    Thank you so much for all the information you provide. Really keeps me up to date.

    Basic question while I’m learning the entire process.

    If your recruiter have not submitted your package by now and was looking to use my Masters in Engineering as a Civ, I will now need to wait until 2021? I was targeting Reserves but looks like I should go AD instead of waiting an entire yr+.
    Curious what the soonest dates my package could go to the board & when would TFOT be?

    Thank you in advance.

      Hmm, details matter on this one. The Critical Ascession Degree boards are closed right now as far as I know, but sometimes those with engineering degrees can apply though that route and that is a rolling timeline. Also, it depends on what you mean when you say ‘wait until 2021.’ This is a long process with tons of steps. Even the reserve process can take that long. Have you already initiated conversations with a recruiter?
