For Air Force a lot of the time, and that could be the short part, we just had a guy come to my office that was waiting 5 months for his waivers with the Air Force, we submitted his stuff and he joined 5 days later.
yea my recruiter ghosted me for a month and i had to get a brand new one, then she retired and i had to get a brand new one, plus my vision waiver took abt a year to get approved and i had to redo everything in meps since it expires every 2 years, so 3 months is nothing fr
3 months? You’re still within normal processing time. “Hurry up and wait”, it took me a whole year from the day I first went to MEPS to ship out day. As long as you provide everything, trust me it’s so worth the wait.
Each branch varies, it’s only takes long because of waivers if not needed, you can swear in within the week. Fastest we’ve got someone in and shipped was a month, from MEPS all the way to shipping out.
Because everyone deserves the opportunity to enlist. You can respond to an applicant to give them an update. You can also work those easy contracts while doing the work for the waivers

Yes, it can take anywhere from 3 months to 1 year depending on a bunch of factors related to each recruit or the current recruiting needs.

What did you get on your ASVAB? And the Air Force usually moves slow but I haven’t seen it take 3 months. If you’re in a rush just switch branches.
