I dont think the fiscal year has anything to do with it. Slots came and went every few months when I was at whiting. What drove me up a wall was that there was no way to predict or even get a rough prediction of what would be available for selection day. Just pray for the best, work hard and all that good stuff.
For FY '06 the plan is 24 new pilots, but for FY '07 the plan is to bring in only 12 new pilots. Overall, TACAMO is planning on reducing pilots by about 30% from the current manning levels over the next 10 months. I know about 12 pilots are already in the pipeline (meaning projected gains for VQ-3 or 4) for '06.
Keep in mind there is big delay between getting selected for E-6s and starting the FRS (which determines what FY you are in), about 8 months if I remember correctly, so realistically there are probably only a few slots left fo FY '06. Study hard and fly well, its getting tougher and tougher each year but you can still make it.

Just think of San Diego like eating at the Palm
Think of Pensacola as the Applebees
Oklahoma City would have to be the Denny's on its last day of health board certification.
Which one would you want to come home to?

Rand and Riot can speak for this. E-6 land can be fun if you like to just sit there and fly for hours on end, like a pax on comair. As a pilot, it is getting worse, they are cutting the # per squadron. Hours are getting less but heavy jet time is precious especially if you plan on getting out. Deployments can be shorter but you are home for sometimes 4 days before you go out again. So in a year you can be gone well over 6 months and up to the 8-9 month point if Ops abuses you. Other than that cost of living is way low in OK and there is year round golfing. Just look RIOT up if you get there and he can tell you the good places to play.
