01JUN26 SNA/SNFO board

I’m assuming everyone is “competing” for the same spots as in there are only so many to give out, but as to directly competing with each other I think it makes sense to be within each applicant pool type so off the street will be going up against off the street apps and BDCP vs BDCP but tbh ISEL and ISPP sounds like they get the spots regardless lol so no competition between themselves

Yes you are pretty much right about that. The navy only has so many billets for the job to fill. I’m getting out of my swim lane here , but I’m pretty sure the navy allots a certain amount of billets to OCS guys, ROTC, and then naval academy grads. So ocs applicants are competing against other OCS applicants. Street or fleet.

I could be wrong about all that. The recruiter mods in here would know that better than me.

Ok that’s what I assumed. Figured it was USNA, NROTC, and OCS all separated by some sort of quota per commissioning source.

The navy divides quotas among those 3 commissioning sources. You are not competing with NROTC and USNA by applying to OCS.

Yes, that was how I understood it. I was just curious if the Navy further broke it down within OCS applicants, but rabsix’s explanation cleared that up.

Added a little bit more flair to the spreadsheet

Are you able to confirm or deny if NRC processes applications individually, or if they work in batches in the same way the OCM seems to? In other words, would we expect everyone in the batch to hear results simultaneously, or might some applicants hear back before others?

The processors will review applications as they come in to a point, if it is close to a deadline/board they will prioritize those who are in a board starting soon. If ISPP or ISEL they have no reason to not process as they come in.

 

[exNavyOffRec]

Results won’t be out until 2-8 weeks after June 1st.

So you are aware the 2-8 weeks is the standard answer that has been given for decades, it now tends to be closer to the longer time now since they changed the process and attach OCS dates to the results.

Thank you for clearing that up!
