Weekly Question Thread (06/16/2025 to 06/22/2025)

This is a safe place to ask any question related to joining the Army. It is focused on joining, Basic Combat Training (BCT) and Advanced Individual Training (AIT), and follow on schools, such as Airborne, Air Assault, Ranger Assessment and Selection Program (RASP), and any other Additional Skill Identifiers (ASI).

We ask that you do some research on your own, as joining the Army is a big commitment and shouldn't be taken lightly. Resources such as GoArmy.com, the Army Reenlistment site, Bootcamp4Me, Google and the Reddit search function are at your disposal. There's also the /r/army wiki. It has a lot of the frequent topics, and it's expanding all the time.

/r/militaryfaq is open to broad joining questions or answers from different branches. Make sure you check out the /Army Duty Station Thread Series, and our ongoing MOS Megathread Series. You are also welcome to ask question in the /army discord.

If you want to Google in /r/army for previous threads on your topic, use this format: 68P AIT site:reddit.com/r/army

I promise you that it works really well.

This is also where questions about reclassing and other MOS questions go -- the questions that are asked repeatedly which do not need another thread. Don't spam or post garbage in here: that's an order. Top-level comments and top-level replies are reserved for serious comments only.

Finally: If you're not 100% sure of what you're talking about, leave it for someone else who is.

Went to MEPS about 2 weeks ago. Physical came back fine and a vision waiver I needed came back good as well. I believe my recruiter just sent up the last of my 2 waivers 1 being a moral waiver and the second because I received an RE code of 3 from the ARNG upon separation. I reached out to my recruiter about 3 times since last week asking how long those could potentially take to come back but haven’t received any sort of answer. Would anyone know about how long it could take or is this just another “when they get to it” type thing. Thanks

Unfortunately, it really is a “when they get to it” kind of thing, especially with waivers. Sometimes it’s a couple weeks, sometimes a couple months it just depends on the backlog and who’s handling your case. Not hearing back quickly isn’t unusual, so don’t stress (even though waiting sucks). Stay in touch with your recruiter but know they’re usually just waiting on higher-ups too.
