Do you always get a select letter?

[IronDuke]

Hello everyone,

This past year I had applied for a naval aviator slot. In November, my recruiter called me and told that I have officially been selected for naval aviation. However, I never received any letter, he simply called and told me that I am now waiting for orders. Is this normal? Should I have received a letter? Any information is helpful. Thank you!

If I remember correctly, Final Select and orders come in together. I could be wrong though

Yes, this is normal. You have been selected, and as long as you don't get arrested, experience some kind of extreme medical trauma, etc., then you just have to wait for your Final Select letter which will have your official OCS class date.

I never saw my final select letter. The orders are the important thing.

Your FINSEL letter gets sent to your recruiter/processor VIA CIRIMS. He or she downloads it and should contact you to begin the paperwork/enlistment to OCS. You'll get orders for OCS within a few weeks to a few days of shipping out.
