May-ish 2015 Pilot/NFO Rolling Board

[Doc Walsh]

I don't know why I did this but the last thing I have to do for my application is the ASTB. I am taking it on Friday. I am shooting to have my package submitted by 30Mar.

Really? My recruiter suggested I do that first to see if I even had a legitimate shot and so that I wouldnt waste time doing everything else. Good luck to you.

I'm surprised anyone would do any appraisals for you. That was one of four things all of my interviewers wanted to see.

Yeah when i scheduled the interview board, i asked if i needed to have the ASTB completed and they didn't care. They were more concerned about my prior leadership roles. They asked me a lot of opinion based leadership questions and big Navy politics. I guess it might be different compared to you guys because I'm still on active duty and the application process is a little different. The ASTB has always been something that i kept pushing back and rescheduling but i think i am ready for it now.

EDIT: uncdude33, i just noticed you're AD. did your career counselor help you out at all or did you have to do your application all on your own?

Good luck with the exam! Make sure you take as much time as you need on the small "sample" portions prior to each section, it helps a ton.

Checking in for this board. All those 8s and 9s are nerve-wracking

but good luck to everyone

It was pretty much just me. Once I had "completed it" my MMCO/AMO started to 'sponsor' it, and helped with some revisions and a few other things. How'd the ASTB go?

Rufio181 and/or NavyOffRec do y'all have a better idea of when the May board may be meeting? Or when a good date for fleet applicants to get their packages submitted to the fleet applicant processor to ensure the package makes it to this board? I know the information is limited, but any ballpark would be appreciated. Thanks.

Let me check... no. No clue.

 

[uncdude33]

I figured as much, but nobody had asked in a while, and I was afraid y'all might be getting bored!

 

[cmwz1510r]

Hey, for you fleet applicants that have packages in, how long did it take the processors to get in touch?

This board is always more lively than the SWO. SWO guys are hardly talking.

 

[haimehhh]

I'm in both, (luckily? unluckily?) watching on here and waiting makes me anxious but inevitably I wind up on here lurking

My most recent 3 mile was 21:12, I've been working hard to get that down a lot but spring break didn't help so much.....
You?

That's pretty good, I haven't really done much long distance, nor have I had much change to be running
Did a 9.30 today for my mile and half though...so I'm satisfied with that for now.

Will definitely kick my training into high gear (hopefully) after I get the Pro-Rec Y.

If Diana or slater could provide me with Gandalf's contact info, I would love to get a DD 370 from him.

In the mean time, I started my online master's degree at Sith State and have a decent GPA so far.
