That's nice! Still waiting for my OCS date but my CO let me know that the command sent a letter requesting that I am not taken at least until February. Kinda sucks but hey I guess I can continue working out and spending time with the family while on shore duty.

No letter yet for me. Recruiter said it was written up and just waiting for a signature. I reeally want to know my OCS date. I think ill hear this week though because two weeks ago the recruiter said that he spoke to the program manager for SNA and that my letter would be there in about 2 weeks

Chief, do you have any information on the time frame for IW's to start filtering into OCS from the April board? Are we talking about FY13 at the earliest? I was thinking of dropping some leave to visit family and wanted to see what a good "safe" time frame would be for leave.

As an active duty person you "should" be first on the list, but they only needed a few more for FY12, the problem is FY13 currently has a goal of 0, yes that is right zero, so who knows, so take some leave, look at ways to better your self for OCS and just know it will happen when it happens.

That is BS, the date is on the letter, they can't do anything without it! I am thinking your OR doesn't know what he is doing.
Well that isn't incredibly reassuring.
He seems to have done a great job with everything so far. It doesn't make sense if the date is on the letter though. Hopefully I'll know more today or by Thursday.
Hey Ben, this may be a blindingly obvious question based on the information under your Avatar, but did you get picked up for all three designators and you just got to choose the one you went with?
Yes, I was pro-recced for all three. My OR knows that the SNA was my first choice and that's what I'll be taking this coming Thursday.
Awesome, that's inspiring (and congratulations!). I'll be starting my Pilot/NFO/SWO package in September to catch the January boards. I'd be happy with any of them, but if I could choose, I'd like to be in the sky.
Thanks and good luck to you. Study hard for the ASTB as a competitive score is one of your biggest weapons. Be prepared to keep applying too. Many folks on here (myself included) weren't picked up our first few times.

Hopefully I get a call today. Would make this day even better.
On another note, I turned 26 today. Feels old. But on the bright side I checked bupers online and I now have a full 8 years of tis toward retirement.
Jesus time flies by, I remember being an 18 kid getting screamed at in boot camp like it was yesterday.
