Too add onto all of this, they've canceled the Vance spots for quite a few classes. Not sure how long that will last. Basically (aka, speculation), API and Primary are running on fumes until the academy graduates and repopulates A-pool with 5 month long wait times. I found that out first hand. Was a shoe in for Vance, and then got told just a few days ago that I'm now slated for Corpus. Same thing happened to a few others in the classes behind mine.
And yes, NSS is next to non-existent at the moment. My class is picking up a handful that atrited due to low NSS at the end of this week. The even had to get reissued the flight gear they returned. For SNAs and NFOs, 80 gets you through. Marines still have the NSS though. I think they need an 85 average or something.
