Hello all,
After a cursory search, I couldn't find any info pertaining to my question so I figured I'd ask.
Background: Due to a chronic injury, I was placed on PCAT which put me out of current trade specs (crewman) but left me available to stay in the forces. Everything came back from D Med Pol and my CO annotated my 2088 with a recommendation for COT.
The trouble: Where does it/I go from here? The BPSO staff, on an earlier attempt, told me they couldn't help me out until I had some sort of official word that I was actually getting recommended for COT. Currently, people handling my file are unaware if this annotation from my CO suffices as enough evidence to be brought forth to the BPSO to get this process started or if they need some sort of paperwork or form from DMCA.
Further to that, I know OT's can take quite some time, as I had VOT'd into this trade. I was wondering if COT's are somehow expedited or if they are subject to Boards sitting down and the "meat market" involved in getting accepted into whatever new trade I qualify for and is open at the time of offering. The real question here is what kind of timeframes am I looking at? I just need to give my family a Warning Order so that we can start making adjustments and curb our plans.
Other then that, thanks for any and all help and I sincerely appreciate any advice you have to offer.
Cheers!
