Pushing Back My Shipdate...

[rkidd4]

I dont know if anyone remembers but a made a thread a couple of weeks ago about how a sprained my ankle really bad. Well it was feeling better and I got the green light from the doc to start running again. I was running yesterday and low and behold it went out on me again and it is useless again...went to the doc and ******* him out and he said I need to stay off of it for another two weeks with no running for 5-6 weeks. Well my shipdate falls during the fifth week so I wont be able to train and run until Boot. I was wondering what the process is to get my shipdate pushed back like 3 weeks or so...Do I have to go through MEPs again and swear in again and sign a new initial DEP contract? Any poolees and Marines that have had to do this please explain the process...I am stressed!

Well for me it was just a matter of asking the NCOIC to change the date. I don't know if that is the case for everyone and if it isn't then it is still a good first step. That sucks by the way your doctor should have told you that you still shouldn't run.

Yea if you ask the NCOIC to change your date he can put you into the computer and you should be good. That is as long as there are openings. I have a friend that just left a month early because someone else got messed up and couldn't leave so he got to go in his place. So go talk to your NCOIC ASAP.

Yeah it does suck Im bummed...I just hope there is a spot for Aircrew before October...So they just change it in the computer and I wont have to sit at MEPs all day again just to sign my new ship date?
