Final Select Purgatory

[jander12]

Off of the top of my head, I want to say February 1. My packet was submitted as the December boards were going on.

Man... I was hoping that maybe you said something around August 10. I just lost all hope for an 18 May class.

@NavyOffRec maybe you can answer this question for me: If I get a 10 August date then ask for a post-August date, will "they" try to get me in the next class, or "punish" me for not being ready and make me wait a while to class up? I have a baby coming sometime mid-august. I don't mind taking leave from OCS and starting a phase over, but I don't know about leaving for a class that starts August 10th and potentially having to take leave within a week of getting there. I wouldn't mind not taking leave, but the wife might! Thanks for any insight.

I was selected off the December board for SWO and got my orders for the 27 April class! Still haven't gotten my final select letter which has to filter down. What a great present for returning from an underway!

Baby birth is quite a gamble. The baby could be born before it's due date, or long after.

Congrats Ironhead... How did you receive your orders??? Was it directly from your CO, from BUPERS, or over the SIPR side??? Just curious as to how your orders were presented to you...

Yes, yes it is. But, if I do take it and still miss the birth, at least I can blame it on her and the baby (joking, of course)!

how do the civilians get orders; I assume everything is passed through the recruiters? If this is the case do we just assume everything we be relayed in a timely manner or should we try to stay on top of this, maybe on a month to month basis?

I got my orders over nsips after seeing in cms-Id that my order had been released. It wasn't for a day or two that I got notification from my command since I was tad

You need to communicate this with your OR who can talk to NRC, this is a valid reason to get a later OCS date.

I'll do that, thank you for the response.

Got my final select letter today for 10 August!! Still a long way out, but I'm very excited.

Did your OR contacted you about your OCS date or did you actually received your letter? Congratulations too!!

He would only find out from his/her OR. Your OR receives your FS.

I think he's trying to find out whether he got his actual letter or just a prospective class date.

Specifically, talk to the program manager VIA your recruiter. This needs to be done ASAP.

For all the active duty folks, I posted another thread on how to find out about your selection status.

I think he's trying to find out whether he got his actual letter or just a prospective class date.

There is no actual letter. It will be emailed to the OR and forwarded to the applicant.
