Was told to not hold my breath on that one. Even the more senior officers struggle with that at times here with the skipper's schedule being by the second. Not that I won't try anyway.This is just me but if you were selected and expected to be an officer I’d try and speak with your XO and CO, with your DH present of course, as you will be an officer first. Try to use this as an opportunity to be one and speak with your CoC face to face.
As far as someone being pushed, outside of my expertise, but I’m sure @exNavyOffRec or @FormerRecruitingGuru can answer that one better than I can.
If you have any OCS or IP related questions let me know. I just finished OCS and currently waiting to class up for IPBC.
If I were to be selected I'd definitely be reaching out, thank you for answering all this thus far. But you did mention you didn't get your IPBC date until you were already in OCS correct? I know some of the IPBC dates are pretty spread out from the OCS grad dates. Are you on leave right now or what do they have you doing? And do you know your follow on shore tour location yet/do you have any say in the matter? Dual-mil so it wouldn't be just about my orders is the thing. I'm guessing the 4 big shore commands (NCTAMS PAC/LANT and NCTS Naples/Bahrain) are the most likely, but not sure if any get sent to Yokosuka or San Diego instead...
