Source is being an early summer OCS grad and having a friend wait until the FY rolls over to get a designator he was happy with. He was stashed with all the med holds etc. in the mean time. edit: My initial quote was taken out of context; I was only referring to being NPQ while in Newport. If...

This info changes all the time, but yes, that is correct.

For Navy: Flight physical at OCS, if you fail it you can walk away, or redesignate to whatever you choose assuming you qualify (They will hold you until spots open up, a buddy of mine was held there for 5 months to get what he wanted after NPQ from SNA). At the end of OCS you commission...

Look at the latest threads ("{Month} SNA/SNFO Board") that have passed, user Chop07 usually posts acceptance rates and I believe they have been ~50-80% acceptance for the past few, so your chances are good.

Processor = Who processes all the paperwork your OR supplies him with, makes sure all the documents are there and correctly filled out, etc.

I was given a verbal OCS date that is coming up in <3 weeks; I still have not signed or seen a FINSEL letter nor have I swore in yet. Is this cause for concern or am I stressing over nothing?

Somewhat, I turn 27 in late June

Just got OCS Date of Jan 24, been in purgatory for all of 2 weeks!

Checking in for SNA, pro-rec at latest board, and also age critical. @Chop07 @RUFiO181 @NavyOffRec Do any of you know whether it is acceptable to take an extended (~3-4 week) vacation out of the country (Europe+Asia) prior to leaving (Early January is what I am looking at right now)? I will...

I also had similar scores and was re-applying after previously declining a selection. I would make certain your package made it to board, as barring any weird issues/waivers there should be absolutely no reason for you to not get picked up.

pro-rec y SNA, hopefully will see you all in Newport sooner than later!

Wish my recruiter would use this forum, as I still have not heard anything and neither has he.

Think a lot of people are, I called my recruiter earlier and he has not heard anything as of yet. As someone mentioned different NRD's get results in at different times, so hopefully within the next 1-2 days everyone will hear their result.

what is BOL?

I was under the impression that results normally come out ~2 weeks post board? (at least for civilian applicants) Why would they be out in <1 week?

Just received news from @RUFiO181 that the board has been postponed indefinitely, and will most likely roll into the next board tentatively scheduled for March.

By the time my OCS date rolled around my eyes were (well) out of spec for Naval Aviation, which is stated on their paperwork. I have since then gotten another round of PRK surgery and written a statement discussing this (as well as mentioned it in my motivational statement). Due to my age this...

I sure hope this isn't the case, as I have declined a spot previously and am on the Dec. 2nd board (after another round of surgery)

Thanks mb1685, but was referring towards civi apps, or do you just take your recruiters word for it?

is there any way to verify whether your application was actually received for this upcoming board? @NavyOffRec @RUFiO181

Finally officially in for this board. Likely my only shot due to aging out similar to some of the other applicants, good luck to all! 26 SNA Second time applying (accepted two years ago but rejected due to eyes out of spec, have had more PRK) B.S. Comp Sci/ Civil Engineering ASTB 8/8/8/73...

Is it acceptable to apply for both USMC and USN simultaneously?

I can get ~280 PFT today and might have to consider this as well, will look into it this weekend...any thoughts/gouge you have found in regards to pursuing this? Differences with USN aviation etc?

So they had the board already? I have been waiting for months to apply on October 1st due to my NRD not accepting applications and now it looks like the board has already happened? Similar to other members here I am also close to aging out and this is absolutely devastating if true.

Hah, same situation here. It's never too late to keep trying....until you are 27 : P

Woo! Finally PQ. Like some of the other posters I am also 26 and will only have a few chances to get picked up. Stats: B.S. CS and Engineering 8/7/8/71 ASTB Employer/Coach/Volunteer LOR Second time applying (Was selected before but my eyes were way out of spec by the time my OCS date came...

Held up by N3M for months now hopefully I will be able to submit soon!

1) You should bring it up 2) They will have any civilian records you give them (There is no central repository of medical records and they will not be checking every medical facility worldwide for your records) 3) I very much doubt it but would defer this to someone more knowledgeable, perhaps...

I just noticed my join date of Oct 7 2011, almost 4 years ago. Damn.

Checking in. Stats: Applying for SNA only Age 26, non-prior (June b-day) ASTB: 8/7/8 71 B.S. Civil Engineering, B.S. Computer Science (2.92 GPA) LORs: Former employers / coaches Second time applying Some volunteer experience (Volunteer coach for ~1.5 years) Finally back in on this. I...

What is the recommended course of action for applicants in an NRD which is not submitting apps due to meeting its own goaling standards.

Not sure how to determine NRD but both me and my recruiter are located just outside Chicago

This is inline with what my recruiter has said. Where we differ is whether or not they are accepting more packets for those boards, as I have been told that while their may be more boards all packets for those boards have already been submitted

My recruiter has informed me that they are not able to send any more packages to the selection boards until October, is this true? I have my medical scheduled and am closing up everything in my packet (have ASTB taken, working on LoR etc and will be ready by June with everything), so this board...

I have done some searching, however the documentation shows that rolling acceptances are being taken, the forums show february/april boards, and recruiters (three different ones) have told me to either call back in october or that they can start the app with me but i will not get accepted until Oct

Is this correct? I just learned from my recruiter that they are no longer accepting any more applications until end of FY (Oct '15). Has anyone heard similar?

Any word on when the next board is coming up? I am in a similar situation.

Any word on when the next board will be? I am finally coming up on 6 months (again) post surgery and will be hitting the age limit sooner rather than later. Grats to all selectees.

So does this mean this board is officially closed and done? (for those of us who have not applied yet)

As the topic states, looking for some input on this. From what I have gathered, -long hours (consistently >40hr weeks) -some politicking involved Any insight appreciated

The first step is correct spelling, especially when in the title...

If you are going to be posting completely irrelevant personal details on a forum don't get your panties in a knot if someone disagrees with them.

I went about a month ago

Just heard back that I failed MEPS depth perception test. My recruiter is checking if there is anyway to get around this; if anyone has any info it is much appreciated.

My recruiter (who has proven to be extremely knowledgeable and honest), has said that in the past he has had minority and female applicants who were selected only for that reason. (i.e. if they were white males they would have 0 chance). Currently it looks like they are accepting anyone who...

It was above the 'competitive'; I wanna say 7/7/8/72 or somewhere about there

I was selected with a gpa <3.0
