r/ArmyRecruiterHelp

Hello. i am currently a 19 year old that has a life long history of having trouble with MK and

AR in general. my brain just doesn't stick it. or comprehend it. i've been in the process of joining since 17 and every time it's the math and numbers that get me other than that im flawless at everything. i honestly lost all hope till recently. i want to try again. i feel lost. it's all my fault at the end of the day if i don't get it this time with a tutor.

Any Tips or Advice?

He had a great job picked out temporarily reserved before going to MEPs 2 weeks ago. He ended up needing a waiver and it took 2 weeks to process so he lost the seat. Once the waiver was approved yesterday, the recruiter called with the only 3 jobs available and he hated all of them. They said they would call “The ROC” to see if anything he wanted would be available. Head guy at the recruiting station called him back last night and said none were available. My son felt pressured to pick a job he really don’t want because they said he waiver would expire Monday.

Trying to enlist or commission in part-time to get a clearance...I've always had school accommodations as my mom got me them when I was younger. I've now completed my bachelor's and will be completing my masters. However, I was told by the recruiter to get a letter stating my accommodations were offered but not used, which is true. But since my accommodations have always automatically renewed, the university won't write it. Any advice? I can get a couple letters from employers stating I didn't/don't have accommodations but not the school. Am I just out of luck at this point?

Background.

Prior service/ army reserve.

Looking at re enlisting, I’ve been on TRT for approximately 2 years.

I’m totally out of IRR.

What are my realistic expectations getting through meps and not disqualifying.

One ARR recruiter telling me should be no issue, just write everything down.

Guard recruiter telling me to not say anything and to not “disqualify myself” before I start the process.

Just looking for any guidance or if anyone has dealt with enlisting a soldier with history of testosterone therapy.

I’m 44 years old looking to join the Army and I know I’ll need an age waiver, I’ve got a Master’s in Public Administration and a BA in Political Science with a clean background, I’ve put in the work to get myself in a position to do this and I’m serious about moving forward, doing this to better my family’s situation, open to active or reserve and ready to go right away, just trying to see if anyone here has been through the waiver process or knows a recruiter willing to work with it and can point me in the right direction.

Hey im thinking about joining but music is a big passion in my life

Any tips insight or comments would be greatly appreciated

Side question: any tips to pass rasp?

So I’m going to message my recruiter Monday, just because I’m probably going to forget this weekend cause I’m swamped. But today we filled out Meps papers and I listed 13 tattoos and I didn’t realize until speaking with my spouse that I actually forgot to mention that I have another set of tattoos. I have my nipples tattooed into hearts, and I forget they’re even done because it’s a nude color and honestly they aren’t very noticeable.

I should let him know to update the paperwork right?? I feel awful for not mentioning it 🤦🏼‍♀️ but at this point it also feels really random to just send a text to let dude know to add nipple tattoos to my list.

I’m 23 Years old and want to enlist in the army.. but I have a deferred adjudication for a third degree felony (theft). It happened when I was 19 years old. I wasnt convicted but the army still treats it as guilty. It involved my brother as well. We stole a total amount of $62k which I know is an outrageous amount. It was more of a half and half thing, but even then 30k is a lot. Nothing else on my record
Anyone have an idea of my chances of getting this waiver approved? I take my asvab May 1st and I know I’ll get a good score. Then right after that I will submit a moral waiver packet. I also have an associates degree.
just wanted to see if anyone here has an idea of what my chances look like or how long I should expect the wait time to be

Thanks in advance!

Can someone confirm that if I enlist as a 35M HUMINT and try to packet to 37F PSYOPS but fail selection, I’ll revert to 35M. Not looking to be an MP.

I’ve needed a waiver for my hearing before. my medical stuff expired so i had went back and got everything finished. when consulting with the doctor my hearing was still the same, i only failed by one decibel and needed a waiver, they had me re tested and the person running my test had left the room which just left me in there. after the test was done he opened the door and said “oh i accidentally restarted your test a few times don’t tell anyone” and as i was heading back to the desk the doctor then gets the results from the person running the test and she said i had passed, asked if i cheated and i said no. but im concerned that not having the waiver will only do me more harm at reception. i know i will fail if i don’t spam that button but i don’t want to rely on luck. is it possible for me to get re tested? supposed to be going in with a 68w acasp contract. i do NOT want to reclass🙏

(sorry for the long paragraph just wanted to give full story)

I’m looking to get some more information about PSYOPS. For context, I’m 34 and I’ve been practicing law for about 7 years. I don’t really find it rewarding, and as I’ve gotten older, I’ve regretted not serving more and more. I think I will one day really regret it, but age is becoming a factor fast so its either now or never. I am drawn to PSYOPS because I’m really into the geopolitics and cultural analysis aspects. I know the fine details of selection are probably classified, but I’m hoping to get some guidance on whether a 34 year old with a law degree would fit with the culture, what the day-to-day looks like once selected, whether physical or analytical ability is more important for selection, what separates those who pass from those who don’t, what do career prospects look like on the other side, what did you wish you kew going in, etc. I have a 99 ASVAB and 112 DLAB and passed MEPS. My recruiter is just waiting for my green light to find a training seat.

I have reached out to my recruiter, but he hasn’t been able to track a 37F down to speak with directly.

Any insight is appreciated and thanks in advance.

Hello, I was hoping to gain clarification regarding my asvab score. I joined national guard 10 years ago and shipped to basic, but I did not complete my training. I have an re3 JFW for a medical issue that wasn’t disclosed. It’s set and I’m good to go and I’m currently speaking with a reserve and guard recruiter. I have 27 level 100 college credits. I scored a 66 on the asvab. The guard recruiter told me I have to retake the asvab and go in as e1, and the reserve recruiter told me that in the army once you ship on an asvab score it’s good for life and I don’t need to retest. He also told me since I have over 24 credits that I can go in reserve as e2. Which is the truth regarding this? Any help is appreciated. I have a wife and three kids and looking to scratch the itch to serve. I’m looking to go MP which both have units close to me so that’s not an issue. I’m ok with deploying when needed, but I’m looking for the least amount of disruptions and more stability in my service. TRICARE and the va home loan are the benefits I care for the most. I know MA guard has better education benefits, but reserves are good enough for me to finish my degree at my community college and become a cop. Thanks everyone.
