    Switching from SNFO to SNA

    Jesus... With the number of people always badgering them to switch from SNFO to SNA they'd probably pay you to do it the other way around.

    Question about final select letter

    It is definitely one of those things that varies from person to person. Last year I applied to the January 2012 board, got pro-rec'd on 3 FEB then didn't get a final select letter until 25 MAY! The finsel letter said I'd be going to OCS on 8 July, but my recruiter had originally told me I...

    I got pro-recced snfo on the January board (notified 3 Feb) and didn't hear anything about an ocs class date until mid june. Sometimes I feel like whoever makes all of the decisions is just sitting in an office somewhere with all of our names stuck on a dartboard...

    I had a feeling that would be your answer. Should I work on trying to memorize more than just the chain of command/general orders/code of conduct before getting there?

    What would you say was your favorite/best moment at ocs and what was the worst? (Without giving too much info away of course!)

    Congrats to everyone getting dates! I sure hope the rest of us hear something soon. How many others from the Jan board are waiting on FS/ship date?

    Does this mean that if I haven't heard about my final select letter/ship date yet my name could possibly be on a roster somewhere and you would have it already?

    You are absolutely correct on that one, sir.

    It's been 3 months since my pro-rec. Got PQ'd almost immediately afterwards. Security clearance started over a month ago. Talked to my recruiter today. Said my FS is somewhere waiting to be signed by someone. I know it exists but he still hasn't seen it so no ship date yet. He said it would be...

    Pretty sure the same thing happened to me. I was PQ'd by N3M almost immediately after I heard that I was selected. Then the issues were with my clearance. Even if they tell me I won't get to go to OCS until sometime late this year I'll at least be glad to finally have a definite ship date.

    Talked to my recruiter today and he said everything should be good to go for me to get my FS letter soon. He said my security clearance went through and there hasn't been anything to reject me. Then something about processors and such... Anyways, he said I should hopefully here something in...

    Is this the same for NFOs? I'm still waiting for my final select letter.

    This waiting is killing me! I've already been PQ'd by MEPS but apparently this security clearance is taking forever. I had everything filled out for it and got my fingerprints taken a few weeks ago, then last week my recruiter emails me some EQIP pages to sign so I did and scanned/emailed them...

    Can anybody tell me why I was disqualified for flight after getting PRK?

    Thanks for all of the info everyone. I'm going to take the NFO spot. When I got word that I was selected I looked more into what exactly NFOs do depending on which aircraft they are flying in and it all sounds like something I would be happy doing. I'll also try to get my medical stuff...

    Can anybody tell me why I was disqualified for flight after getting PRK?

    Wow, that's pretty ridiculous. I know that's not the problem because when I had my 6-month check up the doctor wrote down 20/20 on my medical record but when we were doing the eye chart test he asked me to read the lines and at the end of it I asked him if I could try to read the next one down...

    Can anybody tell me why I was disqualified for flight after getting PRK?

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone could tell me why BUMED NPQd me for flight after I had successful PRK surgery done. From what I understand the eyesight requirements for Naval Aviation are: -20/40 max correctable to 20/20 -refraction less than 6.00 sphere/less than -3.00 cylinder...

    Thanks again for the info NavyOffRec, it is greatly appreciated. Hopefully when I get everything submitted it won't take too long to get a final select! Do you know about how long they normally take? I've already had a MEPS physical done and filled out everything for my security clearance so...

    NavyOffRec, I spoke to my recruiter about getting everything done to get a final select and on the topic of when I would ship to OCS this was his response: "I know you want to get to OCS soon, but we are currently at max quotas for OCS this year. You may expect to leave sometime next year."...

    Wow, thank you for all of your helpful information sir. Last semester when I was still in school my recruiter called me to tell me that the board was being pushed back to January then told me that if I got selected that OCS was so backed up I wouldn't be going until the end of 2013 or possibly...
