APPLICATION PROCESS

The Joint Communications Unit application process consists of three phases and requires dedicated time and effort from an applicant. Since each service has unique PCS requirements, we have built in some flexible parameters. Use this as a guide to ensure all necessary information is submitted.

 

Ideally, interested candidates should submit their application 15-18 months out from their eligible rotation date, but we will accept them outside of this window and work with you and your particular situation. We encourage you to contact the recruiting team with any questions.

 
 

 

PHASE I

  1. Copies of the last five performance evaluations, or all available evaluations if fewer than five
  2. A copy of military record review, which includes:

    • Air Force - SURF; Fitness Record
    • Navy - Enlisted Summary Report (ESR) and PRIMS Data

  3. A copy of a Physical Fitness Test (PFT) taken within the past 30 days

Please ensure all documents are up-to-date and submitted with the application package.
