That's a really good question, and I am afraid I don't have an answer to it. . . They are using criteria which is unknown to me. I had everything ready to go when I got my selection letter... yet no FINSEL. . .

Just got the call! FINSEL for October 23 class
Im still betting that we are all getting our FINSELs for an October class. It appears the 10/2 and 10/23 FINSEL letters are being dispersed in a random rate though, which is understandably annoying. But hang in there guys, we're seeing a lot of FINSEL action this week so I get the sense this is the final stretch for most of us.

The reduction in the US Navy is very minimal and has not ever had any real noticeable effects on officer recruiting.

Well it looks like the FINSEL's are coming in boys. Should be no time now!

LT, CEC, USN
Does the SWO community publish a monthly health overview like the CEC does?
For CEC, it shows as of August they are undermanned by 6 ENS and 3 LTJG, but overmanned by 133 LT for FY17. In FY16, 14 OCS slots are still unfilled and more losses than gains of officers overall are projected through FY20. Seems like if current officers aren't retiring or being promoted as planned, then OCS accessions slow down.

Still doesn't tell me when I'll get my FINSEL or OCS date, but gives me plenty of scenarios to think about.

That CEC snapshot is just that, a snapshot, those OCS spots I doubt are unfilled they are just people that haven't graduated yet as that was August so there are a few OCS classes that will add to those numbers. The projection through FY20 doesn't surprise me as they have talked about shrinking the CEC

......... (And girls).
So couple of guys in my unit told me that I have couple of gray hairs, and they were shocked since I am so young, and people didn't really notice them before. I will attribute this development to me patiently waiting on my FINSEL and not stressing about it at all... Because why should one stress about things we can't control

Everyone who is still waiting- where are you alphabetically and age-wise? At this point I'm trying to make myself feel better by making up reasons for my delay.
Please tell me you're all in the second half of the alphabet?
I'm also 26, will be 27 on Oct 2, so I'm also telling myself it's a blessing not to have my FINSEL yet. I actually prefer not to be yelled at on my birthday, so... Yay for me?

My recruiter is back from leave but not answering his phone. No emails either.
