Hello guys I’m currently very desperate. I’m currently doing military service but I’d like to switch to civil service (Zivildienst). I’ve visited the information day last Thursday on the 16.7., and on the day after, I got accepted to civil service, meaning I’m officially in the civil service. However, after thinking I’m going to be able to finally leave military on Monday or Thursday, I’m still there, not knowing when I’d finally be able to leave. It seems that my School commander (Schulkommandant) does not know that I’m officially in the civil service yet, even though the civil service office has sent him an email last Friday informing him about this switch from military to civil service. Now I want to know if there’s any way to make this whole process faster so that I can finally leave military sooner. I’ve already talked to my Lt but he cant really help me. What are my options here? Do I contact my school commander directly if that’s even possible (if yes then how)? Should I write the civil service office that they should contact him again? Are there any other options? Thank you for your help submitted by /u/Same-Ad6547
