Civilian, all I think I can say, I was asked very cryptically about my availability, and it was implied that results were coming out very soon.

Are you a civilian? I don’t understand the cryptic part lol hopefully results do come out soon though, that would be great

ENS, 1520
If results come out within the next few weeks before I start OCS and any of you get selected then hit me up. There’s a few things I wish I had known while waiting for my final select letter and orders.
Good evening group.
New to this site. I'm very interested in applying for the AMDO designator. I'm an AS1 at 11 1/2 years and graduate with my master's degree next month. I'm scheduled to take the OAR next month as well. I know I'll need a waiver for TIS according to the Program Authorization. I also will need a medical waiver, and not sure how to go about that part. I'm hoping one of you here has some insight on how to go about getting a medical waiver and what's the likelihood of my package actually making to the board for review with a TIS waiver and medical waiver?
My medical stuff hasn't precluded me from going to sea duty as I'm currently stationed on type 2 sea duty in a special projects command. I'd rather try and submit a package than not try at all and wonder the rest of my career.
Again, any information anyone has on the waiver process would be extremely helpful.

Haha, sorry, someone asked civilian or enlisted in a message, didn’t realize it was not here. That was not meant to be the cryptic part.

You have a few hurdles and the OAR is the first one and the easiest to knock out, once that is done start working on your application and get the medical physical done.
There are a few here that can talk about the TIS waiver, the concern I have about your waiver is that by the time you would be commissioning it would be around 12.5 years which is 4.5 past PA max, the approved waiver will allow you to be seen by the board and then the board will determine if it will be accepted.
The medical waiver for someone on really depends what it is for (we don't need to know), when you have the commissioning physical done it will go to NRC medical for review, they will determine if the condition will allow you to be commissioned. The common misconception is that if a person is allowed to serve in all aspects as enlisted they can be commissioned, that is not the case. There have been several circumstances where a person was not cleared for commissioning but allowed to continue to serve enlisted. The board does not review medical and this is a call made before the board meets.
It will be work for you but may as well see if you can get to board.

CO just gave me the good news. Prorec-y! So the board chose me, does that mean I'm 100% going to OCS? Confused by the wording. Is the 1520 designator/community guaranteed seats for all the applicants recommended?

As long as you don't screw up you are good.
Edit: and yes the wording is very confusing.

Thank you for the clarification! I just wanted to be sure I didn't need to be recommended AND selected by OCS itself. I know I was medically cleared by OCS. Hopefully nothing goes wrong.

The way it shows and reads in BOL is messed up, you would think after years and the fact they have changed the OCS process they would adjust the wording. I mean people back at NPC change shit all the time that isn't broken, so hello how about fixing something that IS broken!

According to BOL I never even made board lol. It's exciting but I'm not counting my chickens till they're hatched. I still have to get TO OCS and get THROUGH OCS.
