Has anyone else experienced "Class Manually Nonconducted" for WOCS?

So I recently got a request for orders for WOCS this coming April and submitted all the proper forums needed for the request for orders but about two days ago I got an email saying that my course was canceled and it said the reason for the cancelation was “CLASS MANUALLY NONCONDUCTED” as stated in the email. This is like my entire life I’ve spent the last 4+ years doing everything I could to make it to the WO flight program and I’m trying not to freak out but I called my recruiter and he said he’s never heard of that before and he would look into it but he said that it was the week before the next board so he’s pretty busy and haven’t heard from him since(about 2 days ago). Is there anybody that this has happened to that could alleviate this massive stress building in my gut and maybe clarify why I would just out of the blue have my course canceled. I’d really realllyyyyy appreciate it.

I’m in the same boat as you. I received the same email. What class are you scheduled for? I have orders for the February class. When I called branch, they “think” it’s because they’re looking at shortening the 7 week course to 5 week. But I haven’t gotten a solid confirmation.

Contact the Warrant Officer Recruiters ASAP, the number should be on the website. Also, there should be a phone number on your RFO at Knox to contact, it was Ann Nollette (can’t remember how to spell her name) for me. I had trouble and I contacted her directly and she squared me away.

Was it a cancellation for Phase I? Phase I DL was removed from WOCS at the beginning of FY19. Also, the 7 week prior service and street-to-seat WOCS has been integrated with the 5 week course. Sometimes it takes a while for all the moving parts to sync up with the changes.

I'm in the same situation. I tried calling WOCS and they directed me to HRC who then directed me to USAREC and they didn't answer. I even tried ATTRs help line, and at least they were able to tell me that it means that it was cancelled for everybody, not just me. It would be a big relief if it is just shortening to 5 weeks. I suppose that means we need to do the DL portion now.

The same thing happened to me, if you check ATRRS, you will be able to see if you are still enrolled in Phase 2. I have heard they are doing away with the resident Phase 1 and just pushing everyone through the 5 week course. I am also supposed to be reporting for the April class!

contact the course director that emailed the changes. I have the same email and it is only due to the change in program. what class are you in.
