    My processor told me yesterday that this would be my class date. Haven't gotten a FS letter or sworn in yet, but I'm hoping that that's official enough for me to be sure that this is when I'm going. 26/M/New Orleans As far as workouts go, I do free weights and body weight exercises every...

    I feel stupid for posting that, because 1 hour later I found out that my OCS date is December 2nd. So please ignore my previous post, haha.

    July Boards

    Hello everyone, I was jut wondering if anyone else is in a similar situation as mine. I've cleared MEPS back in late August, and the security clearance process was started around the same time. My processor told me that the security clearance just needed to be started, as opposed to...

    February 2012 SNA OCS Board

    If you just had PRK, how are you going to be eligible for this January board? I only ask because I'm getting my PRK done on Tuesday, and I was told that I would not be eligible to apply for the January board.

    February 2012 SNA OCS Board

    I'm aware that Lucy has always been pretty consistent with accurate information, and I'm very grateful to her for that. I don't think my OR is trying to get rid of me or anything. I think they might just be under orders to not bother with anyone that doesn't meet their requirements, or something...

    February 2012 SNA OCS Board

    Well I just saw Lucy's post that was saying the quota is around 100 for the next FY (which would be FY13), which is better than what I heard. I just know that my recruiter told me 50, but I don't think that's right. He also told me that he won't be able to work with me any longer unless I...

    August 2011 Board

    My OR told me there were only around 50 slots for the entire upcoming FY. He wasn't specific about whether that was for pilot AND NFO, or just pilot. But even so, that seems incredibly low for an entire year.......Has anyone else heard anything like that?

    February 2012 SNA OCS Board

    My OR told me that there are only ~50 spots for pilot for the entire next FY. Has anyone else heard anything like that? That seems incredibly low, even for the current times.

    August 2011 Board

    Hang in there, Eagle! I was a non-select, which stings a little since one of the people in my NRD that got selected was someone that I helped out with their package (damn you, egd33), but I was half expecting it, given my stats in comparison to many others on here, the number of applicants, and...

    August 2011 Board

    It seems like if they didn't care about LORs, interviews, ECs, and motivational statements, they wouldn't have you do them at all. Especially now, with the boards being so infrequent.

    August 2011 Board

    @ Croakerfish - Marmoset is right. The Navy has its own formula for calculating GPA. If the credits earned to obtain your bachelor's degree is all the credits you have, then the GPA that you graduated with is what the board will see. If you have a master's degree, or additional classes that were...

    August 2011 Board

    There wasn't a board for Pilot or NFO in July. There is definitely a board on August 22nd for Pilot and NFO, although they are not accepting new applications for NFO. The consensus is that this August board is going to fill up the remainder of the quota for fiscal year 2012, and possibly some of...

    Thank you all for the words of wisdom. I'll continue the conversations in PMs, so as not to take up any more space in the thread.

    August 2011 Board

    The reason I didn't finish my masters degree will probably sound stupid and lame, but it's how I feel about it. Music is a very 1 on 1 education, where you have an applied teacher, and you learn from that person for your time in school. It's not like you're in a class of 20 or 30 people and...

    August 2011 Board

    My OR called me earlier today to confirm what millsra said about the selection board, in that they are only accepting apps for pilot, supply, and some other engineering communities that I can't remember off the top of my head. He also told me that because of my age, my degree, and my GPA, that I...

    PRK Surgeon in Louisiana?

    Hello all, I'm posting this thread because I'm investigating PRK surgery and trying to find a doctor in Louisiana who performs it. I've been looking around, and there are plenty of people who do LASIK, which is obviously worthless for me, but no PRK. I plan on calling some people I know at...

    It's nice to have information like that millsra, thank you very much for it. Do you, or does anyone know if there is still a suspension on submitting new application packages for this board? (the August one)

    2011 August, September, October, etc. OCS Boards

    I would think it's still going to happen. If anything, just the amount of time that has passed since the last one (was it in November?) would be enough to convince me. They can't just keep cancelling boards one after the other for years on end. That would really screw up the recruiting flow, in...

    2011 August, September, October, etc. OCS Boards

    This is the first time I've read this thread. I feel really dumb for not checking it sooner. I saw that a couple of people said that their ORs said the all-clear was given to submit packages for the August board, but the last time I talked to the OPO in my NRD (Thursday June 9th) she said that...

    You would be able to sign the age waiver, wouldn't you? Assuming you got pro recced in August?

    Next Board ~ April 2011

    Right. I had heard the same thing as well, and that the date for submission of packages was originally May 1st, but I think I remember my processor saying that it was pushed back to July 1st, which goes with what you said. I agree with you about not agreeing that the August board is full. That...

    Next Board ~ April 2011

    My OR is telling me that there will be a board in August, but that it's currently "full" from people who had their applications submitted for previous boards that got cancelled. My situation is that I was planning to submit my package for the April 2011 board when it was cancelled literally the...

    Next Board ~ April 2011

    I just drove to my processor's office to update and re-finalize my package, and she said that they are still under orders to not submit packages because they still don't know if they are going to have a board in August. Just wondering if anyone has heard something similar or if there has been...

    Next Board ~ April 2011

    When I last talked to the Lt. in charge of my NRD, she said that there will be a board in the August/September time frame, but that the OCS dates wouldn't be until FY13. She didn't make it sound like it was anything set in stone (obviously, since no one has heard anything solid), but it seems...

    Next Board ~ April 2011

    That's what I thought as well. I've been checking this thread regularly just to see what people have heard, but this was the first time I've heard something from someone in my area, so I was just wondering if it was a new update and if anyone else had heard something similar. Thanks for the...

    Next Board ~ April 2011

    I heard from the officer in charge of my NRD that there will be a pilot/NFO board in the August/September area, which would count towards the next FY. I was just wondering if anyone else has heard anything similar to this.

    Next Board ~ April 2011

    If the April SNA/NFO board is really back on, does anyone know if they are still taking applications for it? The reason I ask is because my package was finalized literally the day before my OR got word that the board had been cancelled. So the only thing my package needs is to be submitted. I...

    Next Board ~ April 2011

    I found out about the cancellation earlier today from my OR. Needless to say, I was upset, but I'm trying to do the same as Kay and focus on getting in as best shape as I can, and hope that they will schedule a board for pilot/NFO/SWO in the near future. When I talked about this with our...

    I agree, jtmedli. I was planning to continue putting my package together.

    Hello everyone. I just recently took the ASTB and got 5/6/6 50. I'm pretty bummed about them, but my brother told me they were above average scores, if only by a little bit. The reason I'm bummed about them is because my GPA for my undergrad wasn't really too spectacular (2.8 out of 4.0), so I...
