My PMS just emailed us this, no **** copy and pasted straight from the email:
ALCON,
Results for the FY14 Accessions Board are delayed indefinitely. They will be released after results are briefed to Dept of Army. Once I know, you will know. I know this impacts our graduating seniors in December, not knowing branch for uniforms.
I can't say I'm suprised by this, I had a feeling from the beginning that this could happen.
Considering all the changes and the shutdown it is a bit like a perfect storm.
Complete change in how they handle accessions.
Not releasing the OML until branching.
The last minute reduction in AD slots
The addition of the Guaranteed AD with ADSO for certain majors.
The Gov. Shutdown.
Add all these together and it has to be a real nightmare trying to sort everything out.
This is really going to be rough for those that were set to commission in December. From the sounds of it they don't anticipate things being resolved before then. My question would be, will they go ahead and commission these cadets without knowing what branch they have, that's got to be uncharted territory. I can see a lot of very late BOLC dates for this commissioning class.
The addition of the guaranteed AD for certain majors with ADSO is something that I can see really throwing a wrench into the accessions process. CC would have to go through all those cadets that qualify and then determine how many AD slots are left over for the standard accessions. With limited personell that has to be taking more time then they expected.
This is truely a mess for this years MS4's, being the first ones to go through this new process. I just wonder how long it will take CC to get a handle on all this before next year rolls around. Who knows, there could be even more changes by then, the new leadership at CC seems to be on a real mission to shake things up, it may be that they have done to much to soon, I guess only time will tell.
I wonder if we'll see more cadets deciding to just go Reserve or NG so they can move on.
Hang in there, it's got to end sometime.
