So ben, what do you think the situation is for those like myself and Neo who have already graduated college and have been pro rec'd. I submitted final docs 4 weeks ago and am anxiously awaiting and praying for good news. Just wondering if you knew anything regarding situations such as ours?
Considering we are pro rec'd most likely for FY '05, will the '04 BDCP people being pushed back affect our final selection?
Well with the two Final Selects that got posted earlier today, I think things are fine. They don't give you a pro-rec if they don't see you fitting in and have a spot to give you. At least that's the way my recruiter put it. You guys who have been pro-recd a good while ago and are just waiting should be hearing back soon. Maybe even today since two other guys heard. I went through a very similar experience when I applied. They (big Navy) had not estimated future need for officers yet, so they weren't taking anyone. Patience is hard, but it works. If you've been recommended then I think you are in the money. Unless of course you are a former crack dealer or terrorist - that may prove detrimental to your application.
It's like someone already posted, most of this mess is just speculation. It has been my experience that things work like that a lot. Rumors spread and people get scared... Trust your CO, which in your and my case is our recruiter. They will have the "official" word and know what to do.
Good luck, keep the questions coming if you have them.
And yes, you are likely in the FY2005. That includes all OCS classes that graduate after 1 October 2004. So yes, I would guess that the BDCP people getting pushed back can only help you. It is just my guess though, don't take it for more than it's worth.
