OCS date delayed day before I was supposed to ship

Title pretty much sums it up. I was called 6/26 and was told my security clearance investigation never even started and that I wouldn’t be able to go until more work had been done. I was supposed to check in 6/28 and now my new ship date isn’t confirmed and won’t be for a couple weeks. What can I expect? My T3 has just been scheduled and my T5 hasn’t been scheduled. Going for Crypto Warfare Officer.

What exactly is your question? Did you specifically ask your recruiter first?

Sorry for the ambiguity. I don’t know what I should expect in the upcoming weeks. Just a whole lot of waiting? Yes I asked and talked to my recruiter but he doesn’t really work in shipping out so he didn’t have much info.

Yes there will be waiting, it unfortunately sounds like someone just missed something, it does happen.

Thank you. I’ll keep my expectations low. I was told I was moved up on the priority list for the clearances to start, but I doubt I’ll make the next class date, or even the following one.

What does that mean? Officer recruiters usually work with applicants start to finish, until they ship to ODS or OCS.

It’s just what he told me. I was referred to a different chief to work on shipping. He wasn’t aware that I was delayed until I told him. So I am having to keep him in the loop based on the information I receive from the other chief (who is not my recruiter)

Ok, got it. Fair. Echoing @FormerRecruitingGuru, the security clearance process will start and really just wait until that goes through and you receive your final select letter. Your recruiter, or whoever you've been in contact with, should be able to answer the deets here for you.
