You are correct, I am more or less speculating as a result of knowing about the varying commissioning sources. I do know with the last word from my NORS that I am not the only one experiencing delays with MEPS. There are a plenty of other candidates at my NORS waiting for MEPS physicals as well. But as far as a new law is concerned, I have not heard of that. I would be interested as well if it does apply to OCS candidates.

Action is the foundational key to all success.
I have not heard about that either but I did MEPS 2 months ago. From my understanding of what my OR told me is the July 15th date is tentative and the board could convene on that day or another day throughout that week. Hopefully it's sooner rather than later because I'm going crazy waiting!

My OR required me to complete MEPS prior to submitting my package; however, other applicants on AW submitted their package without having completed MEPS. I guess it depends on your OR's preferences but it should not affect the submission of your package to the board. As for the form your OR had you fill out, I would suggest asking those that submitted their package without MEPS to see if they also were required to fill out some kind of form instead.
My app was submitted the same day I went to meps even though I hadn't been PQ'd at the time.

Whether or not you go to MEPS before submission of your package is up to either NRD. I worked out of St. Louis and they require candidates are PQ before going to MEPS. Each OR and NRD can decide if MEPS is needed for submission. You didn't "miss" a step, but you will need to go to MEPS eventually.

If you don't have to go to MEPS before submitting your packet, is there a rough timeframe after you hear from the board for when you actually need to go to MEPS? My OR said everything was in order back in the beginning of June, so I don't think MEPS is an issue yet (NRD Philadelphia, if it matters). I'm just wondering when I might need to go, since I won't likely hear if I was selected or not for at least another week, and my OR said it was possible that I could have a report date as early as August 3 (although I think he said that mainly for my dad's benefit). But if that's true, I'd have very little time, so I'm tryign to get a feel for things.

From what I understand, in order to get your final select letter and orders to OCS you have to have to be PQ'd and also have your security clearance investigation opened. I think you get maybe 2-3 months to have MEPS completed after being selected. Don't quote me on that one. Most likely you wouldn't go to OCS August 3.
