Whatever you do, do NOT train to the minimum prior to OCS. Shoot much higher. If your max is the minimum, you WILL fail IST on Day 3. Your life will be turned upside down, you'll not be sleeping normal, then early Wednesday morning you will be held to the standard and expected to meet it. If you...

Negative. 26 recruiting districts in the nation and 26 different ways of doing things. It's different with those going to OCS because you normally haven't signed a contract until just prior to leaving unlike the enlisted side where you do that up front then sit in the delayed entry program. Or...

There have been so many issues with officer candidates showing up to OCS UNprepared physically. On Wednesday of Week 1, you will be administered the IST (Initial Strength Test). From the OCS website: "...you will be required to pass each portion of the Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) with a...

There is no way to know. Hurry up and wait... And no, those recruiters in the field get zero insight into the OCS planning. We only find out once you are assigned and the FINSEL is issued.

Results are out and posted to the internal Navy Recruiting SharePoint site. Some stats for your review: 26 selects. 136 total to board. 19.1% selection rate. Of the 26 selects, 6 are fleet sailors. Of the 136, 38 are fleet applicants. 15.6% of fleet applicants were selected. A fleet applicant...

I know that the character references ARE read...sometimes. In fact, I had a SWO non-select with a 50+ OAR score and 3.8 GPA...no waivers. I am sure it was due to the lackluster character references that rated him average nearly all the time or "not observed." I will agree that at the aviation...

Correct. Confirmed with the FY18 Schedule. Class 03-18. Convene 27Aug2017. Graduate 17Nov2017. Just in time for turkey.

It can but in your case, my opinion is that it won't. Over 10 years, I believe it starts to raise more skepticism as you are a risk to punch out at 20 thereby worsening the deficit at the LCDR level that has existed for years. You can also be clear in your motivational statement that you intend...

IWC Board results were out before Christmas, posted to our internal Sharepoint for the entire recruiting "nation" to see. We made our good/bad calls immediately and have moved on. It is amazing to me that some of you sit waiting for results. If you're one of them, private message me your...

Yes, they look at the APSR at the board. As far as what they look at, they will look at your evals but they will most certainly look at your resume for what you're doing NOW in terms of leadership and what you're doing in your career field that aligns with the Supply Corps. Both the HR and...

Aaron, I haven't been on here for awhile but I thought I'd jump in and give you some feedback and also some realistic expectations: - You're a good age and years of service for the Supply Corps, if in fact that is what you are applying to. I would also encourage you to apply for HR DCO. - Your...

Kelsey, not much of anything happens between finding out you were PROREC-Y and the FINSEL. Sometimes, the OCS date is released in the interim but more times as of late, that comes in conjunction with the FINSEL itself because the date is on the FINSEL. There is no hard cut procedure here and...

I don't think a lot of your concerns are warranted. Many Supply Corps officers are small business owners and entrepreneurs. They get it. On your resume, just be sure to include quantifiable things like you mentioned here. What you manage...budget numbers, for example. People...how many and doing...

Nope...but I pointed him in the right direction. I'm in the Great Lakes region but he's in Beantown.

I think you're a great candidate for the following reasons: 1. experience in leadership with quantifiable numbers ... be sure your resume points that out. 2. Contracting: that's a BIG plus in our community 3. MBA 4. Still young with plenty of time to serve 5. non-prior service so no risk of...

Are you a DCO select? I have one for Supply Corps DCO.

Latest and greatest.

I consider this Required Reading for all of my applicants who are selected. Read it front to back. Most recently updated this week from a recent OCS grad.

Yes, the results are out but many recruiters probably don't know where to find them. If not, feel free to tell them to find the N319 SharePoint site. They are posted there. Board stats: 173 to board 15 selected 158 non-select 8.67% selection rate

I don't think he was referring to Cyber Warfare Engineer. IW was recently renamed to CW (cryptologic warfare officer)...that's what he is referring to.

It sounds like you may have looked at the board gouge I shared yesterday from https://www.facebook.com/Pers472. If not, go there and look through their April 15th post. As for your competitiveness, your masters degree doesn't speak to anything in the IWC at all. If anything, it speaks to Supply...

BOARD STATISTICS When we got word late last week that another Pilot/NFO board was already slated for July (a whole month early and only 2 months after this board), it was clear that the May board didn't get what they wanted. These results confirm that suspicion. If you believe that an only...

Want to know what the March 2016 board did? Demographics, age, OAR score, degree type, etc.? It's public and posted on the PERS 472 Facebook page. It was posted on April 15th. Priceless gouge for applicants and recruiters alike. https://www.facebook.com/Pers472

I took your question back to our recent grad and he updated the gouge document. The newest version is attached here.

I gave him a call and as long as they can't be seen in PT gear, they will work. Black or white are the requirements. No pink or red!

May 2016 update, hot off the press.

Attached is the latest and greatest OCS Survivors Guide. Recommend reading cover to cover in conjunction with the OCS website. Many thanks to a recent April 15th graduate who is back here on OHARP duty who went through it and provided any necessary updates. Congrats on your selection!

I advise applicants to make their motivational statements personal and WHY they want to serve, lead and be a Naval Officer. With that, I tell them to keep their audience in mind and sometimes it's actual Suppos down the street at PERS or the IWC commanders...or a smattering of whomever at the...

This is so heavily dependent on region leadership in the Supply world. They all have jobs, etc. and this is often not possible until centered around a NOSC and several are there. Also to note, they are shying more and more away from Skype and Facetime interviews. With only 20 getting selected...

Where are you in the country? As for a CAPT interview, it DOES matter. Ideally, you should get at least one. This is coming straight from the Senior Supply Officers in the community.

If you are a recruiter, this is absolutely not the place to officially notify applicants.

That would be the date for the Pilot/NFO board.

Wow. #unplugged

Board Stats 219 to board (200 from NRDs, 19 from fleet) SELECT: 78 and 8 for total of 86. Non-Select: 122 and 11 for total of 133. Overall Selection Rate: 39.27% This is lower than the average 50 +/- 5%. My personal, unofficial opinion is that we won't see a board for several months now and...

Depends on your recruiter. They are posted for ALL recruiters to see. Stats forthcoming but they are low as expected.

Yes. We don't have all the answers for why the Mother Ship does what it does...but they will remove ANY mention of SWO in a new kit. Period. Same for Supply.

I will cut to the chase. You don't have a graduate degree or even working towards one and you have a very low GPA. The board will select 20 this year from a field of, I'm guessing, around 200. I would say you have pretty much no chance of selection. I would recommend getting your MBA or another...

You know there is already a thread for this, right?

You are correct. Also to note: there is often a delay at colleges for when the transcripts actually say "degree conferred." Often, final grades are posted before this happens. It's a good practice to ask the registrar what day that degrees will be posted to transcripts and mark that on your...

Get this, @NavyOffRec ... for @that1dude I checked his record. He is actually PRO BOARD in the system...crazy. He only found out about the denied waiver by making a call. It should've never gone PRO BOARD with that being the case. Regardless, he didn't make it to board because of missing the...

I am sorry for your bad experience here. However, it is not entirely accurate. I have an applicant with prior service, was granted a waiver PRIOR to the board by the Supply community and was selected. It is NOT true that they did not consider waivers. However, if you are already too old and...

I fear I made a mistake in carrying on conversations/posts between Reserve and Active discussions here on AW. For reserve applications, INTERVIEWS are huge and required. For the active application, we don't do them at all. Character references only but any of those written by active supply...

Several senior officers will do Skype or Facetime. We've had a lot of luck with that and they then consider it an "in-person" interview.
