[DONOSAURU5REX]

Looking forward to Rhode Island! See you all there!

Did you get a finsel for this class?

Dino will lead the class. Born leader.

I'm going to call ahead and tell the DI's that you said you were bringing extra crayons so you can share with them. Dino's not a bad callsign though.

Not yet. So far my recruiter has said Jan 15, but nothing more has come through. Looks like Safashton has received one today, so hopefully going out soon.

I'm in the same boat. Jan 15 but just waiting for it to be official. Any chance your recruiter has any idea of when it actually will be official?

Still waiting for a Finsel but hoping to be in this class with you guys

She keeps saying November but November is slipping away. I’ve had a lot of snafus during my whole application and selection process, so understandably a bit on edge. But guys from the November class were getting them mid October. So only thing we can do is wait!

Yeah I hear ya - I was told potentially August, then October, then November, then finally they pushed it back and actually told me Jan 15 but noted it's still technically unofficial. Hopefully we're both right and will be there in Jan!!

I got an email from my recruiter saying that he verified the January OCS ship date and that it is January 21st, did anyone else get a message like that?

The OCS class Dates have been sent out to recruiters a long long time ago. They come directly from the OCS folks. Heck, we just received the OCS class schedule for FY19.

So are you saying that the dates were sent out so long ago that they may have changed the closer the date gets?

I think he meant the classes were established a long time ago so he is fairly confident that is the date.

Follow up: my recruiter said that some fellows misprinted the date, it is definitely the 15th. It's a good thing to double check! I can only imagine the face I would have gotten if I had showed up on the 21st for OCS...
