What's stopping from sending 3 individual applications to 3 different boards with each respective one as the top choice?

That is a question I dont know the answer, but there’s probably some opnavinst against it and more than likely when it gets sent to nstc they will cross-verify.

You can only have one application in at any one time but on the APSR you can list multiple choices. If I remember correctly when the info is put into the computer it only allows for one APSR at a time.

My recruiter has not responded to any of my messages for 2 weeks. I have texted him a few times just asking what next steps are because I am worried I am going to need a waiver and want to get medical going but he has just not even opened the last set of documents I sent him 2 weeks ago. Should I be worried?

Has anyone seen my wingman?
Hey all, I’m back. I’m cleared from all my stuff and good to go. Though I’ve been wondering what to do regarding aviator vs flight officer (AEDO being my 3rd choice). Being an aviator would be nice because you’d be flying the craft. But from what I’ve read, around 50% of the naval Air Force is heli’s- which in unsure about. I’m a fixed wing guy. My recruiter said that it might be better to put flight officer as my first choice because they’ll likely pick me up and get me moving faster. Flight officer sounds good because I’m a very technical guy and my engineering experience could come in handy. The job sounds cool, I could transfer to pilot if I really wanted, and they’re more for fixed wing.

You can’t just transfer. The Navy tells you what to do once you hit OCS, thats all to it. At Pensacola you will be put on a track to follow for your training billet, thats it. AMDO is very selective, but if you have an engineering education background, you will be more competitive.

Yeah I understand that. Transferring is difficult from what I’ve heard. But there’s still a possibility, which is assuring.

Dude, call. Texting isn't the only way to reach out to someone.

The transferring from NFO to Pilot has been brought up before, and yes there is a chance, there is a chance for just about everything in life, but you need to hope everything lines up just right.
You should put the designator down you are wanting to do for your career, the other thing is your FOFAR is a 5 which is the minimum those aren't great odds, you have better odds with SNA as your PFAR is 7.

I have gotten a lot of conflicting answers to this question, but what happens after graduating OCS? Do you go back home and wait until you get orders? Will I head straight to Pensacola and wait until I start NAMI/flight school? I know there has often been a long wait between ocs and flight school but I have also seen that it can start right away. I am just trying to get an idea of the possible timelines.

Just like as the varying answers say, it depends.
