USN FY25 CEC DCO Reserve Board

[ZCGB001]

I feel like right about a month after not hearing anything I start getting antsy and wondering what’s going on. I wonder if the new administration has any effect on how fast these things get processed.

Have you guys given any thought to commissioning ceremonies? I wasn’t planning to do much, not being prior service, but my recruiter encouraged me to make a slightly bigger deal out of it.

Have you submitted your Ready Reserve Transfer Request Service Agreement yet?

I was notified of my selection before Christmas and still haven’t received my final select letter or COMDOCS.

Submitted the RRA on 01/15 but no FINSEL yet

Hello everyone and congrats to @adam2024. I highlighted below my understanding of three items needed to clear to get your FINSEL (I have been wrong many times).
Medical Clearance (N33)
Security Clearance (Favorably Adjudicated)
Administrative Processing: All required documentation received

Once you are clear, your name is submitted and should appear on the Reserve Active-Status List (RASL) Officers "scroll" then the secretary of defense/Navy will approve your FINSEL. This process take ~6 weeks.
After FINSEL signed then COMDOCS are requested for oath and signature.

I heard from my OR today that he expects FINSEL within two weeks and COMDOCs around end of March. First drill will be around early May (Your mileage might vary). I just wanted some rough timelines to plan personally and professionally. Anyone has given any thoughts about ODS dates (Attached FY25 dates)? It would be cool to meet some of you.

I was looking at 25070 and 25080 but I heard that it can be a challenge for reservists to get a spot.

I have not given much thought to commissioning ceremony but don't let that keep you from doing what you want. It is your commissioning. I do plan to get some regular silver dollars for first salutes even though that might be a ways out.

If anyone is planning to go to uniform thrift shops when we can get to them, maybe we can keep an eye out for each other's sizes. Could be a bit of saving if local and still some if shipping.
