I have posted on here several times about the difficulties I have had getting an OTS date after already receiving an active duty flight slot for the Air Force. It has been 13 months since I started my flight medical, and I believe it was finished three weeks ago. This is the fourth time I was told it was completed only to get a call weeks later saying they forgot this or that.

It has now gone to the Surgeon General, but has been there for three weeks. I was told it would only take one week until I heard back from them. I call my recruiter twice a week and have only reached him twice. He is a middle man who only asks others if it is done yet and they say no. I am nervous because he just hinted to me that the next OTS class is filling up and if I miss this one, it will be the fourth OTS class I missed. It has been very difficult finding a job because no one wants to hire someone who may be leaving in a few months. My current employer expected me to be in OTS now so my hours were cut from 35 to 2 hours a week!

I am asking for help from those who know how the system works. My recruiter has admitted that the AF dropped the ball on me multiple times, but he doesn’t seem to be fixing the problems. He only tells me that they will start an investigation on the matter soon and that my file is “top priority”. I would like to ask someone who knows about why it is taking so long and when I can realistically get answers, but I don’t know who to contact and I don’t want my recruiter to get offended if I go over his head. Does anyone know how I can contact the Surgeon General’s Office or who else I can ask besides my recruiter?
