The minimum for SNFO's are a 45 on the OAR and a 5/5/6. You don't real need to concern yourself with the PFAR since you can't be a pilot. I'm in the same boat as you. I wish you the best of luck!I thought i met the minimums for nfo but it still put me in the red zone
What were your stats from the August board?Just found out i wasn't selected for the August board. However, I am retesting and reapplying for the Oct board. Any and all tips would be helpful because I REFUSE to fail.

Are you allowed to submit to consecutive boards? I thought that wasn’t allowed? Maybe it was a different community?Just found out i wasn't selected for the August board. However, I am retesting and reapplying for the Oct board. Any and all tips would be helpful because I REFUSE to fail.
I expressed my plan to my recruiter and got no negative response. So I’m assuming there is nothing wrong with doing so.Are you allowed to submit to consecutive boards? I thought that wasn’t allowed? Maybe it was a different community?
I know this should go in the "motivational statement" thread but no one answered me there. Are you guys (applying SNA) making your motivational statement about aviation specifically? Or focusing more on being an officer in a general sense?

Mine is more focusing on becoming an Officer but I talk about the journey i took to become a civilian pilot and my passion for aviation. so kinda of bothI know this should go in the "motivational statement" thread but no one answered me there.

While the board makes their decisions given the relativity [if we can call it that] of the competition, objectively and peer-to-peer, the motivational statement is one of the few aspects of the application process which allows for a subjective analysis of the applicant.
Not trying to knock you for gathering information, only saying that you should be more concerned with answering why you want to be a Naval Aviator, and plead your case to the board with your interpretation of the duties and responsibilities of that specific career track.
What other people are doing and saying is only going to benefit you so much, and if you bend your take for the sake of seeming like a better fit, against your actual expectations of the job/title/lifestyle/etc... You're only going to set yourself up for disappointment.
Having considered all that, I explained how my career had led me to a point in life where I felt capable of upholding the special trust and confidence delegated to Naval Officers, and how my proven track record in the field of aviation made me an adequate fit for a position in flight school and the fleet (regardless of airframe).
Hope that helps you out.
