So I know it's only been a week since I've gone to MEPS, but my recruiter ASSURED me that he would pick up my lab results on the 24th (yesterday) and that he would have my interview scheduled for this week (either Wed., Thurs., or Fri.). So yesterday being the 24th I decided I'd give him a little call. Of course he doesn't answer until the third time I call him. I'm not suprised. When he does finally answer, he gives me the "oh I'm so busy, I'm just now getting to the office" spiel. I can tell he's irritated that I'm calling, but listen- I'm irritated because I have to keep calling. If he would just keep his word and keep me informed as he suggested he would, then I wouldn't call him so much. But he is very lazy about it, and I can tell. It's extremely frustrating for me. You see, he has nothing to gain from getting me in the service. Recruiters are not "rewarded" for officer accessions. Plus, he's already in the service- he's already got his job squared away. In fact he's getting ready to go back to his primary AFSC (or job duty) and quit recruiting so that he can retire in 3 years. So as you see, he's been bitten by the bug, and I am being punished for it.
So he tells me he'll give me a call back, and he's working hard on my package, yadda yadda. Funny, you could've fooled me- I'm still waiting for that phone call, as promised.
GRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!
Edit: I should point out, my recruiter is a pretty cool guy it's just frustrating when you are the accession candidate and it feels like your recruiter isn't always doing what they say they are to help you get that package in on time. Trust me, when all is said and done, I won't be as bitter- but I am still waiting to have my interview, to sign that paperwork, and finally get that package in and in front of the BSC boards. Once I know it is their hands, I will feel a little better.
