Correct me if I am wrong, but October 1st is the beginning of a new fiscal year. Since recruiters have to meet some sort of quota, it seems as though they have been stalling for the past few months to get candidates to count towards the new fiscal year. Once October 1st rolls around won't there be a sudden flood of applicants?

maybe the extra green paper you sent them swayed them to your side?[8D]
man the wait is killing me

your recruiter has most likely already met his/her 02 quota, this way you begin the 03 quota. You should come up with a story that your family is only in town for this Sat. and force the swearing in this Sat. to be 02 [
] there is no way the recruiter would let it happen though, I'd be curious what excuse you would get though.
] there is no way the recruiter would let it happen though, I'd be curious what excuse you would get though.I didn't even know I was going to have to swear in. i know I had to go and fill out some paperwork but beyone that I had no idea. half way through one of the recruiters annonced that everyone had to go to the quarterdeck for an enlistment. I had no idea it was for me!! Next thing I know I have my hand up and I am repeating something about orders...and officers appointed above me...its all very vague!

All this talk of quotas. I know there are recruitment goals. But have you noticed they are not knocking down doors like enlisted recruiters. I would find it hard to believe they have a hard time meeting goal. I do know that they open quotas in late may/jun for Oct 1 classes(or the first OCS class in that month) for most communities. Pilot/NFO being the oddball I guess. I will ask around to some of the folks in my office that came from recruiting if all this makes a diff or is just smoke blowing.
Yeah, I just asked around and Officer recruiters go on a yearly quota cycle, unlike enlisted who go on a monthly. But like I said about them having not to knock down your door to get you in. My buddies said that the officer guys pretty much know that you WILL wait if they ask you. So they not worrying about losing you. So you are doin them a big favor, beings that what most likely got you accepted were your merits, not his so called "string pullin". Good Luck with all of it though. Look on the bright side, you have that much longer to physically prepare. Although, the mental anguish of having to wait will mess with you that much longer.
