FY17 OCEANO, FY18/FY19/FY20 IP Applicant
Ouch. Although I was hoping, I wasn't exactly expecting to get selected the first time. I really thought I had a strong enough package to be an alternate though. ML_METOC, did you make it? I don't know your name, just your username lol. Congrats to everyone who got selected!

I got selected. Honestly was really shocked. Caught me way off guard this morning as I was really busy. Congrats to everyone else that made it. It was a long process and very hard work put in by everyone. Like said above, thank the people that helped you, that's what I'm going to do now.

So surreal to see my name on that list. Thanks to everyone here for the assistance and distractions while waiting for the results. After the last time I wasn't selected I thought I would never have another chance at this program. So thankful for all the help over the years from people on this site and out in the fleet. If you weren't selected, NEVER GIVE UP! Keep working towards your goal and as I said earlier, try to address any area you can improve upon, whether it be SAT scores, college courses, volunteer work, or leadership positions. I am truly humbled and shocked by my selection and look forward to seeing you all on future lists!
With just two Core and three aviation selects this year, this ought to reinforce with those Sailors dreaming of flying gray jets that STA-21 is not your best bet at getting commissioned as a 13XX. My congrats to all the selectees, but particularly those with a future in Naval Aviation, because let's face it... all the nuke selectees are going to be miserable. 
If any of you want to discuss your future and what your transition will be like with someone who was STA selected in FY98 and now in a TACAIR front office, feel free to PM me.

Hey I was selected for pilot this year. Sorry for taking so long to reply I have been busy this weekend. This was my third time applying and I can say that I am honored and humbled to have been selected. I will make a dropbox with my package in it for you and anyone else to review.
Like it has been said before keep you head up for those of you who did not get selected and keep working towards your goal. Hard work and dedication will pay off.
Congrats to all of those that were selected, got to finish up a few things and I will see everyone at NSI.
If anyone has any questions about my package please let me know.

How much time have people got in the past between checking out of their command and going to NSI? I'm trying to figure out the best time to list my house and when to move my family.

Yeah, I am curious about this as well. In the NAVADMIN it said that we should expect to start NSI no later than February 13th, so that leaves about a month between the completion of that and the start of any summer term courses. It would be awesome if we get some time off in between.
Time off? You're going to school. There will be plenty of time off. If you use all 3 years, it'll be the easiest three years you have in the Navy.

What I meant was time available to take leave. From what I have heard we still have to report every day and must take leave similar to the fleet. I'm not sure if it will be the easiest three years though, a EE degree isn't what I would call easy.
Why get an EE degree then?

More money after I retire from the Navy, I like a challenge, and I am 2/3 of the way done.
