BDCP Final Selection and Pay Timeline
I was selected for BDCP (SWO) over a month ago, but I still haven’t received my final selection or sworn in. My recruiter had me wait about two weeks after my selection to complete my acceptance and mode-of-transportation paperwork because he was on leave. He assured me that once everything is finalized, I’ll be backpaid from my original board selection date, and I’m trying to confirm whether that’s actually how it works.
From what I’ve seen online, pay begins on the date you actually swear in and officially enter the program. I’m relying on this pay to help cover my tuition, so the delay has been really frustrating.
For anyone who has gone through BDCP recently how long did it take for you to swear in after being selected by the board? Did you receive backpay from your original selection date, or did pay only begin when you officially enlisted?
