I didn't see a thread for this board yet. Correct me if there's one out there already or I missed an update on this board being moved. Best of luck to everyone!

I haven't seen a thread yet, and I've been watching out for one. I wonder if the lack of a thread indicates fewer applicants to the this board. What designators are you submitting for?
Hmm, interesting take. A lot of groups existed 4-6 months prior to their board date, so you might be right. I missed out on Intel in DEC, so I changed it up and added SWO at the suggestion of many on here. Trying for 1. SWO-IW, 2. SWO 3. SWO-IP this time around.
The SWO- IWC options are essentially going to the NROTC and USNA sources. Good news is that IWC boards will consider you for all IWC designators.
OPNAV N13 approved my Exception to Policy Request for the Navy Program Authorization 108D GPA minimum requirement. Checking in for the IWC board.
Wow, I had no idea. Thank you.
If you aren't aware, they changed the entire process for requesting waivers. OCMs are no longer the approving authority, it's now It is FAR more difficult to get an exception to policy since it's via OPNAV N13. My CO was asked questions on my behalf. I had to justify the reason for it with a letter that my Commanding Officer had to endorse and sign.
This wasn't done lightly and I'll be blunt I didn't ask for your opinion on if they should have approved it or not.
I don't know what your goal was when you typed that up.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. You're on the board. The worst they can say is no. A lot of us, myself included, reach out to those in the recruiting community to kind of see where we stand. I missed out on IWC board in DEC with numbers pretty similar to yours, but I knew my chances were a little lower going in without a STEM thanks to the community here. Worst case, you get a pro-rec N, and you try another designation or finish your Graduate degree. Looks like you're killing it there. Good luck!

No, the OCMs and PMs are still the waiver handling authority. If the situation/condition is not waiverable, yes you can submit an ETP up to CNP (via N13).
Speaking of which, enjoy the ETP while you still possibly can with the possibility of N1 cracking down on allowing folks who don’t meet the requirments to apply.
