https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-should-someone-do-when-a-recruiter-won-t-return-their-calls-or-messages <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>A month ago, my wife submitted her background to her Navy recruiter for consideration for Navy ODS, Health Care Administration. Her record is clean, has 15 years experience in health care, plus a master&#39;s degree. She is trying to get updates as I have seen ODS dates for FY 2020 have been posted. The recruiters voicemail is full, and he won&#39;t return emails. Does that mean she isn&#39;t being considered, or does she need to track down their supervisor to get some answers? Any advice would help. If the answer is no, or they don&#39;t have an answer, why can&#39;t they just say so?

I initially wanted to join the navy and completed most of the process until my recruiter stopped returning messages. I went to the station and found out I had been denied and they weren&#39;t going to tell me. Consider the Army as an alternative with as much upside as the Navy SSG Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 14 Nov 2019 18:03:26 -0500 2019-11-14T18:03:26-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-should-someone-do-when-a-recruiter-won-t-return-their-calls-or-messages?n=5236809&urlhash=5236809 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would go track down the recruiter and ask them to their face why they are not returning any calls or messages. Put them on the spot and make them be candid, rather than hiding behind a veil of ignoring calls and messages. LTC Kevin B.

If that fails elevate it. I had a similar issue, the recruiter had been relieved of his position and they had not followed up with his recruits.
