Congrats Mr Innocent. What area are you located?
How did you find out what your scores where? I was told that I could not be shown the scores.Thanks for the link, I have seen the PA for the IP community. I understand how you feel about going back in time, I also made mistakes early on my college years. I finally put it together and was able to graduate in May2011. Right now I am leaning towards enrolling at Penn State for the Fall2012 semester for my MS in Info Sciences. Fortunately, all my interviews went very well, I got all 10s each time including two interviews with O8s. Since I have a few years left, I will continue until I am no longer eligible (42). Good luck in your future endeavors.

I did not see the scores from the IDC interviews, I only saw a few from the individual interviews with the other non-IDC officers. My recruiter said if the interviewer was willing to share, it was all good but he was not able to show them otherwise.
This has been one of the things that annoyed me the most during the whole process. The fact that I can ask 10 different people the same question and get 10 different answers. It's not unique to the Navy, but happens in any huge organization. However, you'd think that a policy would be a policy. It seems like a lot of them are left to the discretion of the individual recruiter to enforce or not. It's one of the reasons why forums like this are so helpful, they help cut through all the smoke and mirrors.
I have friends that work in the civilian field that do interviews for their company, a few work at places where giving feedback is prohibited and violation could result in termination.
The "policy" is that the interviewee is not supposed to see the interviewer's appraisal sheet or scores, and that information is supposed to only go to the recruiter and then to the board — the idea, of course, being that the interviewer is free to be candid and honest in his or her assessment of the candidate. Of course if an interviewer is giving you the highest marks and a glowing recommendation, many of them want to share that with you. So while I was initially told I wouldn't know any of my interview scores or see the appraisals, I ended up seeing nearly all of them one way or another, usually because the interviewer sent a copy to me on their own. But then, I also arranged all of my interviews myself (except the IDC Region OIC and panel interview — and those were the ones I did not see).
So I was told today that my COMDOCs were sitting at the recruiters office but they were going to wait for my clearance before my commissioning. Is that the normal sequence of events? For some reason I thought you could be sworn in before the clearance comes back.
Something sounds a little funny there. I think NavyOffRec needs to Roger up on this one.
