    Switching from DEO merit list to NCM application?

    Hey Allgunzblazing, This is how I feel; 1. I'm not sure what is worse, waiting a year+ as a civilian in a unrelated trade, or working for a year+ as a NCM. I feel like the NCM position would allow me to earn respect by showing them who I am. Ultimately, I do want to be the best possible...

As such, I am willing to do anything to make that happen, even if it means taking a longer route to reach my final goals, whether that means reserves or a non-commissioned position.

    keeping contact with your recruiter

    This is what my recruiter just told me regarding Infantry Officers; "Your file is on the Merit List and will be active until July 2012.  I recommend for you to update the interview and medical in Jun/July time frame and then your file will remain on the list.  They did not hire many at the end...

    keeping contact with your recruiter

    Waiting to get in probably wasn't part of your original plan (I know it wasn't part of mine), but don't waste this time.
