Letter
It comes in the mail. I did not receive mine in the US mail yet. I called my recruiter to ask her a question about something else and asked if there was any update. She said, " It looks like we have a final select letter in the system for you". She then said, "yes we do, I can email it to you". Which she did. 30 minutes later she emailed me and asked if I could come in Wednesday to swear in because my COMDOCs had arrived.
Here is a cut and paste of the letter.

So this is the response that I just received from my recruiter using this information on this site as a basis. Pretty much told him that people I know are starting to hear and was looking for an update:
"Mr. Iceman6291
Just checked the CNRC N3 website which manages the scroll list. All my applicants from the Sep. Sup board were on the Oct Scroll submission, the last one published, Dec, showed no approvals yet, waiting on January and I just looked for it, not out yet. Once we have the scroll approval the FINSEL and COMMDOCS will be forth coming. I don't anticipate it should happen past this month. Thanks for the follow up and I hope your holidays we're enjoyable."
So either you all have kickass recruiters with wicked fast access to information as it comes out or there is something crossed here...

First, I can confirm that USAF does NOT have a "kick-ass" recruiter; from personal experience.
Next, I think we can all expect some further frustration as, someone above stated, more of the "dominos fall" and the domino isn't us. I don't think any of us expected that we would all get word within 24-hours of each other, that it's time to raise our right hands. I suspect further patience is in order, more for some of us than others.

Just got off the phone with my recruiter. He said that we're just waiting for final select letters to be signed. Which could be any day. (Is this sounding familiar to anyone? I feel like a broken record!) He seemed confident for a January commissioning still. I think your select letter depends on if you have a unit lined up (which I do).

Another broken record.....
I called my recruiter today. He was not aware of the "Scroll" being out. I sent him a copy. Some 30 minutes later, he emailed this response.
To Wit: The signed scroll has come back, all names on it. NRC should be signing your FINSEL letter this week, and we should receive a copy in the mail. PERS 8 then will generate and fedex him a copy of our COMDOCS by early next week. Be prepared to meet with him, so that he can commission us.
My question: I don't want him to commission me, (cheap and dirty). I want to do it in the setting I choose, with whom I choose. Isn't that MY choice?

Spoke with my recruiter as well, same as most above - still waiting on final select letter. I think I've decided on the recruiter's office desk-side commission with another short for-show ceremony at my work.

I had to resubmit the SF86 this week. Somehow, they lost it. Think god it is just a periodic reinvestigation. Senior Chief advised me that next week they should send my final letter. Whats another week after almost a year?
Yes, within reason. Communication is key, but just don't tell him that you think he's cheap and dirty.

Well, I did it. I raised my right hand today, signed my paperwork and was called ENSIGN!
What a feeling, going from the bottom of the enlisted ranks 8 yrs ago to today, I finally made it.
So I went into the admin and medical office to ask a few paperwork/record questions and it was weird to be called "sir" every time someone talked to me. Felt good I must admit, but I think it will old quick. I have promised myself not to forget what it was like to have a pain in the ass officer around and will do everything I can not to be "that guy".
Good luck to everyone and hope your time is very soon. Make sure you read everything, I found some errors on my paperwork and they had to be corrected before I signed, like the wrong name!

Congrats USAF.Boom!
I received my Final Select Letter via email today, Jan. 6, 2010!!!! I was told that prior or currently serving selects are being 'processed' first since they are in the system and since I'm not prior service or currently serving, I would imagine all of ours are being filtered through now since I got word today.
So, as far as the rest goes, I would imagine tomorrow will be your day!
Just for the record, I screamed pretty loud when I got the letter
