I'm a BDCP/SNFO heading to OCS on May 31. My grad date looks like around the 1st of September sometime. How long is the typical wait before you start API? Just wondering. And will you get to take leave during that time before you report? I appreciate all advice. Thanks.

It varies depending on you. We have guys in my class with anywhere from 1 to 5 months of wait time. ?? Yes you will get leave after OCS and during A pool if you so desire.

If you have leave saved you can take some after OCS graduation, but once you are done with that you muster until a space opens up for you in API. Some will get stash jobs and some don't...it just depends on what they need while you wait. My boyfriend (SNFO) is waiting for API currently, and he's been over a month since OCS graduation, and he's been told he probably won't start in June either....but nothing definate. I dont think anyone, SNA or SNFO, has started API from his OCS class...or at least anyone he keeps in touch with. Enjoy the time off after OCS to relax!
