April 2012

Man this is killing me. I'm glad you all have gotten your dates but I'm getting pretty anxious. I had been doing great waiting but I had to call and double check today. My recruiter said he is still waiting on the email and doesn't know of anywhere else to check.

A target would be great right about now. Guess I need a double shot of patience.

I'm right there with you Ben so your not the only out there who has not heard anything. I had my security clearance completed and MEPS done six months ago so there should not be a hold up. Good luck to you!

Now that others are getting final select letters with OCS dates of August and September I'm starting to wonder why I was assigned October.

All,
I was pro-rec’d off of the April board for SWO and just received my final select letter for Aug. 19. I am extremely excited and hope many of you get the same news as me very soon. Good luck and see you in New Port!

First thing is you have to look and compare SWO to SWO, SNA to SNA, and so on, then what can happen is people have OCS dates placed in CIRIMS then the letter is generated, sometimes when a person has work stacked up the most recent placed on the desk is what is looked at so it may seem a persons OCS info was first but it was actually not, there are just many reasons as to why some are earlier than others.

So am I reading you right that of I was told a letter has been generated for me, I have a date and just haven't heard? Is there a way my recruiter can look this information up?

If a letter is waiting to be signed the recruiter can see the date in CIRIMS, if there is no OCS date in CIRIMS the letter is not in routing, the problem is most recruiters don't want to use CIRIMS, but ALL have access

Okay great. The way he has described it I'm not sure that he knows about this. Thanks for the information.

Good point Chief! I thought about the different designators, but wasn't sure if they played a part in determining OCS dates.
For the forum >> Have any IW's from the April board gotten their final selection yet?

I have a similiar question for the forum........have any SWO (other than HM3) got any final selection?

I have, and am going to OCS August 19th.

 

[exNavyOffRec]

nothing yet.

I wouldn't expect many April select IW's to get word about OCS for a while, they needed just a couple and the IDC board went nuts selecting people, get a good workout program going and look for a job to keep you busy.

Can you look in the system for another recruiter's applicant? I'm not sure mine knows about this either.

I cannot, and he knows, we were all required to attend training on it, and if he doesn't either he is an idiot or his command has failed him and blew off required training.
