Need advice.

Hello all, I am looking to enlist as a 35W going into 35P/35M. I am pretty firm on that as I'm not willing to substitute for anything that's not going to get me into DLI. I am completely aware of the wait time right now and I'm willing to wait a few months. My recruiter just told me that I have to wait till October first as the fiscal year starts then and new jobs roll through.

How realistic is this window? I am going to MEPS on Friday and I am going to talk to a counselor about it as I hear they have more information about it. I keep hearing all sorts of information about DLI availability, but I don't think the recruiter is well-informed either.
