    That's usually a sign that they have your FINSEL, and are about to sign your contract... they wouldn't make you do it if they didn't have your letter...

    Well never mind than... maybe we are just too eager to get started on all of this... @NavyOffRec are candidates usually this eager? My commander gave memo to turn in my equipment early... he wants to make sure it all goes smoothly, apparently my desire to get all of this started is quite...

    When I got selected I was told that I would get my FINSEL in couple of weeks, and that I should leave for OCS by the end of the summer at the latest - that was sort of a worst case scenario. Mid October will mark six months since we got PRO REC Y... At this point I feel like any timeline...

    I go through periods of ups and downs... but as of late I am trying not to let it get to me. I am focused on things I can control and hope they will get back to us, at least, by the end of the year. Every timeline I was given has been busted which is not something recruiters can control. They...

    Your frustration is understandable. I was shocked when after 5 months they asked me for the same thing, and I've held a national security position for over 2 years. Had memoes to prove I've renounced the other citizenship many years ago. They were equally confused when OPM refused to do another...

    Also please don't write to your congressman. No one wants a congressional inquiry... that is a bad day for everyone, and that will surely earn you a special spotlight for the forseable future. You will learn quickly that military cares about going through your command chain a great deal. I work...

    It is a very centralized process and the information doesn't flow freely to everyone, and this is set-up deliberately... The unfortunate side effect is the inefficiency at which personnel actions move. Additionally if your case contains even a slight deviation from the volume of applicants they...

    That does seem really odd. I am assuming the navy is trying to cover their bases or the program manager is new, or "interpreting" the regulation. Either way, we have no control over the process, which is why our energy should be focused on excercise, and proper diet. . .

    Precisely what I was getting at, the issue at stake here is not that the DoD is lax and Navy is strict. It is that they are going about it the wrong way, but the devil is in the details. OPM does not grant clearances, they only conduct investigations or subcontract them. The respective...

    It all comes down to the needs of The Navy... Projections and end strength requirements.
