I know this is putting the cart before the horse, but since the navy is trying to load OCS with SNAs does that mean that it is unlikely to get any OHARP after OCS?

Doubtful. The Navy can make as many SNAs as it wants but it can't push them through the pipeline any faster unless they increase capacity. Even with 13 weeks of OHARP the word is to expect a 2+ month wait to class up for API right now.

I'm in a bit of a unique situation here...I've been lurking on these boards through this whole process to gauge how it should be going and you guys are enormously helpful so maybe one of you can help me out...

I applied SNA for the November board, only to find out that my package did not make it in front of the board. No worries, I can wait a bit longer; I tried to make sure through my recruiter that my package did get received for the Jan board.

Lo and behold...phone call from my recruiter Monday, my package did not make it AGAIN. I don't understand how this happens. I'm increasingly frustrated; has this happened to any one else or can anyone offer any advice?

Here are my stats:

Age: 26
Degree: B.S. Mechanical Engineer, 3.6 GPA
ASTB: 66 8/8/8

I would like to say that you were tabled but, with stats like those....might want to get with your OR and lay the hammer down. Your life. Your career. Take control.

Did you clear MEPS? Do you have an N3M letter qualifying you for pilot? I'm not saying your recruiter is at fault (yet), but there might more to it than meets the eye. Last fall, there were a ton of PMII issues and despite proper planning weren't able to get a few applicants to boards. It was corrected and we got them to the following board a few months later.

Cleared MEPS, not sure about the N3M letter. I'm planning on calling OPSO and my recruiter later today but I wasn't sure what specifically I should ask.

Is one worse than the other? I plan on applying again for this board. I understand that I need to submit a resubmission kit asking to be considered again, a new CO recommendation and any new updates between this board and the last.
Final question (for now at least) looking at the excel sheet you posted on a different thread with the updated board dates (27JAN17). It says 06MAR recommended NRD date and 13MAR for NRC application due date. Just a little confused because the last board those dates were the same.
Another reason I'm asking is because we have a change of command coming up between those dates. Just trying to figure out which CO should be signing.
Thank you!
 
So I talked with the recruiter and my age waiver came through, so my packet is submitted. The NRC processor called to make sure I didn't want to apply for Chaplain instead. I said "no" and then I was complimented on my scores, so I have my fingers crossed for this board.

Here are my stats:
Cumulative GPA: 3.1
ASTB: 64 8/7/7
Age: 27, prior service w/age waiver(Army National Guard E-5, Combat Medic with deployment in Afghanistan)
MEPS cleared with LASIK waiver
Bachelors: BS in Interdisciplinary Studies, Liberty University
Masters: MA in Church Ministry, the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

My recruiter called me yesterday at 3pm saying that N3M needs all my pharmacy records since I was 10, and that I should get it done by next week! Has anyone else had to do this? Hopefully it doesn't delay anything and I still make this board.

Don't know the details of your medical history, but yes at times N3M requires additional medical documentation outside of MEPS to make a determination.

Assuming you can get the medical documents by next week and get a PQ N3M letter you should be good to go for the April board.
