What are the chances that HRC releases me now for USAREC, given that I have been at station for just 7 months?

Good day fellow Veterans! I submitted a packet for recruiting and was accepted by USAREC. I have been at station for 7 months, I have a buddy going through the same progress and he got a class for July, the way it's going, if I get a class date it will not be until after my 1 year mark. What are the chances that HRC releases me now? What would be a good way to get released by them??

They wont send you recruiting school just to not move you for a whole nother year. At this point your proponent has released you to go, therefor hrc. The only way youre not pscing now is if you flunk out.

Your branch has to agree to release you. USAREC can accept you all day, but your branch has the final say. I'm unsure on time on station requirements at this moment and if that can be waived for recruiting, but I would not hold my breath. I am currently on recruiting and you should seriously consider everything before you jump into USAREC. There are many factors that most people do not realize until they get out here. I would find someone who is currently on recruiting or has been in recruiting within the last few years and have a long talk with them. Just my humble opinion though.

HRC can't move you till you have at least one year on station. They can, but it takes waivers up to CG HRC and you're just not that important. They can waive it down to a year if it's needed, but most of the time branches like to keep you on station two years. How long they'll keep you on station before releasing you is a complicated algorithm these days based on half a dozen factors such as strengths, KD time, TOS, etc, so just stick with 1-2 years.

There is no way to "get" released by them. When you are allowed to be released is outside your control.

Don't judge your class date off someone else's. When you're slotted it's as early as possible and usually between 90-180 days away if you're eligible right now.
