For Army Reserves. So far the recruiter won't leave me alone. I told him that I wouldn't be able to do this as fast as he wants because I have a lot of projects due this month and final papers due next month. Apparently it didn't take.
I haven't made it as far as your son, but I've heard some stories from folks on Reddit complaining of the same thing (waiver status). I've only sent in my application and background check.
I still have to take the PiCAT and then go through MEPS, but the recruiter has made it sound like I'll head to BCT right after I graduate next spring, pending a tentative graduation date from the school.
I'm not sure about that anymore.
