Alternatively, you could apply, get the CJO, wait until the class drop comes and then permanently burn the bridge if you don’t like what you get.
The drops are posting how far out before classes? It looks to be about a week. But planes aren't assigned till you're at your class, right? So you'd be gambling on the odds of your SSN. The 220 is on my radar if needed.
