it is first come first serve, now AD candidates have to have medical and security done before, others do not, so AD generally get spots sooner.
at2wmz, I was pro-rec'ed for SWO. Now I'm trying to patiently wait for FS being on deployment and all.
SWO is also a different situation, there have been people waiting to go to OCS for SWO for 2 years, so those guys it looks like are getting to go first, so an AD person selected Pilot on the same board as you would most likely go to OCS before you.
two years? wow. Talk about a backlog. so if you made swo recently, you just got to wait??? on another note, enlisted advancement results came out today. Looks like alot of rates have opened up much more for advancement which is great.
does anyone else in this thread have tattoos? I have a large side piece, a half sleeve and chest piece. I took pics of them and filled out the tattoo form. Nothing shows in uniform. I was just wondering if that is all that is required, Or is there more of a process to it after pro rec? I did all this back in december.
They will be waiting, but the backlog is going down, and many are in the first classes of FY13, so they will wait a bit longer than those selected for Pilot or NFO.
The waiver should have been approved prior to board so you should be ok, but don't get any more, that would require a new waiver.
Hey guys, I was just readin the FEB/MAR thread and there are some applicants who are getting OCS dates. Has anyone here got any firm dates or FS letters?
I just go word this morning that my FS letter came in with an OCS date of Sept. 9. However, it was for NFO and I am trying to get it switched to pilot. Don't know if that will have any change on the date.
How are you going to try to get it switched to pilot? Were you physically qualified for pilot? Was NFO your first choice?
Spoke with my recruiter today, still waiting on my FS. I was PQ'd and completed my security clearance process a couple months before the board. I don't mind the wait, it'll come in due time. Just curious, are you a non-prior?
I was physically qualified and pro-rec'd for both. Something was just messed up with the paperwork and NFO was put as primary instead of pilot. I just had to write a letter sayiong that I wanted pilot and now am just waiting to hear back. I am prior though I got out about 3 years ago
I retested my depth perception (Stereo booklet) with a Kaiser optometrist, and I passed. In fact, the test seemed very easy and I got all of them right. I sent the results to my recruiter and he "passed them along." Now, I can only wait and hope that my situation turns out like yours.
Just got my FS letter, 08 July as well. Looks like this class is going to be filled with aviation guys.
My CO announced on the 1MC yesterday that I will be going to OCS although he didn't specify the date. I hope I will be getting a FS letter shortly to join you guys in the July 8th class. SWO-GSE1.
Hey all, I am a pro-rec SNA/NFO from the April board and also failed the MEPS depth perception. I recently visited my civilian optometrist and was given the stereofly test, of which I passed with 100% and the doctors said my depth perception was perfect. However, my OR sent the results to NRC and called me today claiming they said I was still NPQ'd for SNA, and would not consider any alternative tests as I was permanently disqualified. From what I've been reading on these forums, several applicants have had this same issue, received further testing from specialized eye doctors, and been given the green light for OCS under a SNA billet. I was curious as to why I would be disqualified after re-testing with a perfect score, and if anyone had any insight towards this issue. Thanks in advance, it is much appreciated.
Well hopefully I get similar news to you ASAP. I went to MEPS and submitted my clearance at different points before the board so hopefully they'll give me a phone call soon about a FS. I'd like to be able to finalize my plans with my current job and take care of whatever else I need to get done around here before leaving.
I had MEPs done beforehand and I must be waiting on my security clearance. I had an interview probably two to three months ago now; can't imagine what's taking so long. Any way to know when your sec clearance is finished?
