DEP Discharge

[izzlenizzle]

About a year ago I enlisted into the ANG with the prospect of eventually becoming a flying officer. To make a long story short, it took over 8 months to schedule me for BMT (I planned to leave before a 3 month span, as my recruiter almost assured to me) In addition, I had a BMT date scheduled but no tech school date (apparently they were all booked up for my chosen field) I felt like waiting was only delaying my goals so I decided to pursue a discharge from the delayed entry program.

My questions are the following:

Can I still become a flying officer?

Did I make it even more difficult to obtain a UPT slot?

How will a hiring board view this discharge?

Would I have a better chance with the Air Force Reserves?

I welcome any advice and/or suggestions.

This happens all the time in the guard. The correct course of action would have been to make some noise and have this issue sent up the chain until you had your ticket to KSAT in hand.
