After the board, approx how long was it before you heard back on whether you were selected for AMEDD?

I do have the expectation that the whole process can take about 6+ months, from the moment the packet is sent off, to the moment you start drilling. However, my question for those who already went through the process is: Once the board met, approx how long was it before you heard back on whether you were selected?

noting happens overnight , you got to be patient, packets tend to take months to process sometimes however depending who is handling it , you may see it back with in a few days.

It was 15 months start to finish for me. I think it was about 5 months after the board until I was sworn in.

Very slow process usually. I applied at the height of the two war push so it was a little faster because less people were applying. Everyone knew you would instantly be deployed. I knew and had no problem with that expectation. It’s the military. So with the current operational tempo perhaps it will be a little faster ie 9-12 months.

Application in August, board in october, scroll in december, commission in January. Follow up respectfully and courteously and turn in your paperwork on time. I was first board of FY so it went quick.

I have applied for AMEDD through National Guard here and have already hit the 2 years mark! It has been a very long process and it is still going on.

AR tends to take longer than NG (state dependent). Our AMEDD recruiter typically tells people 9 months once the DCA packet is complete.
