Bummed out about BDCP. Making my first post here because accurate information on the state of the program is really scattered and hard to find/verify, even on Airwarriors.
I've got a few friends asking me about the program. I note the Facebook group for BDCP seems pretty lost. There's not a lot on Google or the Military.com forums, either.
If some Airwarriors could take the time to post some accurate gauge for me, it would be appreciated.

- The only quasi-official gouge I can find says BDCP is closed through Oct 2011 (the start of FY 2012?). Some on these forums say its closed through FY 2013, if not permanently. Can anyone link confirmation either way?
- Some sources indicate it is merely closed for certain job ratings (SNA, Intel, etc). Others say the entire program has been put on hold.
- Is there anything prospective BDCP apps can do in the meantime? A waitlist? A particular congressman to write?
- Is there any other program, anywhere in the military or DoD, ideal for those who are essentially halfway done with school?
- Not that it matters, but would anyone care to speculate on why they closed this particular program? Primarily budget related, or was it driven by performance? Did STA-21 or NUPOC get closed down as well? Seems to me that BDCP would be the cheapest of these options for the Navy itself.
