What is the quickest anyone has ever " quick shipped" to BCT (from 1st MEPS visit to shipping to BCT)?

I am trying to take the first slot available to BCT, i know its all dependent on availability, but i'm wondering about how quick it could be ( next day or longer)

Ducks have to be in a row:

Your MOS available, your med physical and ASVAB all in one day and drug test you can ship next day but the fastest I’ve seen is two days-to 1 week.
Your recruiter can process you as a same day ship where you have everything done in one day barring anything crazy. But it’s nice to break it apart for a couple days

I shipped in 7 days.
It may not just be bases on the first available BCT slot, but availability of a slot for AIT. I'm certain one of the Recruiters can provide an experienced based answer.

Same day. In processing at 7 a.m., and on a plane to MCRD San Diego, at 7 p.m.

Needs of the Army, bro. Ask what's first available and then jump.

I shipped in less than a week but again there’s a lot dependent on it, from your recruiter to your physical to available slots for your chosen MOS. Good luck man

I had several direct shippers. If they wanted to try out for Marines, they were willing to go anytime. Same day service - travel & adventure. Straight to PI.

It's very unlikely that the COARNG career counselor at MEPS would set you up to same-day ship. They are more than likely going to want you to go to RSP at least once, their process is based around the average first-time enlistee, not prior service candidates.
