NavyOffRec, Thank you for your gouge! So are we saying that those of us for this July board wouldn't go to Newport until FY14? I truly hope not! But if it must be, it must. All, It seems this is a very competitive board! You all have some terrific LOR's, GPA's & ASTB scores; best of luck to everyone! Stats: 25/M Non-Prior SNA, SNFO, SWO 8/9/8/59 3.1 B.S. UF Sociology 3.5 A.A.S Air Traffic Control 5 LOR's: 1 Air Force Pilot, 1 Ret. West Point Grad, 1 Ret. Army Airborne Officer, professor & employer Eagle Scout, lots of leadership including sports & church, etc. -- Lindy
Some numbers changed on Friday, FY 12 NFO goal went up, many reason as to why, but what that means is for FY13 NFO there are some spots, as it appears they took some of the FY13 guys to make FY12 goal, so currently they have a goal of 32 NFO's for FY13 and so far have 26 identified, they always select more than what they need. Pilots FY 13 goal is 206 and what is identified is 122 SWO FY 13 goal is 133 and what is identified is 121
Just got everything in today.. 25/M Pilot/NFO/SWO 7/7/6 60 Aviation Flight Technology Bachelor's 3.26 Master of Science in Technology Studies (aviation tailored) 3.6 - grad Aug. 2012 Commercial/Insrument/Multi-engine 295 TT Senior Member in the Civil Air Patrol for one year AFROTC Cadet for a year and a half - also involved in Arnold Air Society LORs- undergraduate adviser, graduate adviser, flight instructors: Chief and Deputy Chief, 2 Air Force Captains from ROTC, and a Naval Aviator (LT.) who worked in the same ROTC unit I was involved in My 3rd attempt applying...my packet has come a long way and I am hopeful my persistence will pay off.
Thought I should wait until I was sure I have everything in for my application, but I'll post my stats anyway. 25/M SWO OAR: 65 B.S. Civil Engineering from University of California, Davis Working on my Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering at De La Salle University, Manila with a 3.81 Passed the Fundamentals of Engineering/Engineer-in-Training Exam LORs - 2 churchmates and one instructor I had in a review class Listed down 2 high school sports for my activities. This is my first time applying.
Do high ASTB scores take on weight of lower GPA's? Also, I still havnt seen anything about pilot quota's for July. Do we have a rough number for pilot spots? 23/M Non prior SNA, SNFO, 8/8/9 - OAR: 66 2.8 GPA Texas A&M (Civil Engineering) Worked two jobs majority of my way through college (including leadership type positions)
For me it did. I had a GPA just over 3 as opposed to under. I got accepted with a 3.1 in Econ and 64 8/8/9. Your GPA is lower and the fact that it's under 3.0 is an immediate deal-breaker with some people but Engineering and working your way through college is generally good well upon. I talked to someone the other day who went to my recruiting office to put in an officer package and the OR turned him away with a 2.9 in Econ, saying it would be a waste of time and effort. But, one again, he was Econ and you're Engineering who worked his way through college.
If you know that guy have him email the OR telling the OR he wants to apply, if he gets an email back saying he won't let him apply he can then contact his congressperson and then that OR's butt will be swinging in the wind, OR's are specifically prohibited from turning away people that meet the program authorization, the ONLY way an OR can turn a person away is if they do not meet the PA or have a legal issue that the manual says is not waiverable.
He didn't literally get turned away, guy just told him that they cold put in an application but there was no way it'd get accepted.
I have seen several with GPA's under 3.0 picked up for Pilot, but they had 8 or 9 on the PFAR, if I had a guy that wanted to be a pilot with that GPA I would have him take the test, that way I can give him a better picture.
So, around what time can we expect to hear whether or not we were Pro Rec'd? Sorry if the answer can be found somewhere else.
I'm in the same position as you. (Isn't it funny how well Ags and Horns get along after graduation?) 23/M Non prior SNFO, SWO OAR: 71 9/8/8 2.7 GPA UT Austin (Finance and Government) Work experience, organizations, etc
I think you forgot to take into account the superior education that an Aggie receives compared to a t-sip. (just kidding) No SNA?
My eyes are pretty bad, so if I am not selected this time around I will start saving up for PRK. If I can save up enough to pay for the surgery up front to avoid any debt, and the timing of the surgery went well with a board, I would definitely put down SNA.
Makes sense. I have 20/30, but I am working two jobs and saving just in case I need PRK for some reason. Good Luck to you.
28/M/ prior service SNA/NFO/Intel B.A. Intelligence Studies, AMU (Graduated May 15 - that's why I'm applying so late...multiple combat deployments takes a toll on getting your degree) GPA: college: 3.815, highschool: 3.78 ASTB: 7/7/6 57 Active Duty IS1(EXW/SW/AW) have my MTS as well, almost 10 yrs service, currently with SEAL Team FIVE, currently the LPO of the N2 department. All 10's from my CO, O5, and all three of my appraisals are all 10's as well (CO, O5, of SEAL Team ONE, O4 intel, O3 F18 pilot). Served in an O4 capacity for the last two deployments, hoping that helps me out in the leadership department. I know my chances are slim for pilot because of my age, even with the age waiver, but not submitting was a 100% chance of non-select. (turn 29 this Dec 7th) jake
I'm trying to be patient for this board but after just missing the last one, I feel like I have been waiting for a long time. With so few spots, I wonder if NavyOffRecruiter would have the number of applicants for this July Pilot/NFO/SWO board?
Sort weeks = long weeks in Kuwait, nothing makes the time go by faster when you’re in the sandbox. I do get to ride a camel in two weeks… pretty excited about that.
Well, it's more like "3 weeks + however many days it takes for the word to trickle down to the actual applicants" than "a couple" weeks anyway right But yeah, it's hard to be patient in any case.
I'm waiting anxiously for this board. Time is dragging. July 2013 SNA Applicant 24 / M Non Prior ASTB: 8/9/8 ACT: 29 BSCS Neumont University (23 months) 3.36GPA PPL 70 hours 4+ years software development NAMI Flight Physical Complete
Possible reapply is always on the back of my mind...there are only so many things one can do to improve his/her packet after multiple attempts.
