OCS 02Nov20 SNA/SNFO (Pilot/NFO) Board

My connect in the OCS applicant chain just texted me the following:

"I cannot even venture to guess at this point. They just finished signing the Final Select letters for those who are leaving on the 20th for the January 3rd Class."

I removed any and all profanity haha they are not the happiest with NRC as this person is in charge of a large group of applicants and their ORs. haha

So it's an NRD commander?

What was the context for them to say that today? Like did you ask for an update?

So the FINSELs are moving faster than the PRORECs?

I didn't say that.

I just ask every two weeks if it's been radio silence. He gets mildly agitated when talking about it on the phone haha so I text instead.

That would make sense to me with people leaving in January. It's a requirement that they have the final selection letters two weeks before their OCS dates. Sounds like the entire process is behind...

Maybe FinSel letter requests bogging down the process lol.

I phrased it as a question for clarification on who the individual might be in relation to the process.

Gotcha, thanks.

Well that's no good. Looks like we may set a new record for wait times. At least some have an "unofficial" notification. Us active guys are just hanging out and waiting for any potential notification if a selection...

You are right about that.

They aren't giving the active guys an OCS date at the same time as everyone else who was scheduled on November 5th?

Active guys have to get a date from their CO after they’re selected.

Oh so the CO directs the OCS date process? Or is it routed through the CO?

NRC will send the CO the selection notification and ask what day they are willing to lose the Sailor. NRC may also give available class dates and let the Skipper choose if he/she doesn't mind accepting a gapped billet. My Skipper is a prior flight surgeon so he's got a special place in his heart for aviation. I'm hoping that will help me get to OCS sooner when results come out.

Have you ever had a chance to dive the Oriskany? It's on my bucket list of dives. Hope to have the opportunity sooner than later (during flight school maybe?).

No cash, no splash.

J/K That would be incredible. If we make it there I'll be your dive buddy. Won't have long down there on SCUBA though, the flight deck is almost 150' down. My bucket list is to do SAT, still working on it but the oil industry isn't doing so well in the US. If the Navy says yes that'll all change though. We should find out before December 20th right? Right?...

I haven't been following this site for a while, just a lot of waiting. Didn't realize this post was getting so much discussion. Will follow as closely as I can, but I really don't want to worry about it.
