February 09 Boards

[jorgelito]

Big congratulations to those who found out today they were selected.

If you were non-select, DON'T GIVE UP! Improve your apps and reapply. Plenty of people on this board have suffered similar fates and dug their heels in and got it together to achieve their objective.

For the rest of us, I know it's hard but we got to be patient. We will find out soon enough. When I get antsy waiting, I do more PT. At least it's productive and taking my mind off things.

Did you ever post your stats anywhere? I don't see them.

My stats are posted in the November, January, and February board threads. My stats are also listed in my profile (except for my LORs and extra curriculars).

Congrats to everyone who got pro-rec'd this month!!!

[tdimarco]

Congrats to everyone who made it! Is anyone else still waiting? My sense of humor about this whole O-Tools issue is wearing thin!

Well today is proved to be an exciting day. As of 1130EST I learned that with my 20/10 vision I have been wearing glasses and contacts so my application wasn't reviewed and now is gonna be looked at in march (hopefully)...AAAHHHHHH!!!! Somehow with my messed up eye exam from meps 20/25 and 20/17 my FAA exam was lost which shows my 20/10 in both eyes. I guess til next month, hopefully the selection % for SNA is the same or higher for march. Congrats everyone selected and Euclid I guess you'll have to wait for drinks another month

Hey no worries bro, at least you're workin' all the kinks out of your paper work. Just think of it as one step closer to final selection. Keep your head up and hang in there.

 

[flyn4pride]

Oh i am....though I knew I should have went for the navy meps physical instead of transferring my AF meps physical (lesson learned).

Some of you guys are making me nervous about the SWO boards next month with these non-selects. I would love to see the stats of people selected

Sorry you didn’t make it. But at least you have other choices to hold on too. Seems as though being enlisted or prior enlisted has help those who were selected. There was an active duty guy that had a 37 ASTB and was selected (so I’m not sure it was your OAR that did you in).

You have to understand, SWO is a tough job! Being on board two ships, it takes a special type of person to perform those duties. Maybe the Navy looked at its attrition and seen that priors and current active duty guys do better and stay within that community longer then non-priors… they may be looking to get a better return on their investment… just my observation.

But don’t let no one tell you NO… get more interviews (senior officers – O-6 and above if you got ‘um), get more LORs (again, senior officers if you got ‘um) and resubmit. Leave your OAR alone for now, it looks good to me.
