ok gotcha i dont think so but pretty sure (pls fact check me). That you eventually should get the finsel letter and swear in etc. before OCSI haven’t gotten a finsel letter or anything “official” from the navy. Just confirmation through my recruiter. Should I be concerned?
Just adding. I am also civilian. Verbal notification on 12/6/24. Also still waiting on a date. Was told to assume Jul/Aug. Someone in my region just got a date, who's also supply selectee. I am hoping that means I will get a date sometime soon. I was told I was FY25.I got verbal notification on 12/6/24 from my recruiter that I was selected and would be leaving in July of this year. I requested to be considered for earlier placement of a slot opened up, and didn’t hear anything back until a few weeks ago via email. In that email, my recruiter gave me a ship date of 8/24 but told me to be ready any time as one of her recruits with a request in had been moved to the March class. Hope this helps!
Thanks for adding your experience! Tbh, I’ve been uneasy about how informal everything has been. I put my packet in last September and told people I was joining the Navy. Here I am 6 months later with no official “proof” that I’m even going, and people around my small town are starting to call me a liarJust adding. I am also civilian. Verbal notification on 12/6/24.

“Why you always lyyyyyinggg”jajaj yeah. Everybody keeps asking me when I’m going. Are you already in training? I’m just like idek bro. Sometime this year probably

yes same as you guys. The waiting in limbo has been unsettling. I may have had harsher words in my mind about it at times. But I have heard that they do everything in batches. So once people start getting dates, it should cascade quite nicely. I rarely get on here, but I am glad I did today.Thanks for adding your experience!

I’m also 10AUG. Anyone from Hawaii?Found out the following week after I got the call. I am active duty so idk if that makes a difference. 10AUG
What do you mean, can you give more context? Are you AD?We're having a meeting with a PRT in 2months. I will probably not get a finsel date until after that. Anyone else in that situation?
I’m coming from civi side and got a date of 8/24/25, but no mention of needing to do a PRT prior to leaving. Is this a thing everyone is having to do? I was under the impression that this was on first Friday after beginning training. My recruiter hasn’t been easily accessible, so I haven’t been able to get much information about a whole lot of anything concerning what’s expected of me and what I can expect from the Navy.The Nov2024 supply board I was initial selection notified. While waiting for the call for final selection date for OCS, I now have a date to meet with our regional command (meet and greet) and they will give us a PRT. Most likely will not receive a finsel date until after this new thing they are doing. And no, I am coming from civilian side.
I think it is a bit mixed up. Perhaps my region is doing something different. Seems you already have your OCS date, so you are good to go, I assume. This is some new thing they are having our region do. I do not yet have an OCS date and finsel letter.I’m coming from civi side and got a date of 8/24/25, but no mention of needing to do a PRT prior to leaving. Is this a thing everyone is having to do?

I have a ship date but no finsel letter. It seems odd that I would get a ship date without actually being final selected, but it also seems odd that I haven’t signed a service agreement or anything binding if they’ve committed to sending me. The whole thing has been really informal.I think it is a bit mixed up. Perhaps my region is doing something different. Seems you already have your OCS date, so you are good to go, I assume.
