I thought Id put this out there. If you are in contact with a recruiter or a OSM, how long should you wait between calls/emails? Most of the time your not top priority and they have alot to do, but on the flip side, for the person looking to transfer/ join it can be very stressful waiting for a response. So How long should you wait to call back? I had trouble when I was commissioning.

Checking in after a duty week would not be pushy. Once you make that first contact establish follow-up timelines from that point on for you and the recruiter. That too is acceptable. Good luck.

I only put this out because I was very impatient and nervous when I commissioned. I had wanted to call and email every day and it was torture when I got no response. For future officers and enlisted , I thought I would post this and see what all the recruiters and OSM personnel had to say.

I'm in this boat right now. I am re-enlisting after a year break. Submitted all of my documents/paperwork a week ago today and have had no communication from my recruiter. I've tried calling, emailing, and texting. If I can get time away from work, I'll go to the office to see if he's there. I need a response from him regarding when to plan to be off for my MEPS physical.
