Final Select Purgatory

I'm curious about that too. I'm now checking in after getting selected for SWO, but I haven't gotten my degree yet either, so it will be interesting to see what happens with us.

My OR told me that I wouldn't receive a date or FS letter until I have my diploma

The key is to not expect anything.
But from what I've seen on here and the current trends, it appears the wait for SWO can be brutally long (6-8 months), the wait for NFO slightly shorter (2-6ish months), and we have pilots getting FS letters that were pro rec'd two weeks ago.

To rehash the SWO dilemma for those who just got pro-rec'd:

Originally, Big Navy thought they were going to have x number of slots they would need to fill with SWO candidates from OCS. That number got chopped somewhere in the middle of the last fiscal year while they were still accepting people under the original number. A bunch of us got pro-rec'd but they ran out of room for us this year. Now we're all getting shuffled into the next fiscal year's numbers. (Same thing is happening to NFOs apparently.) We're not expecting to ship out until July at the earliest.

I would say, definitely don't expect earlier than August/September. Other than that, @jmeff is probably closest to guessing when you'll ship.

Checking into purgatory. Pro-req Y for SWO. Hopefully I can get a school date no later than the end of August. My brigade shuts down first part of Septemeber.

Can confirm. I just got my processor to call the PM and that is exactly what she explained to me. I was told no earlier than July for NFOs (and I was selected back in October; given a 'slated' date of 03 May). Enjoy the extended stay ladies and gents!

When was the last time you talked with NRD? I haven't talked to him in a bit. The new guy was, well, new, when he replaced Chief Cook, and just basically told me "don't call me, I'll call you". I got the impression he was a little overwhelmed at the time.
I have Chief Anchetta. He informed me that I was his first applicant as an officer. I could tell for sure. Last I heard was when he told me I made final selection on Feb. 11 .
