    Next Pilot/NFO/SWO Rolling Board in February 2015

    All - no, no connection between the STA-21 (managed by NETC) and the OCS program (managed by NRC). Two different commissioning programs managed by two different Navy commands. If your chain or command is asking about "drop dead OCS application due dates" or something like that - specifically for...

    January/February 2015 SNA/NFO Board

    TGL78 - like Rufio mentioned, I am "out of the game" for the most part and can only speak to the "generic" process as questions might arise. If a civilian applicant applying through a recruiter, you need to remain engaged with your recruiter for the most-current information about open/closed...

    All - information from within NRC is that the RC IDC DCO board results (from the 15Sep14) board were released back on 18Sep to the NRDs. The selection rate at that RC IDC DCO board was 20%. The results for the AC IDC board have still not been given back to NRC by the IDC community. But that AC...

    Outgoing NOPO. The new NOPO would have to log in with a different account name other than "National OPO". And unsure if he or someone else from the NRC staff is going to make the effort to make frequent entries onto this page.

    One point of clarification - this exanded PQ requirement affects NRD applicants only. Fleet Sailors applying for an OCS designator should still follow the application requirements and process outlined within OPNAVINST 1420.1B. The Fleet Sailor OCS application process and requirements have not...

    Final Select Purgatory

    All - applicants are always able to "decline" further consideration for any remaining designators on their application should they have been Professionally Recommended (PROREC) in a previous designator. For example, if you were PROREC-Y for your 1st choice, then NRC will discontinue processing...

    Sorry - but the best way to get this information is to continue to remain engaged with your Recruiter and/or the Processor working your kit at the NRD.

    All - no, I would not expect the IDC board to go earlier than its present scheduled date, which is 15Sep14, with applications due to Recruiting Command no later than 06Aug14, earlier if at all possible to allow the team here enough time to process the kits and get them ready for the board. I...

    Yes - SF86 Security Questionnaires that are rejected by OPM for any reason will delay NRC's ability to issue you your FINSEL. We must confirm that an applicant's background investigation was at least received and started by OPM (completely outside of our control) before we can ship someone to...

    NRC has started issuing FINSELs for Pilot/NFO applicants from the June board, but we have just start placing these folks into future OCS classes - Oct-Dec14 timeframe. I would suspect that by the rate in which we are placing prior PROREC-Y Pilot/NFO applicants that the larger majority of the...

    In addition to EOD and PAO being "fleet-only" boards in FY15, AMDO is going to be the same thing since 1) the community prefers to pick from enlisted aviation maintenance types, and 2) NRC's AMDO accession goals are expected to be so small (perhaps less than 10), it makes more sense to fill with...

    All - surprise, but we here at NRC opted to hold another SWO board since we have a sufficient numbers of applications to justify having another board, less than the prescribed "within the next 90 days if not sooner" assigned to the rolling SWO boards. Out of 95 applications, 60 applicants were...

    All - Yes, the next AC IDC board is still scheduled for 15Sep14 with applications due to us here at NRC no later than 06Aug14. The results for IDC boards often take 2-3 weeks to come to NRC from the community and before we are able to release them to both the Fleet and the NRDs. So with the...

    All - and feel free to pass this along - OCS is no longer involuntarily cutting the hair of female shippers going to OCS.

    OSUrower - the delay is because NRC has not yet been given clear and official guidance as to what our various accession goals are going to be for FY15.

    As I have mentioned, the business rule is "first-in-first-out". So your shipping "priority" will most likely depend on when it was that you were selected for your highest choice designator on your application. We try to minimize the time that folks are waiting to ship once ALL of their...

    HM2 - recommend that you review Chapter 4 of OPNAVINST 1420.1B. It has all of the policies about whether a Sailor can or cannot execute transfer orders if applying for OCS. You need to review that instruction prior to talking with your Detailer to ensure that you are staying within its...

    Recommend you wait for NFO since the timing will work out where you probalby wont ship to OCS (as a SWO) until Sep-Dec timeframe and by then, the next Pilot/NFO board will have reviewed you for NFO. So you lose nothing by waiting.

    That is correct. We are filling those classes with prior selects from all designators. Just that by volume, there are going to be more Pilots and NFOs and SWOs since those three communities represent our largest expected shipping goals.
