August 2011 Board

I believe the 28 primary alternates are for FY13, not for FY12. They will not count towards that number of 75. They probably expect some of those 85 pro-recs not to make it through for medical or other reasons.
I looked back and you are right (I think). It could be interpreted differently though. Once again, this is just one of those things that is out of anyone's control. Worrying about it is not going to help. Just put together your best stuff and hopefully there is a board in January for SNA/NFO. If there is not, there will probably be on in April. Then they will push it back to August.
De ja vu?

Primary alternates were for FY12, alternates were for FY13. This might mean that all the alternates will be pushed to FY13, and maybe even a few selects. When can we expect to see people getting FS dates?
I thought those numbers were whatever is still left to be filled (though the FY12 bit is confusing, do they really need 75 more pilots after all the selects in August...). Why would he list slots that have already been taken by pro-recs? That does not make any sense to me, especially since it is a recruiting site and the targeted audience are people who have not already been through the process and selected yet.
Applicant: Hey, I want to apply for one of those 75 pilot slots you mentioned being open.
Recruiter: Oops, sorry, those were already taken before I even mentioned them.
Maybe he means for boards being held this fiscal year and not OCS ship dates (the August boards were held in FY11)? I do not think there is any reason to freak out as it is probably just being misinterpreted.

FY 12 Numbers
Program
Surface (Ocean Option): 1
Pilot: 75
Public Affairs Officer: 2
Oceanography: 2
Information Warfare: 2
Supply: 57
EDO (SEGA): 4
Cyber Warfare: 3
Also from the site he says: " Supply has a goal of 94 and has 44 pro rec'd yes." Which is 50 more needed and he lists 57. This seems reasonable, so here's to hoping you're right.
I don't know how the heck this happened, but I received via email tonight my Final Select letter with an OCS date of 12Feb2012.
Still amazed at how I went from being a secondary alternate--supposedly an alternate to FY13--to having an OCS date only 3+ months away. Regardless, I'm stoked. Hoping many more of you get FS letters soon!

I'm in the exact same position, secondary alternate and all. I received an e-mail saying I was Final Select with a class date of 4Mar2012. The kicker is my recruiter said the Final Select was listed as "Pilot NFO Final Select" like they're not sure what designator I'm actually going to end up with. Can anyone shed any light on this situation? I only applied for Pilot.
Anyway, I'm pretty stoked to be given the opportunity to go to OCS after a LONG process!

aodell and SDPilot do you know when all your stuff was officially uploaded, I am secondary also and I tried to get everything in quickly, My stuff was uploaded to CNRC on Oct 17. Since you guys got dates it would help everyone know where they stand. As people drop they pull people off the alternate list by who completed their stuff first, not sure if this matters between primary and secondary, my guess is for filling the initial quota it doesn't.
My OR told me unofficially I'm scheduled for NOV 27 but still no FS letter.

I went to MEPS the 1st week of October; I already have everything else ready to go so just needed the Physical Qualification. My recruiter didn't say the exact date when everything got uploaded, but I expect it was on par with Oct. 17 given the speed of MEPS. I received an e-mail last night and official confirmation this morning, but still waiting for a Final Select letter. I still don't know what designator I was selected for, despite only applying PILOT, as the e-mail read "PILOT NFO Final Select".
