Flight School backed up

What type of job could it be?

The jobs are mostly admin work, watchstading or just odd jobs.

Nothing hard or that taxing. Any Ensign with enough give a shit can handle it

If my current command is making me defer my parental leave because I’m on deployment, will i be able to take it when I get to Pcola. Going from deployment straight to OCS. Have 54 days of PCL

Update: The academy are pouring in so the pipeline is getting backed up for SNA's now. I know if you commissioned through OCS you'd start somewhere in Oct now

Typical annual cycle, every year of all time. Also NROTC grads arrive around then too. I was an off-season 5th year ROTC dude, so I showed up in like March or April. Classed up immediately, finished API and Primary before the next January. My friends who commissioned in June were still in A-pool or API when I finished primary. Just a cyclical thing.

The answer is “probably”, but I would communicate to OTC Newport or NASC (Pensacola) staff whenever possible so they can support or adjust orders/etc. so you can use remaining SCL.

Damn thats awesome how much shorter it is nowadays. How long is the wait between NIFE and Primary?

Currently at TW4, about a 4-6 month wait to class up as of now

Another option, could you possibly delay your OCS class so you can detach from deployment, then use remaining SCL, then start OCS?

Can’t detach from deployment for SCL leave, at least not at my command, that’s my whole predicament rn. I’m sitting in a position to be home from deployment for a month and a half before OCS and for 20+ of those days I’m still attached to my command. Rather than “muster and go home” for those 20 days I wanted to use some of my leave because I already moved my spouse and child out of the area.
I’ll get a letter though that a deferred leave for deployment and reach out to NAS Pensacola to try to use it before classing up since there’s typically a waiting period anyways.

I would make sure you can use all your SCL before it expires. I believe you have to use it over a certain period of time.
