His name is Paul Celestin. He is the civilian that handles all of the active duty OCS applications (basically our version of your recruiter).

He said he hasn’t processed yet but will add my letter to my file. So I’ll change it on the spreadsheet when I get that confirmation
AD processor. Great guy honestly.
Yeah agreed he’s great.
I don’t know why he would process mine and then yours is hemmed up. When did you submit?
The last day at like 4pm central time lol
Figured I’d be a little edgy lol

I also "waited" until the last day, sent mine at 12:50 pacific. Still haven't got confirmation.
So just so y’all are aware, I had the FLAG office submit my package for me after my July meeting.
Followed up 2 weeks before the package was due in September, had to scramble because Mr. Celestin hadn’t received it, after 2 weeks of radio silence I involved my airboss and it got handled. Received a confirmation a day later.
Idk if y’all have a mentor or a DH you can go to but it sounds like that worked for me.
Hate to say it - but I’d also maybe come to terms with the fact that they might not accept your package.
Hope it works out for both of you though. I can say I’ve put in enough work for this package id be pissed it all gets thrown away because someone doesn’t respond.

I don’t want to crush any dream or cause any panic right now, just going to pass along that every SNA/NFO candidate in the October OCS class was informed that all Naval Aviation candidates are on an indefinite hold and we will not be going to OCS when we were slated to. Very vague information right now, but it appears that the FY23 Officer Accession Plan has still not been signed, and there are ongoing conversations of a potential significant reduction in Aviation accessions for the FY. Aviation OCM and NRC agreed to hold off shipping any more pilots or NFOs till they figure it out. Idk what that means for those of y’all still applying, but now you know a little more from the other side. Good luck to all.

They should be no different than the most recent board, they take the total number and divide by the number of boards, and that is what the board has to give.

They normally don't give the numbers to NRC until Dec and sometimes as late as Feb,
Everything is a trickle down, the number of squadrons determine the number of aviators they need from CO all the way down to new accessions, so unless there is a major reduction in squadrons there shouldn't be much of a change.
There can be fluctuations based on how NROTC and USNA have done as far as retention from entering that pipeline until graduation, but when dealing with large numbers the effect is minimal. There can also be fluctuations based on how people are doing in the pipeline, less attrition means reduced need for new accessions.

I sincerely hope this is not the case, just relaying that life in the “pro rec Y but not yet shipped” camp is not good. October class was packed full of SNA’s from the August 2021 board and they’re pushing us back yet again.

He is not wrong, I have seen boards cancelled at the board date, it is very rare but it happens.
It is no secret that they are way ahead of selections as at this point of the year having people slotted for FY 24 is just nuts, especially how many that have been put in FY 24.
