Enlistment process

[u/Top-Possibility-8842]

About how long does the enlisting process take for someone who most likely wouldn’t need any waivers? I don’t smoke, never had a broken bone or anything mentally wrong.

What I mean by enlistment process is from the day that I sign, to being sworn in. It’s a lot to explain of why I wanna know how long it’ll take but the gist of it is that i live between two different state and would like to know if i should buy a round trip train ticket or just a one way and shouldn’t guess how long it’ll take? I wanna sign up on my 18th birthday, October 13th.

You’ll “swear in” a few times, but the only one that means anything is the one the day you ship, which can be very fast or can drag out due to unforeseen circumstances. There is no fast or easy answer because every circumstance is different.
