I know the november board got their results like a month after the board date. I think the august folks got it pretty quickly, but I'd have to go check.

What do you do while you’re waiting to class up ? Like what kinda of duty, job, and responsibilities?

When do you recommend making first contact with your officer recruiter?

well once you check in to NASC after OCS, you'll have a lot of shit going on, NAMI (should be a lot quicker than OCS), indoc, history and ethics class, anthros, flight suit fitting, PRT....all that jazz will be your first 2-3 weeks typically. after NAMI clears you, they will schedule you for Water Survival, however, if you don't feel confident swimming you can request to go to remedial swim, just to make sure you pass. after that, you wait the next 6-9 months to class up as an SNA (NFOs class up faster). during all this time you stand watch once or twice a week, and once or twice every five weeks on your duty weekend. You can try to get a stash job, which is doing a specific job (chaplain assistant, flight management, Navy and Marine Corps Relief Society, Life Guard at the pool, among others) which will provide you a more consistent schedule, a couple hours a couple days a week, and you don't stand watch if you do this. However, depending on the job you might end up working more hours that if you had regular duty, but you will for sure not work weekends. Once your first month is up, and you're done with swim, you'll have a good amount of free time, which they stress should be used for studying the NIFE pubs and staying in shape, which I agree with. Also, every day you fill out a form to let the school house know that you're accounted for. You muster with your duty section once a week in person. Also, there are all hands events all the time too, where the entire school house gets together, such a safety stand down (don't use a deep fryer to cook a turkey in THanksgiving kinda thing), or other things.

Like contacting my officer recruiter to get the process started to apply for OCS. I intended to apply for NFO through BDCP, but won’t be eligible until next year when I finish my sophomore year of college.

If OCS I preferred to start working with those that were ending their junior year as it allowed the summer to get everything done (MEPS and ASTB). If you are looking at BDCP then near the end of your Sophomore year to see what that OR likes to do as far as schedule, BDCP historically was competitive and so if you want to go that route it is important to have a top notch GPA and ASTB.
