I just got some very interesting news. I'm a senior in college in BDCP SNA set to graduate this June. For some reason my OCS ship date was not given to me when I got into the program and I only found out today after asking my OR to look into it. January 1, 2012. It was my understanding that the Navy tries to get BDCP guys to OCS as close to graduation as possible, I can't believe there's going to be a six month gap. Considering that BDCP guys get an upgrade to E-5 upon graduation and the fact that I'll be done with school this could potentially be like a six month vacation other than having to stay in shape and meet with my recruiter regularly.
My question is whether anyone has heard of this happening before and if so, is there anything the Navy will require me to do during this time to get some of their money's worth out of me?
I'm still antsy to get to OCS so I'm not too happy about the delay after graduating, but I'm thinking I might as well get another job to keep myself busy and make a bunch of cash in the meantime. I'm just pretty shocked about the situation.
