DAR to get out of undesignated

by kim

Jul 21, 2014

My son put in a DAR to get out of his PACT undesignated contract... He apparently listed 10 jobs. Can anybody give me any info if there is much possibility that this will happen. He is scheduled to leave for BC in 2 months. Thanks for any help or insight as I feel so confused.

    Just pray!  If your sailor goes undes and the command has an issue with your sailor, they can keep your sailor there for 4 years.  Doesn't matter if they have a college degree, were formerly spc ops, had an almost perfect SAT score, NOPE.... you are stuck.  it's a terrible system.

      My son is actually in the same exact boat. I'm still waiting to see what happens. His ship date is 14 Dec.  and trying to go MAA. Frustrating..so what was the outcome?

        My daughter graduates boot camp on 9/19, she to is on the s pact program...she went undesignated because she missed the rate she wanted by a few points...She also has a DAR in for QM, the rate is totally overmanned ...she is very positive going in...her recruiters were very honest with her about what possible duties she may have.....she understands she may be subject to hard work until she gets picked up.She is an E3 she has a couple choices she can test for boatsinmate 6-8 months or she can continue to strike for her a rate... But if her DAR comes available she will be expected to accept that job....
