15 SEP2025 SNA/SNFO BOARD

[elariosa95]

Applying for SNFO. Only took the ASTB once. I scored lower than I expected on my OAR but higher than expected on everything else. Do I have a good chance of getting SNFO with these scores?

OAR: 48
AQR: 6
PFAR: 8
FOFAR: 6

GPA: 4.0
Major: BBA Information Systems
Minor: Leadership

You should be fine

Started working on my package since last July, between paperwork and board cancellations I have yet to get to the board. Crossing my fingers on this one. Good luck to all.

For this upcoming board, when would they need you to take a PRT test if you are being considered? I understand the board meets SEPT 15 and trying to see when I should be in town. Would it be sometime in late September/early October? Do they give you only a certain amount of days to take it?

Hello all, just wondering how these scores might stack up. Im really worried about my AQR being too low for SNA going for BDCP. Thanks!

AQR: 6
PFAR: 9

When I got selected back in 2022, my recruiter asked me to do a mock PRT on my own just to see where I was at physically. Before I left for Newport, we did an actual PRT to make sure I would actually pass once I got there.

To answer your question, you might do one right after you get selected, you'll definitely do one before you head out to Rhode Island. This might change based on your recruiter; some people showed up to OCS and immediately failed the IST or BCA

My recruiter made it sound like after they convene. They would email the recruiters who have SNA applicants who are going to be selected to take PRT’s to make sure they are physically adequate before officially selecting them. That’s just how i understood it.

That might be how they do it now, my recruiter just did it before we left

I can tell you right now if I had done it right after the board, I wouldn’t be here rn 😅

If my recruiter told me to do it on my own she would think I was an Olympian 😂

Do you guys think I have a good chance with a 45 5-6-5? I have only taken it once. I was going to wait for the results on this board, and if I don't get accepted, I will retest. I submitted for SNFO as my recruiter told me I couldn't put both SNA and SNFO.

I believe you meet the minimum requirements for an SNA slot. Are you applying for BDCP too? If not, you should have been able to apply to both SNA and SNFO; I don't know why your recruiter would tell you that. For now, I would start focusing on studying for a retest and trying to get a better score in case you don't get picked up on this board.

I applied for BDCP back in May abd didn't get selected. I asked my recruiter if I can apply to both SNA and SNFO for the July board (which is now this board) and he said I can only put down 1. Thank you for response, I have been starting to study again.

Alright gonna throw this at you all and see what you think. Got an OAR score of 54 and 6/6/6 on the ASTB. Got a 2.83 GPA in aviation management and graduated and got my private pilot license with about 120 hrs in the plane. Applying for SNA/SNFO. You all think I have a good chance of getting picked up for either? Recruiter is confident about SNFO but says a toss up for pilot.

BLUF: Apply SNA either way, only put SNFO if you would be happy with it.

I'm assuming you'd rather be SNA over SNFO, if not ignore me. I agree with your recruiter, I think you would almost definitely get picked up for SNFO, but SNA may be a toss up. You have slightly below average scores and GPA for SNA, but i believe they will also take your major and PPL into slight consideration. I'd say it's 50/50 for SNA.

The thing is, I have heard if you want SNA over SNFO, you should only put SNA. From what I understand, the board would be more likely to consider you for SNA if you don't have SNFO on your application, but then you also run the risk of not getting picked up at all and having to wait another 4-6 months to get to OCS.

The most conclusive gouge points to PFAR being the primary factor in getting selected for SNA, as it's an indicator of how likely you are to start and finish training. People who have been on the recruiting side can further elaborate.

I have friends in all stages of training with an assortment of degrees, GPAs, flight experience, etc.
