I had this problem in 2010 at my west coast base. I had a September trip that I tried to buy tickets for at the end of August, during a Salute offer change period, just like this. My ITT told me I was out of luck. If you need these tickets, you are NOT out of luck, you just have to do a little more leg work.
NAS Jacksonville keeps the current year tickets on hand, probably because they are so close. I called the NAS Jacksonville ITT and they were WONDERFUL. They will take your order over the phone, fax you a release to sign, you send it back and they will Fed EX your tickets to you at whatever speed you are willing to pay for.

Hey there.
This year the Salute offer changeover has been even more frustrating that usual!
The 25th date is a date specified by Disney. I do not know if the MWR system had buy-in. Shades will have them on that day as will Disney.
I"ve been telling Disney since January that this would be an issue (trying to get an earlier release announcement and tickets as well).
Once they woke up (the week after the renewal announcement) Disney took action to get the tickets out the door. This did happen and now it is up to the military distribution system. DoD MWR uses a contractor to distribute the tickets to all the ITT/ITRs and from what I understand they are the holdup
Camp Pendleton just started taking WDW salute ticket orders the other day with a 2-3 week delivery time. see: this post
Even more confusion to throw into the mix, now all base ticket offices have had to stop selling tickets for the current offer and return them to Disney for accounting. So if you want to go before this offer ends, you too are out of luck for your FP+ reservations too...
