Can NPC stop postulating in our squadron at some point?

You can only have one recruit from each category waiting at a time, and which one it is, is determined the moment you check the enlistment papers, so you can literally get the exact same twice in a row without even leaving the barracks.

Actually you can, I get an average of 2-3 recruit from Gold Saucer a week without getting to see who that is. But I think overall you're limited to a queue of 5 'cause I didn't get any new recruit for a moment until I go check my queue which had 5 recruits waiting.

This is what I've noticed as well. I've been trying to get recruits specifically from MGS, so I pop Squadron Recruitment Manuals and go to town. Some weeks though, I wind up with 0 new recruits even after finishing all my MGS logs with a Recruitment Manual up. When I go back to my barracks, I find that I've already got 5 recruits waiting from other challenge log entries, like crafting or PVP. While it could be consistent bad luck, I seriously doubt it. There does seem to be a hidden cap on enlistment papers you can have in your queue.
