Congratulations and welcome make sure to join the Facebook group and chat that we have going!!
Well...I was a little persistent. Paul sent the email to my chain saying I was selected and wanted a date when I was available to transfer. I told my chief I wanted the September class and he sent the email off. He replied that specfic class dates can't be guaranteed and i need to be flexible because COVID, reduced class sizes, needs of the navy etc. I waited about a week then emailed him myself, because I just wanted a rough idea. Pretty much got the same email back with the addition of if the delay is causing a hardship to route it through my chain and have them email him. So I talked to chief and XO and they replied pointing out my ass is old and I'm already on an age waiver so sooner the better. I guess he took it into consideration and forwarded my stuff off for a final approval.
I’m not quite as old as you, but I’m right there. Gonna be 32 next month with an already approved age waiver, but I would still rather leave sooner than later just to be safe haha. Plus my Conditional Release for interservice transfer expires in January so I need to leave before then at least. Congratulations on getting that final approval!
Don't hold your breathe man. I was selected in the January board of this year and was told 06SEP for a class up. I have been working with Paul and asked for an update on orders for that date and he sent me this. "Until a class date has been confirmed for you, 06 SEP 2020 does not exist, I will notify you and your command once a class has been confirmed. PO2 please continued to be patient, be flexible and most importantly be safe. "
Our designators arent needed from what I've been told.
You and I will be in the same class brother
What board were you in?
Great idea, however, from what I've seen the OCS classes are a mish-mash from different boards and there are other circumstances to consider. There were people selected from earlier boards that couldn't ship when normally allowed because they hadn't finished college until may and those are now being rolled in too. Here's hoping all of us get to go soon, but all of us will get to go eventually.
