I’m currently in the Marine Corps DEP and switching to the Navy. My Marine recruiter told me he already completed and submitted my release paperwork to his higher-ups, so at this point we’re just waiting on them to process it.
I was told releases are handled on the first of each month, but August 1st passed and it’s now August 14th with no release yet. My Navy recruiter is waiting for the release before they can move forward with me.
I’ve already taken the ASVAB and gone through MEPS with the Marines.
For anyone who has switched branches while in DEP, how long did your release take after your recruiter submitted the paperwork? Even a rough timeline would help.
