Regarding the 1500 number or 91% have any of you thought about it could be both?
For example, the 91% might be that one posters det., and not the national avg.
Some dets have a higher rate than others. VT quickly comes to mind. When Nick4060 went in 10, I believe he said they had an 80% rate. The nat. avg was 55%
Hence you may see a det with a higher rate, but the overall number can be lower. In the beginning of this thread a poster stated it was due to accession issues, which is not necessarily a sequester issue.
If that was indeed the case, I could def. see the delay, and I could see that they may still send 2200 cadets. There were a lot of check points that they had to go through up and back down the chain. If they had to run the numbers for FY15 with manpower, that would take time for them to crunch the numbers.
If you think about it, it would be probably hard for them to make their numbers for 15 if they did cut it down to 1600. They can't bank on that many of qualified OCS applicants 2 yrs out.
It would also have a bigger issue later on if they didn't get enough applicants when it comes to promotions.
People tend to forget the AF plans 5 yrs out at least.
Off topic, but on topic.
Hadha,
1 200? If I am doing the math, that is a very small det. How many in total? 25?

Yep, hopefully we will get word from my cadre at around 3 today when one of my fellow 200s has to go to the det for something.
Now that to me is interesting. Typically, they are given an official release time and date. This site will light up like a xmas tree if I am assuming correctly you are at Drexel University.
My question would be this: Are all 200's attending this meeting? If so, it is highly unlikely they are releasing the results because if you go with the 91%, at least 1 will probably get bad news. It may be that this meeting is their way to inform why it was delayed, what to expect, and come tomorrow they will have the results.
