31OCT22 SNA/SNFO BOARD

FormerRecruitingGuru

Making Recruiting Great Again
The board itself has to follow the PA, unless there is something that @FormerRecruitingGuru knows I believe they would be required to reject the ISPP, it is possible they could slide you over to the regular process, you have a good PFAR and that is what matters, PFA doesn't matter, LOR's don't matter, and recommendations don't matter.

The pull an admiral not in CNRC has with CNRC is almost nil, I have seen guys with recommendations from all levels of admirals get denied because they didn't meet the PA or weren't the best qualified.

It's likely the "error" will be caught by the board or CNRC simply moved the package to the regular OCS queue. No program specific waivers for URLO ISPP (I.e. GPA, age, ASTB, etc.).

And here I am actually thinking i have a decent shot at something.

I’ll just go back to expecting to be not selected.

Oh nice! Who was your FLAG? How does your stuff stack up?


Mine was RADM Meier.
RADM Meier was my flag officer and he didn't endorse my package, because he said he didn't want to give me an unfair advantage......strange that he said that for mine but endorsed your package....somethings not adding up lol. Not trying to take anything from you though.... congratulations to you

I'm not sure how your process went. Honestly I feel like I got very lucky.

What was the context? How did your process go? Maybe I can shed some light. I simply worked REALLY hard the past year and a half at the command, and asked my CoC for the meeting. He granted the meeting request, I got 30 mins with him and completely killed the interview/discussion I had with him. He was great to speak with, very nice and straightforward. He made no promises and I received the recommendation a few days later.

I wasn't able to receive an interview from him. I sent my letter to him and my AO said he denied it because he didn't want to give me an unfair advantage for the board. That's all I really know.
My scores are 50 6/8/7

Perhaps there’s misunderstanding and the ask was for an endorsement for a regular OCS package instead of URLO ISPP?

Also, have you gotten your chain of command / CO/XO involved?

I talked to him this morning. He straight up said “and I will tell you this, sna/nfo board are subject to cancellation” obviously nothin new that we don’t already know but also wasn’t the reason for my call

Did he say whether or not your package was accepted?

Who is this "Mr. Paul" you speak of? I wish they wouldn't say stuff like that. What does low mean to them? 20 people? 75? 100? lol
