SLUDGE,
Like everything else in this process, the time between receipt of your FINDOCS and final selection is probably a function of timing. Like, when is the board for your designator meeting with final selections on the agenda. How many more slots for your designator are available for FY04. What channel are you taking (Civilian, Active duty, BDCP, Prior enlisted). Yada Yada Yada .... It's the Navy version of "hurry up and wait!"
