I sent a letter requesting separation from the USMC DEP by certified mail with receipt confirmation today to the CO of Indiana recruiting. I was completely respectful and sincere in the letter, so I'm hoping this will get it done in a hurry, because my scheduled ship date is 20041115.
My POC with the ARMY recruiter has told me that said recruiter can take me in after my DEP release on the day after my scheduled ship date.
Just for the record, I'm planning on a 91W Option 40 and I'm not signing till I get it.

I'm done with school on Nov. 12 and will FINALLY have my diploma!
Thanks for all the help so far, Rangers!
