    n Kevin, when I submitted my OCS package back in 2013, I submitted the actual package to the OCS processors in Millington TN and all the medical documentation to BUMED. So I had my package separated into two separate parts, OCS Package, and OCS Medical. Not sure what the current process and...

    CIS (Computer Information Systems) is considered a STEM degree by all accounts within the Navy. I never took calculus/calculus based physics for my CIS degree and it is documented within my Officer Service Record under the STEM category. The calculus based courses with a B or better grade help...

    September 2014 IDC Board

    Unfortunately, when I was PRO-REC Y the BUPERS automated system was down and going through their security upgrades. All my information regarding my selection was ascertained via the OCS processors and NOPO, who is no longer here to assist...

    September 2014 IDC Board

    Yes, EVALS are important to a certain extent; however take it from a guy who NEVER had a ranked EP or was never the #1 MP... Yet a first time select for OCS... My point being, the board members are competent enough to understand that the actual write up in block 43 is the important part... EP's...

    September 2014 IDC Board

    I should be alright... Despite the "old age" and having to stretch/warm-up like an ol school car, I should be able to hold my own on the PT side of things... Yeah, I thought I was FY14, but my bubble was busted back in June...

    September 2014 IDC Board

    Your OAR score is fine... Don't harp on the OAR, trust me the board looks at more than a "high" OAR score... I was selected for IW with a 45 OAR, so I think you are fine... Just my input, take it for what it is...

    True indeed; I will be attending OCS 21SEP14, 5 days from now and I was PRO-REC'ed 20DEC13... So 9 months and 1 day later was my wait time, not to mention I am the last out of 14 OCS IW selects to attend from that board... So don't base your wait times off my timeline...

    July IDC Board Purgatory

    I was selected for IW with a 45 OAR score and 3.1 GPA; granted I am currently AD as an ET but who is to say exactly and specifically what the IDC boards are looking for besides the board members themselves... Good luck to all OCS applicants; continue fighting the good fight.

    Yes, since you are active duty you can qualify for an age waiver for the Supply Designator... Be mindful that age waivers are granted at the discretion of the OCM (Officer Community Manager) for the prospective designator you are applying for... Supply Corps age waiver's for Active Duty are only...

    No worries Bro... You are not alone in this world... I was also selected from the DEC13 board... Granted I believe you guys are going Aviation and I am going IDC, but fact still remains we along with many others have been on "hot standby" since December last year... I am also "unofficially" in...

    August 31st OCS Class

    Congrats Bro... I've "unofficially" been told the 21SEP14 class convening date, however still awaiting final confirmation... Since 20Dec13 I have been "patiently" waiting... I guess when you are in a "one of one" billet and on "arduous" orders in the fifth fleet AOR they keep you on station...

    CWE (1840) does "fall under" the IDC community, however they hold separate boards from the mainstream IDC designators. CWE boards are rolling and based upon the number of packages received and then processed... You waiting on the most recent IDC results should have no bearing on your PRO-REC Y...

    1) Standing three section duty in-port and port and (report)/starboard while underway 2) Running and exercising on the pier in 100 degree weather 3) Lurking on this thread 4) Maintaining positive control of my nerves as I continue to wait for an OCS date (5 months and counting)

    IDC (IP/IW/INTEL/SWO-IDC Otion) Board

    From one ET to another ET, you will be fine with your OAR score and submitting your package as stands... I only scored 4 points higher than you and was selected for IDC IW back in December 2013... I know a few others (AD) who were selected for IDC IW with OAR scores in the mid-high 30's, so...

    Jan/Feb/Mar Boards

    That is correct... If you look at the graduation pamphlets from previous OCS classes this FY you will see that a majority of the commissioned designators were of the aviation "flavor" (SNA's/NFOs)... There are a few SWO, IDC, and Supply designators "sprinkled" within these graduating classes...

    IDC (IP/IW/INTEL/SWO-IDC Otion) Board

    True indeed, anything is possible, but I believe December and February selects for IW will remain FY14... My thought process... IW was the ONLY IDC designator to convene a aboard in December... Results of that board 14 (AD) selected... Now fast-forward to February 10 (AD) selected and a few...

    IDC (IP/IW/INTEL/SWO-IDC Otion) Board

    It does not work like that... Each community/designator gets a specific quota of seats to be filled per each OCS class... I've seen IW and INTEL get between 4-8 seats apiece for seat quotas for OCS classes... IW still has to fill its seats with selects from the December board... As it stands we...

    April IDC Boards

    Specifically referencing the IW (18100) side of the house, the board selected 14 AD IW's on the December 2nd IDC board and I believe 10 AD IW's on the February board... Of the 14 from the December board I believe only 5/6 have received there FS letters for the April 6th and April 27th classes...
