I'm still waiting on going to MEPS, updating my SF86, and doing my PRT 
. This is no fault of mine though as I'm ready to do all three! It's beginning to look more and more like a 2010 class date.

I am having a hell of a time getting my MEPS file transferred to the MEPS area where I am processing out of.
I am ready to go too and I feel for you...

SF86 is killing me. MEPS and PRT are done. SF86 has been complete for months, but for some reason won't let my processor submit it. It seems to think it is invalid that I was born in Germany. Every time a new error pops up I think my OR is getting closer to punching through the computer screen.

Yep....thats what I feel like may happen. There are still peeps from May, June, and July boards who havent been FS yet either and they are currently classing up for the Nov. 8th and beyond.
I think we'll be in the January classes just in time for the heart of Winter!
My dad went to OCS in November (I think either '67 or '68) - he was disappointed when I told him I wouldn't get to start that early, but is still hoping I get sent there early enough to enjoy a Newport winter. He still loves to talk about freezing his ears off while waiting in line outside chow hall.

I'd take a New England winter over summer in any place. I sweat like a pig in heat and will take freezing my nuts off over feeling like a warm washcloth on a radiator any day.
Still have MEPS and the PRT...
Is anyone here processing through a LA office and gone through MEPS? The hold up, evidently, is that MEPS LA hasn't released my record to MEPS Baltimore and MEPS LA is physically moving locations. Anyone know if this is still going on?
I have a TS with SCI so that's not an issue...
I'm getting really nervous about my age and this shit is really cutting it close.
Bro, you and I both.... I am fixing the damn SF-86 (Last Puzzle). MAKE SURE YOUR SF-86 is the correct one with your OR..... Do not waste any time! Did you fill it prior to July this year?

I can't remember; I think it was during July. Isn't there some new shit about including a passport number if you have one?
I hear you about getting concerned about this age thing. At least your med isn't in some blackhole between here and eternity...
You talk to your OR about your age affecting your final select for SNA?
Make sure your SF-86 is the correct one. And the OR did not know much about the age thing.... It would be idiotic for them to Pro-Rec me and then not FS me due to age... Who knows...!? All I know is that I am not sure if I can make it....., but hey at least I tried.....!
FINAL SELECT!! + SF86 hell story
So, after months and months and months, I finally got my final select and OCS date. But let me tell you a little about the hell that is the SF86.
I applied for BDCP back in March 2009, and received my pro-rec June 24, 2009. I was incredibly excited and knew that I would be on my way to becoming an officer and getting into the BDCP program. Little did I know that the SF86 was going to make my waiting absolutely terrible.
So after I get my pro-rec, my PRT and MEPS was already complete. My SF86 had already been done as well, so I thought that all I had to do was wait for my final select. After waiting 2 weeks, I checked in and was informed that my SF86 had some errors because they changed some questions that needed to be re-checked and put in. After I finished and the form said that it was clear, I emailed me recruiter and let him know. A day later, he told me that it went through the first check but failed at the "2nd stage" checks. After trying to fix it 3 more times, I FINALLY got the SF86 submitted.
2 weeks later, I was told to come into the office and sign some release forms for an FBI agent to be assigned to my case. I was told to sign my name as legibly as possible, and to be completely within the box. I did this, as meticulously as humanly possible. After I faxed them in, I was told to wait 3 days so we could check on the status. 3 days later, one of my 3 pages didn't go through, so I had to re-sign and resubmit and re-fax all of them again.
Again, I had to wait 3 days. This time, it said that they were accepted! (yey!) so now all I have to do is wait for my final select letter to be signed right? Wrong. THREE WEEKS later, I call to check in and make sure everything is ok my recruiter says that my SF86 signature pages were NOT accepted, and 1 of the pages never got received (even though the system said that it was) and they couldn't assign an agent for my background check. So I had to re-fax the pages AGAIN and wait three more days to see if the first computer check registered them. Well, 3 days later (and by the way, it's never 3 days. If I sign it on thursday, we can't check until tuesday of the next week) it says that the pages were rejected, and this time I had faxed them in from the recruiting office.
So by this point I am more than frustrated. I was told we had to purge my security clearance, and re-do EVERYTHING including the NASIS. I had to wait two weeks for my file to be purged, and then re-do everything. After I redid everything, I had to wait another 3 days to see if the computer accepted the faxed sheets. Three days later, the computer said they got accepted. I had to wait another three weeks to see if they could assign an agent to my security check. This time, FINALLY, they received the pages and my account was assigned an agent.
NOW, it was time to wait for my final select. I was told it would be 3-4 weeks, but low and behold 4 days later I was told my letter was written and being routed to the regional office to be signed. I then got my OCS date, which is May 30, 2010 (WOOT!!!) and just waited for about two weeks to go and swear in.
Moral of the story? I would have been sworn in almost two months earlier if we didn't have to worry about the stupid SF86. It is hell, and don't even think that it will be as easy as 1-2-3 to get that sucker accepted.

Congrats. I wish I was sitting where you are. I have another medical form to fill out for the LASIK eye surgery I received over a year ago.

Frealis, did you get PR-ed for the LASIK in Aviation study?
I was PR-ed for SNA/SNFO and disclosed that I had LASIK upfront and asked if I was qualified to apply for the study. I was told yes, and so far, no complications.
What paperwork are you processing/compiling? I provided my pre-op, op, and post-op at the very start of the process, and-to my knowledge-it was uploaded with my packet that went before the boards.
Thanks in advance.

Glad to hear your wait is over. I was pro-rec'd in May boards and my SF86/NASIS story is extremely similar. Although, I am not as fortunate as you and am still waiting on the word for FS.
Between the number of times I have been told that they 'lost' my fingerprints and are asking if I am still living at an address that I have personally never heard of and my poor OR saying "Well it says they rejected it, but it doesn't tell me what we need to do to fix it" ... I have serious concerns about who has their hands on my personal information.
I hear and can personally relate to your frustration. I'm coming up on my 2 year anniversary of submitting my application ... eh
