On another thread, Buck is saying september QMBO is presently being filled. So perhaps the ROTP on the internet means they have enough applicant on th merit list to fill up remaining classes for the fiscal year!
Infantry officer have lot of intake as DEO, so there are probably spots left until fiscal year end.
Best luck to you
Thank you Milerup.
Took a trip to the local RC today and inquired about the changes made to Direct Entry being closed to many officer occupations (including the Combat 3) on the CAF Jobs webpage. The recruiter confirms your line of reasoning: there are more than enough applicants sitting on the Competition List for this FY so they will stop processing new applicants for a while to come.

I heard from my recruiter that the selections on May 28 and June 6 were still filling up the last few spots for Aug BMOQ. Buck's post mentions that the Aug serial is full as of today (?) and Sep serial being loaded right now. There's hope for Sep BMOQ still!
My local recruiter corroborates the June 06 selection date, but like Rampo I have my doubts about whether it will go ahead or if anyone will actually be selected. Hoping for the best.
Also, do we know for sure when was the last time that anyone applying for Combats (Inf, Arm, Artillery) were selected for BMOQ? For as long as I've been keeping tab on the website I've seen mostly only Air Force people being loaded. The only reliable sample I can find for DEO INF was Fitzzie, who was selected in July 2016 to go on BMOQ in Sept 2016. It would be helpful to have additional sources for reference, if anyone can manage to find them. :nod:
