Ask an OR anything

For OCS, the fiscal year starts in July rather than October, since it's based on your commissioning date. Boards start filling those slots as early as the January before. It's designator dependent and affects SWO far less than high-demand communities like SNA, CWO, and Intel. It doesn't help or hurt you in any meaningful way.

Hello! I'm curious about how the turnover of the FY affects (if it all) the OCS selection and ship process for applicants.

I know the quotas for each # of officers allowed to commission are predetermined by congress annually. And the Navy divides up those numbers to fit the communities they need to fill between USNA, ROTC, OCS, ODS.

I guess i'm thinking of how for enlisted recruiting, waiting for October may give you a wider selection of MOS to choose from.

In my case, my OR submitted my packet (SWO i-sel) to the processor last week. And I wanted to know if applying this time of year is hurting or helping me in any kind of way.

The numbers historically stay pretty even for all commissioning sources.

Some people are already getting put in FY 27 spots.
