I have submitted my Blue to Green package a while ago waiting to hear from MEPS to recently hear from a recruiter not even my own that a new message has come out today at exactly 1200 locking out E-4 and E-5 prior service members from joining the Army, especially18X not being an option.
Jet
I am prior service Army, E-4 and I talked to my recruiter here in Central Ohio on Friday. They are still accepting prior service candidates so you may want to contact another recruiter or one in another area. Just an opinion, diferent service branches may have different rules.

I went to MEPS in Columbus, Ohio on January 7 and 18x was not available for prior service or non-prior service. Does anybody know how this would happen but then a few days later, other people are getting it?

Bug your recruiter sometimes we get USAREC messages that will allow our Future Soldiers to ship before their actual ship date.
9 months is not a very long time to wait. 12 months waiting to see your family can be long but that is still not a long time.
Good luck brother and bug your recruiter.

If you are not CURRENTLY an 18X, Rep63, or a Vetted QP............... GET THE HELL back into your LANE!!! Also if you have an "SF Canditate" Title, you know where to post something like this!!!
Be careful if you are thinking about a response!! My..... Warning Shots..... are normally through the LEFT TEMPLE!!

18x. Leave in mid-Febuary.
I recently went through the process of reenlisting (prior service 18E) and I noticed something pretty startling. The only MOS open for prior service soldiers is 18X. This wouldn't be alarming if I didn't see what I saw- two 18xers who were not physically or mentally ready to go the SF route. Neither of them knew the difference between rangers or special forces. They literally had no idea what it entailed.
Isn't it a little crazy to bring a large number of guys who have no drive to be SF and are joining because it is the only option available?
On a good note the boys at Bragg handling the prior service program really do take care of their own. Nothing but top notch treatment and making me feel at home again. Good to be part of the family again!

Hello all,
Are you able to pick your ship date? How long is the wait between oath/MEPS and the actual ship date?
I got my DD 368 to go AD 18X from NG but I'd like to finish this semester (almost got my Bachelor's). My recruiter is telling me that I need to ship before my DD 368 expires (?) and is trying to "quick ship" me.
But he also told me that I can delay my ship date, if I can get a letter from my school stating that I'm enrolled in their courses.
I apologize in advance if this thread is out of place.
Any help would be appreciated...
Thank you.

Hello all,
Are you able to pick your ship date? How long is the wait between oath/MEPS and the actual ship date?
Thank you.
Originally I was told I'd ship in November 2014. Due to a MEPS processing issue I went to MEPS a week later than originally planned. At MEPS the Army office liaison person felt that it was necessary to call SF Recruiting because he had a question about my eye prescription. The SF Recruiter allowed my eye prescription (the Army office guy didn't know the reg) and gave me the option of leaving in November or March. I chose to leave in March so that I could spend all of the holidays with my family one last time.
I was at MEPS in September so it would have been a two month wait if I had left in November.

That being said, I'm National Guard and going to 68W AIT prior to SOPC/SFAS as opposed to the standard 11B OSUT. So I'll be headed to SOPC sometime in May 2017.

For those that may be in my similar situation, I'm 30 years old and I was able to keep my E5 rank and get an age waiver for 18X. It's 100% possible, just talk to your recruiter.

Many local newspapers announce the dates people go to and complete basic training and have for at least 35 years, I've never heard of it being an OPSEC violation, doesn't mean it's not, just never heard of it.
On a separate point, being passive aggressive could be problematic in the Q course.

OPSEC is operational security....a basic training ship date is not operational....talking about operational stuff is OPSEC violations....but whatever

Thank you to all of those who posted on this Forum tips and advice. Finished SFAS 03-18 and was Selected as an 18E Student, eyes open and mouth shut unless necessary. Once again thank you all for sharing experiences and recommendations.

Leaving 03Jul18.
18X, shipped 20180515, broke my hip in June went to a rehab unit for IET soldiers until August 31. Graduate Infantry OSUT December 7th and report to Airborne school January 2nd. Special Forces Liason estimates my SFAS to start end of March/beginning of April.
Breaking my hip is probably the best thing that happened to me. Quadrupled my PT score somehow with minimal PT (“No running” profile until I finally got recycled.) Hip still hurts sometimes but they pretty much told me thats just something I have to deal with from now on. Hasn’t slowed me down yet.

I had a question regarding report date vs start date on all of these courses. Looking in ATRRS you can see the "report date" and then the "Start date" sometimes there are classes that may overlap by a day or two if you count the "end date" and the "report date".
I just wanted to know if it was possible to take classes back to back, for example. I'm trying to understand how this will look when you account for OSUT, Airborne, SFPC, SFAS, and how stretched out the timeline might get if classes don't overlap at all.
Report Date Start Date End Date
