Thanks SWOHopeful! And thanks for the help too!

Pro-rec swo Hey everybody, Just got the call from my OR...PRO-REC SWO!!! I was an October applicant. To everyone who has been pro-rec'd, the ball is back in your hands, so don't fumble. To everyone who didn't get selected, keep applying. This was my second attempt, and it proves that...

Hey Caballo, Who is your OR? Were you originally up for Septenber and got moved to October? Has anybody who was originally up for the October boards heard anything yet? BTP1368

I talked to my OR this morning, and he said that he did not have the results from the October Boards. I was originally supposed to be reviewed in October, but now I'm starting to think November is more of a reality. BTW, I'm working out of NRD Chicago if that helps.

Wow!!! Good to see all the Pro-Rec's! I hope I get some good news soon haha. Anybody from NRD Chicago hear anything yet?

Well, since it is late and the west coast is behind everybody, applicants in other parts of the country should start to hear results tomorrow. Then you will know for sure if the results have been released. But since Nighthawk said he received a Pro-Rec, I'm sure they have been released.

Congrats Nighthawk! Looks like you're the first to report a Pro-Rec!

Try giving your Officer Processor a call.

+1 zbeasley, It's something that none of us can control, so there is no point in getting freaked out about it. FWIW, when I applied back in April, I think it took like nine days until someone posted that they had been Pro-Rec'd. I think we will hear something by the end of the week.

^^^ Oh I agree, only you can determine what type of relationship you have with your OR. My OR's office is over an hour from where I live, so needless to say I am not up there every week. During the application process I e-mailed/called him pretty consistently. Now that I'm up for boards...

I was not referring to the remarks section of the application. I used that to explain speeding tickets as well haha, and some other stuff on my application. I was referring to a document at the very end of the file that has a space for comments by the OR, OP, and OPO. I never met my OPO and...

CUPike, When you say your OR does a write up, are you talking about the last form in this file? http://navy-officer.com/CompleteApplication.pdf

Hey Grizzly, zbeasley pretty much summed it up. I was just curious, and I'm sure other people were too. Congrats on passing MEPS, and good luck at the boards. BTP1368

That preview looks amazing.

Damn Caballo, you beat me to it hahaha. Is this your second time applying? Good luck everybody. Grizzly, post some stats por favor.

Casselj, Let us hope that it is the former and not the latter. BTP1368

I wonder how this will affect the selection rates.

Thanks SWOHopeful, that should be more than enough time to heal if it is indeed a stress fracture. Good luck at OCS, hope to see you there!

Hi, If this is the wrong forum, or if this has already been answered, I apologize. I haven't been able to find this answer on AW so I may just not be searching correctly. My question is this: Once you receive your Pro-Rec, how much time do you have to get your PFT done? A week? A month...

Merging SEP and OCT boards. Hey all, Heard over on usnavyocs.com that September SNA/SNFO/SWO boards have not yet met and may in fact be merged with the October boards. I do not know if this is true, and if it is how it affects our chances of getting selected. BTP1368

I think that today is the last day for people to have their packets submitted. October can't get here soon enough.

Boards for SWO, SNA, and SNFO usually meet around the 15th of every month (excluding December). However, after reading the September boards thread it looks like the date for those boards was pushed back to the 25th. As far as I know, October's are still scheduled for the 15th of the month.

Pfa Oh, I was already training for the higher standards, and I am well above GOOD-LOW. What happens if you fail the out PFA, do you just get rolled back?

Casselj, Hahaha I owned those movies the first time I applied. I too wrote a request for reconsideration letter. Overall I'd say that your packet looks solid. Good luck. BTP1368

Round two Hi all, I am reapplying after being a non-select for SWO and Supply in April 2009. Here are my stats: 23 M (No prior military service) Applying for SWO only! B.A. in History and Psychology from Washington & Jefferson College GPA 2.95 (Yes, I know it's low. However, I brought it...

Pfa I thought the Out-PFA was supposed to be excellent-low. Did they change it?

Capitalization Hi All, I have a couple quick questions. What is proper capitalization for using the word officer? I have seen contrasting examples in this thread, and I am confused as to what is the proper usage. How should the following be capitalized: Senior Naval Officers Naval...

Hi All, Just wondering in anybody knows if the "At Board" list is out yet?

Sam, No, they did not give me a reason why I was a non-select. What was your major, and how did you do on the ASTB?

Hi all, I was a non-select for SWO and Supply in April. I have been looking at others motivational statements, and now believe that the one I submitted with my packet may have been on the weak side. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me with my MS. There are two big questions I...

Ugh! I can't get a hold of my OR to find out if I was Pro-Rec'd for Supply.

Congratulations again Renegade, I'm glad to see you got your first choice!

I haven't heard a thing.

Thank you all for the advice. I have a feeling that I probably won't get Pro-Rec'd for Supply either. I really want to receive a commission and be a part of a distinguished group of people. I think this weekend I am just going to try and forget the bad news. Next week I will contact my...

Non-select I talked to my recruiter this morning and found out I was a non-select for SWO, still waiting on Supply though. I'm gonna repost my stats: 23 M (No prior military service) B.A. in History and Psychology from Washington & Jefferson College GPA 2.95 (Yes, I know it's low. However...

Congratulations Renegade! I'm working up the courage to call my OR haha.

This wait sucks. I am "this" close to driving down to Millington, anyone want to come with?

The boards work in mysterious ways, last month the results came out three days early. The only reason I can think of that would MAYBE create a spike in the number of April applications seen, is the fact that we are nearing graduation time for colleges. My understanding is that in January and...

Plot your route. Hey all, I just came across this website. http://www.mapmyrun.com It allows you to plot your running routes and to calculate distances. It's helpful for me because I do mostly trail/road running, and before I would have to figure out how far I was running by driving my...

I'm going to try and be an optimist. My money is on Tuesday, but I wouldn't mind waiting longer if it means my name is on the Pro-Rec'd list.

This is worse than being a kid waiting for Christmas. At least then you knew it was going to be on Dec. 25th. Farva, your suspension...continues.

HAHAHA! Where is Samuel L. Jackson when you need him?

I guess the silver lining is that we are one day closer to hearing something. Good luck everybody.

Thanks Renegade, I'm looking forward to hearing what information you find out. Good luck.

Hey all, This is a big week for us, and I am sure plenty of us are anxious about hearing the results. I know I am. Try to take it easy today and enjoy the company of your loved ones. There are a lot of service men and women deployed over seas who don't get to have this privilege. In short...

I'm not sure if anyone has said this yet, but if you are getting shin splints you may want to look into prescription orthotics. I think most insurance companies will cover the cost.

^^^ That's gonna leave a mark.

Hey Pistol, Check out this site for some tips on running. www.runnersworld.com Have you ever tried High Intensity Interval Training to build up your speed/cardiovascular endurance? I have just started it so I can't say if it is working or not, but I have heard great things about it. If...

It is finally April! It seemed like March took forever to get through. Now we just have to wait a couple more weeks. It looks like there are some pretty competitive applications going up for review in April, good luck everyone.
