I am totally skipping the summoning of NavyOffRec and going back to Bam Bam's question. I know we have talked off-thread about uniforms. I'm going to just give my final opinion again here. I would NOT by the NWUs until you absolutely positively have to do so. You know you are going to need khakis and dress blues. It would be the most logical to buy a set of those and commission in that.
Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS on the PQ!!! I cannot wait to hear that your COMDOCs are in!

My OR presented me with the options of MEPS or a particular local private clinic right off the bat. The closest MEPS is almost an hour away, so I'll be going to the local clinic. (Fingers crossed)

Thanks PenguinGal! I remember your message about the NWU. I plan on buying at least one or two sets of Khakis and my dress blues. I’m sure I’ll find out pretty quickly after signing into my unit what the standard uniform for our organization will be. The last AMDO that I ran into, while I was TDY to Rota, was wearing the NWU. I’ll eventually get the full complement of threads but right now this furlough is hitting my paycheck hard! It’s only the necessities right now!
Will the clothing sales on base even allow me to purchase uniforms? I have a DoD civilian ID card but my AF reserve ID card has expired. The online site denied me entry. I did see some online places that you can buy them but I really don’t know how they fit so I’d rather wait until I can try them on. If worse comes to worse, I’ll refer to my above comment (at this point jogging shorts and a waffle house cook tank top would work for me)!

If you flight physical was recent you should be good, if it was a long form as well, I had a USMC candidate who completed all the flight physical stuff, we took that physical, sent it to N3M and he was PQ'd.

I don't think you will be able to purchase anything on NEX online until you have a DON CAC; I have access to AAFES online because I am an Air Force spouse, but I can't log into the NEX site (was looking for prices and options, etc.).

My Final Select letter has arrived! Now I just have to wait on the comm/docs. The letter says that it should take around 10 days to get the comm/docs but I will be in the middle of my PCS at that time. I’m really hoping that they get here a few days faster so I can swear in with my current OR. Either way, I’m really stoked!
That is awesome! I do hope you get to swear in with your original OR. 
I also hope your wife is in town to be there too!!!

Me too! I will be waiting on the home front commander. She has put a lot of effort in towards this milestone as well!
In case I haven't said it before, congratulations!!!

I commissioned yesterday! My FS letter came in on Tuesday and my Comm Docs came in yesterday. I went down to my OR’s office with my good buddy who is a CW3 Blackhawk pilot and did the desk side swear in. We are going to do a more formal ceremony soon but we had to get the paperwork started because of our PCS that is happening in 11 days. I am supposed to have my indoc drill this weekend at my local NOSC. Talk about hurry up, wait and hurry up again!
I can’t wait to get started! Thank you for all the help and guidance that I have received from the members on AW. It has been an invaluable asset over the past 18 months. Now I have a license to learn even more about our Navy!

Hey Bam Bam,
Following your pursuit of a Navy career from my first post in November to today was truly enjoyable. In many instances a happy ending isn't always the case. But your determination was great and you will be a great asset to the Navy.
Best of luck in your new assignment and career.
