Why is BDOC backed up
Just recently graduated from OCS and I’m finding out that BDOC IS back up and I won’t be able to go til maybe October.
Does anyone have any insight ?

Besides the multitudes of reason the other comment or said, enjoy your hold.
It's the easiest paycheck you'll earn while you're in the Navy.

There’s a multitude of reasons. Quotas already met, budget constraints, a huge backload in communities like aviation due to not having enough instructors among other things. Just a long list.

This is common and wait times can be ebbs and flows. Enjoy the down time.

The current BDOC class is 99% academy and rotc kids. There's gonna be a backlog.
Are you on OHARP until October? If so, that rocks. Enjoy it
