I was not notified unfortunately, pretty sure I submitted just after everyone heard back

Also ISEL depends on spots right. They can only immediately select for people if there's available seats. So if there are no FY27 slots left then you are getting selected for FY28. But i'd ask your recruiter to get a gauge on what the quotas are looking like to get a better understanding of what your timeline may look like.

Yeah at this point I figured selection is based on FY28, I could care less when the OCS date is, I just want to get that Pro-Rec Y update hahahaha, thank you for the insight

Yeah, I was SWO ISEL so it was a bit quicker turnaround for me but that's the info my recruiter told me. It should still apply to SNA ISEL just a little trickier with the backlog of applicants they have. Wishing you good luck with everything.

Yeah the backlog is honestly insane, I'm hoping Ive put myself at the top of I-SEL kit's with my scores and having my pilots license but at this point idek with how bad the backlog is. Hopefully some good news will come my way sometime soon. Thank you and good luck to you with your journey. I might shoot you a DM as I have a buddy who's looking to go SWO route.
 
For I-SEL, or I guess any board in general-do they send people to OCS in the order in which they were accepted, or will they move candidates around based on scores? Kind of in the same boat...9/9/9 and a pilot's license and I'm kinda hoping that could move me up the list.

From my knowledge, for ISEL it's just the order your package was reviewed/accepted. The spots are filled chronologically based on availability.

For the regular board there's a few more nuances. For example, if someone is near the age limit or has an age waiver- they will get priority in receiving an OCS date. For boards, like supply they were assigning dates alphabetically by last name. Then some applicants like BDCP can't ship until they graduate. Tons of different scenarios.
 
Understood! So, of you were to guess, if I submit my ISEL paperwork in the middle of March, when would I ship? I know it's impossible to tell and it's pretty hectic right now. I'm just looking for a very general time frame.

I have no clue what the SNA accessions pipeline looks like right now so I can't gauge it. But if you're waiting until Next March you probably wouldn't get an OCS date until end of the early fall or winter of 2027.

I also cant speak to the SNA accession timeline, unfortunately I'm in the same boat. But the navy already met their quotas for SNA civilian apps for FY27, you'd be looking to get selected for FY28 which means earliest OCS date would be October of 2027

FY28 ship dates start July 2027. Because by the time you graduate you will commission Oct 2027 which is start of the new FY.

That's a really good point. I didn't think about that either. I know there is a list out there you can elect to go on, if somebody drops off or backs out last minute you can replace them. However, if the first board for FY28 is in May and the first ship dates are Jul that probably won't save much time either.

Yeah im a SWO ISEL who was selected first week of Oct. I am not shipping until March 2027. They threw me into the same OCS Class as SWO selects from the August board. So i'm disappointed I have to wait 5 months. I'm on the standby list but i'm not counting on it. I've heard success stories about rolling in earlier but it's pretty much pure luck.
