Talked to my recruiter today. The dco results are still waiting for the Commandant's approval. Once they get that they still need to go up to the Secretary of the DHS, which it may take up to another month for it to go up and come all the way back down.

I don't know for sure but I'd imagine once the Commandant signs off, we'd get word of the "unofficial" results. Having Sec. Nielsen sign would be a formality since I can't imagine a scenario where she wouldn't rubber stamp. It was like that for the USMC OCS board. We got the call from our OSO almost a month before the official letter and orders came down.

Anyway, since I've been lurking on here for two months, I figured I'd say hi give you all a heart attack with a new post that might be someone getting word, but isn't.

It would be awesome if your not on the list they go ahead and tell you. I mean if you didn’t make it the commandant and secretary aren’t changing that. Just let me down early. The wait is killer. Did get my packet in last Friday for the next panel.

Talked to a friend at recruiting command, this is the case so whenever the Commandant approves the results they'll be released to recruiters.

While we are all still waiting, if you haven’t seen the timeline from the April 2017 DCO board it’s worth looking at. http://www.uscg.org/Forum/aft/29991.aspx

Seems they were unofficially notified at the end of Jun and official results weren’t posted to the internet until 18 JUL.

Well...here’s to hoping (again) for a call this Friday!

And another Friday down.

Also been lurking on here since April, thought I would say hey. I got a good feeling about this week.

I got a good feeling about this week.

Me too, it would fit the timeline from the April 17 board, although they didn't have a Commandant change at the same time. Fingers crossed.

I’ve been watching the number of views increase for this thread over the past few weeks. Half of them are likely from me alone.

yeah I mean I don't check every hour at all. Nope, not me.

Still waiting... I thought they would come out this week for sure. I applied for the fall board and was an ALT select for PTMO.

Just another post so those of us who check every hour have something new to look at. If we get in, I vote for meeting up in New London a day early. First round of drinks are on me!

Honestly, I really appreciate this. Not getting results is bad enough, but not having anything new to read makes it that much worse. Second round on me!

I'll be the dd, lol! Thought I would check in since I too have been silently stocking this thread for a while. I applied for PTMO as well.

Today is the day, right? Right? I'm all for a celebration later, but the wait is nearly driving me to drink now.

Yep I know exactly what you are taking about. If I have a fourth Chocolate milk today, it’s gonna be brutal. You can only drink so much Chocolate milk.

My recruiter called me today.......because he mixed me up with another guy with a similar name.

What was he going to tell the other guy?

That's rough bro. I can't even get ahold of my recruiting office.

You do know that you have to pass height and weight if you get approved haha. But you make a good point, waiting on life decisions is the hard part right now. This board is in between a potential career with the coast guard or volunteering for a deployment.

Haha, you saw that post? I thought I had deleted it because I couldn't get my reply to a previous message to work. You gotta treat yourself every once in a while, lol. That sucks though that you have an opportunity to deploy but are in limbo. My command was making some billet changes so I had to notify them early about my intentions to transfer to the CG. So now I get asked constantly if I have been selected. Funny thing though is, I thought I was going to get harrased by everyone about it, but everyone has said they wished they had joined the CG, lol.

Anyone? Anything?? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

Nothing here. Whats the leave for the 4th looking like for the guys who are in right now? I'm pretty sure the holiday isn't going to do us any favors in the making this happen faster department.

Well if its anything like my current organization, nobody will be working till Monday. Then you have to worry about leave for the recruiters involved. So yeah, I am just going to check back next week. Crazy pills for sure.

I figured I would make the obligatory post just to keep the excitement going. I’m anxiously checking the mail when I get home from work and the forum throughout the day. Count me in for meeting the day prior to it starting. Maybe we can get some morale T-shirts made: “I survived the wait.” Any other logo ideas??? Hang in there guys!

The list should be out, ppl will still need to sign and accept, but my recruiter called me earlier and let me know I was selected. Best of luck and call your recruiters once they return from the break!

This isn’t a joke. Is it?

Anyone else get notified? I talked to the recruiter today and all he said was the results should be out any day.
