told I was dq'd and had to go through the surgeon generals office. But after MEPs I received the waiver in 5 days. And I'm off to March COT

I can't either because we were both anonymous. Try now.

Does anyone know what happens with the medical forms from the DODMERB physical? Do they get submitted electronically? Are they mailed?

The reason I ask is that when I went for my eye exam, the eye doctor saw me immediately, explained the process, performed the exam, and submitted it electronically on the spot and this is reflected on my application status.

The doctor, on the other hand, was a complete disaster. I was told I could not make an appointment and that I had to be a walk in, when I arriaved I waited for over 3 hours before being seen, the office was clearly understaffed, the doctor just took notes all over my packet, and my application status does not show anything for my physical. If he mailed the results in, I guess it could still be a few days before it gets processed, but if they are supposed to be submitted electronically or via fax, I think I may need to follow up to make sure he sent them over.

You should def follow up with the doctor. Both of my forms were submitted electronically.
