A friend of our family is seeking to commission as a SWO. His wife is currently deployed and he reached out for some advice. The recruiting office he's been going to has exhibited some very alarming traits such as "lost paperwork, interrupting his OAR/ASTB exam, ghosting on communication" etc. He's already been forced to miss a SWO Board this year because of the office not conveying deadlines/missing requirements etc to him. I would hesitate to tell him to file an ICE comment because it is the only officer recruiter near him. The issues span from the enlisted up to the O3 he's working with. Any advice that I may be able to provide would be great.

My advice is always the same... if they want it bad enough, take it higher. Find a way to make it work. If that is going to the Regional Commander, then so be it. If the people that are supposed to do the right thing and aren't. keep pushing to find one that will.

Either have the person speak with that station commander or take it up to their next higher up.

Okay he’s going to call the regional office and see if there is another recruiter he can be transferred to within his area. Then hope for the best
