Utilizing your IT experience and Navy cool vouchers to get some certifications and strengthen your MCWO package could be beneficial. Although I was told MCWO isn't accepting any waivers at this time by CDR Ball (MCWO OCM). I'm not sure if that's going to be the normal moving forward, though.

IWC is generally pretty hard on people with waivers, it wouldn't surprise me if MCWO keeps passing on people with waivers should they keep getting well qualified candidates that don't need waivers.

So you understand the process the waiver allows you to go to board, the board itself still has to accept the waiver, they also accept waivers in limited numbers.
The thing you have going for you is your enlisted experience in IT.

Great insights, all! Don't want to tie you down with too many questions, but in your experience working with applicants, how far-reaching was that inclination to limit the number of waivers accepted? Did it apply to just waivers for criteria specifically outlined in the program authorization (GPA, OAR, TIS, etc.), or to any kind of waiver, full-stop? I’m thinking here more in terms of RE-Code waivers (which I know is pretty broad on its face, considering the number of different reasons folks might have separated from service). But if an applicant, say, submits a package with a RE-Code waiver because they separated a few weeks early to attend a civilian school (still honorably discharged), do you think the board would regard that waiver similarly to waivers for things like GPA, OAR score, etc.?
Does this stand for BDCP IP applicants as well?
Does this mean they were not on the list, or even people who were in the list?
Where did you hear this from?

Seems like it does but you'd have to check with your recruiter to confirm.
What do you mean?
Got a text and email from my recruiter this morning.

Asked my recruiter this morning and he said it was CW that isn’t getting looks. Is it possible your recruiter was referring to your application for ISEL?

No, I only submitted for IP this time. The email I received said IP specifically was not looked at as a last minute change.

CW wasn't on this board. Only what is on the proboard schedule. Obviously, this is just a place holder so no one really knows.
I was on the list for the June board. Does this mean that my application was considered, or it may still be pushed to August?

This would be a question for your recruiter who can then reach other to the OCM to find out more info
Is this good news for fleet applicants? I didn't know this was a thing
