I took a screen shot of what I was looking at, when I get home ill see if i can post,, and then perhaps exoffrecruiter could provide some more insight. However what I was looking at seemed to be a much larger number for applicants necessary, and consequently the number of Pro-Rec y's. The more I think about it the more I think our boards results are already in the approved totals, with the next two boards (Jan and APR) being the ones I mentioned with the 45ish per board

Man opening this thread after not looking at it for a handful of days is always a rollercoaster of emotion. Having read everything though, I'm going to heir on the side of patience and wait for official news to make its way down. I understand the curiosity and urge to find any clues as to when we may get an answer, but it might just be better to let the information make its way down to us. At least we can rest assured knowing that the decision has already been made 2 (business) weeks ago.
One thing I will say though, with all of these rumors, it sounds like we applied at a good time! Fingers crossed we also get some good luck with OCS dates that aren't too far away.

We're on all that rollercoaster, and not everyone is enjoying the ride haha. ?
+1 for the right time.
Good lord that's nearly the entire board. Do you know the total number of applicants, I'm assuming it was 230 like this one?
Man if that's the case (I like speculating) it reinforces the idea of pilot slots being gone, because they could select 122 pilots from the 26 Oct board, and January is screwed. They were already posting in the January board about OR's telling them SNA slots were gone and only a few NFO slots remained for January...

I like reading through all of this for the clues but dont stress too much over it. Im sure most of the people on this forum have studied hard and put in the work so I know most of us will make it hopefully!
If anyone is interested in increasing Push-ups for the two minute max, this is a good article from military.com. I've also seen people use resistance bands held in their hands wrapped around their backs to increase resistance for a cheap at-home increase to resistance for your push-up exercises. Don't forget proper form!
"Below is the program that has helped people go from 50 pushups to 80 pushups in two weeks.
On Odd Days
Do 200 pushups in as few sets as possible in addition to your regularly scheduled workout of cardio exercises. You can still do upper body workouts on these days if you are already on a program. This is a supplemental 200 pushups using maximum repetition sets (4 x 50, 8 x 25 ... it's your choice how you get to 200).
On Even Days
Do 200 pushups throughout the day. This can be little sets of ten done every half hour or fifty pushups done four times throughout the day.
Rule
If your maximum is under 50 pushups, do 200 a day. If your maximum is above 75, do 300 pushups a day.
Repeat the ODD/EVEN routine for a total of 10 days. Then take three days off and do NO upper body pushing exercises that work the chest, triceps, and shoulders. Then on day 14, give yourself the pushup test (one or two minutes depending on your PFT). I would not recommend this workout more than once every six months, since it rather challenging on the same muscle groups repeatedly.
There are three main types of pushups you can do to break up the monotony: "regular" pushups, "wide" pushups, and triceps pushups."

I feel for you man, I know I'd be doing the same thing. 100%
Can't say I want to be in your shoes, as much as I want time to fly by, the last thing I'd want to be doing during that time is finishing up my undergrad. Congrats though man, hope you get some good news on this board.
I graduated last May and worked for Census Bureau for a while before the supreme court shut it down. I've been living with my parents sitting on my savings and applying to part time jobs in the hopes I can pick something up at my local neighborhood park to help with the waiting game. Besides that though, it's been a lot of DCS world and plane model building. Can't complain. Except for this tropical storm slamming my house in South Florida right now.

Slogging through the workday is becoming increasingly difficult, it really interferes with my aviation audio books/podcasts lol.
I'm on day 26 of the 75 Hard challenge, that paired with finding out over the weekend that i'm going to be having a baby girl certainly helps pass the time!

Congratulations, at this pace you will be out of OCS right at birth if these OCS dates are accurate.
