01JUN26 SNA/SNFO board

So I did look at both and could not find any advantage to applying via ISPP if I already qualify for ISEL. The ISPP PA states "following the URLO ISPP selection panel, NRC will notify selectees and process them to attend OCS" and the Pilot PA states "any officer applicant that meets criteria for immediate selection will bypass the normal Officer Candidate School (OCS) PROREC board pending review from the Officer Community Manager and be processed for shipping to OCS as soon as possible". To me, those both read as "if you apply this way you will be processed for OCS". I could be missing something from a recruiters perspective though.
These are the the key differences between the two. ISPP gets priority, if an AD with 9/9/9 and apply via ISEL and another AD with 5/5/5 applies via ISPP the ISPP person gets priority. If quotas are full ISEL gets put on hold while a person who applies ISPP can end up moving forward as in the below snip N-13 will normally grant additional quotas for ISPP.

If a person is AD ISPP is the better path as it has less stringent score requirements, it has the quicker path, it is the more guaranteed path.

Good info. I did read paragraph F of the URLO ISPP PA but did not know they got priority over ISEL. Both ISEL and ISPP specify that candidates bypass the normal PROREC process.

Correct, in the current situation those sitting waiting for ISEL might not be waiting if they went ISPP.
