Wow If I get my pro rec y revoked that’d be pretty devastating … would much rather wait a year to go to OCS than not go at all

It seems to me that NRC is realizing that selecting people for spots that far out is not the best idea.

There are several of those programs that are already sitting good with the number of people they have been selecting (except SWO) and many of the programs are pretty tough on who they pick with average GPA's of 3.5 and looking for tech degrees.

Yes, they have revoked offers before, it was quite a while ago and they sent out "no quota" letters.

This situation wouldn't be this bad if they had cancelled or combined boards starting at the end of last year when they realized they had selected too many.

Was there any method they used to determine who gets their offers revoked first? Or was it mostly random?

Just got an update that OCS is backlogged by about 24 months and some recent graduates of ROTC and the academy are spending a year at recruiting commands, etc. before even starting flight school. This seems to be the case for pilots in other branches as well, but hopefully OCS class sizes expand soon.

Does that mean that OCS is at pre-covid class sizes but Pensacola is not?

I went to OCS exactly a year ago, and I had a full class, so unless that’s changed, it should still be that way. Over here at Pcola they have been increasing amount of pilots starting NIFE recently, but the bottleneck’s already there, so its gonna be a bit before it clears

The numbers I am going to use are rough estimates but still close. The NRC OCS shipping goal for a year is about 1200, there are about 16 classes per year and each class is about 100 per class, so normal capacity is about 1600 per year. There was also a short time where they had more than 100 per class so capacity at OCS is not an issue, like @villo0692 mentioned it is Pensacola and that only affect aviators.

1. Not OCS backlog. Its down in Pensacola.
2. its not 24 months. However, it is a long wait.
3. They are working on shorting that time.

Hi everyone, I wonder if anyone who got selected for this 23MAY2022 Pilot board has any updates of when you are going to OCS? My recruiter told me that those who got selected is for fiscal year 2024. I’m still waiting but have no information on the date. Is Anyone here being on the same page?

Just got a text message from my OR saying that the NRC is holding special boards (Intel, SWO, etc) for Pilot selectees who wish to redes at this time due to the Pilot back up problem.

My OR said this is NOT a way of him telling me to redes and is NOT mandatory. It is only for Pilot (FY24) selects who wish to go to OCS sooner.

However, he said that there are discussions being had about revoking offers if the pilot back up problem continues. Has this happened before?

What do you do if you want to go sooner? In case you are not selected to go sooner, will you still go later?

I'm supposedly going in January, but given recent events, I'm highly skeptical that's actually going to happen.
