So, to clarify: OCEANO results have dropped; other IWC designators have NOT yet dropped.

Are you referring to the IWC as is currently known, i.e., the combination of 1800 (OCEANO), 1810 (CW), 1820 (IP), 1830 (INTEL), and 1840 (CWE) designators? Or are you referring to the previous IWC, now known as the Cryptologic Warfare Community (CWC) - 1810's? Either way, I want to stress that...

1810 is the more STEM-centric of the two designators. It's generally a good idea to have some sort of education or experience related to your desired job. The same logic applies here, e.g., intelligence or foreign policy degree or background. Note that this is not true all of the time though...

I can't say definitively if it will or won't hurt your chances, but I believe your motivations and qualifications for each program are more important. The converse of your worry is a viewpoint shared by many other officers I know: applicants should want to commission as a Naval Officer above...

Results will come when they come. ?

Is this for IWIREP via Teams?

1) Indoor PT sucks. There still isn't an adequate facility for it, so you'll be doing it in the p-way. 2) No. Don't worry about that at all. You've gotta make it through the other three phases first. 3) It depends on how thoroughly the CandiOs check your stuff. I manages to get some Bengay in.

If you'd like to join the group, message me your name and location on Facebook, and I'll add you.

Don't worry about it; there isn't a trace of us out there anymore.

Once upon a time, I was the screaming vocalist in a hardcore band. ;)

If your investigation is not listed as "open", as @LFCFan stated above, try asking your SSO for hard copy forms to fill out, just like we did at RTC. I believe they have them for instances like this, when E-QIP is offline.

06 Novemeber. Convene dates are always on Sunday, and graduations are always on Fridays just short of 12 weeks out.

YES. This is gonna save my life. Razors give me the bumps so bad due to the closeness of the shave, so I've used an electric since getting out of basic. The shave isn't as close, and will probably need to be redone before inspections, but at least I'll look presentable in uniform.

I've used Wells Fargo and Bank of America, and they're both pretty much the devil. NFCU and USAA are great, and each provide different benefits. I have great auto and home insurance policies through USAA, but NFCU has given us better interest rates on car loans. I strongly recommend switching as...

Question: if indoc candidates can receive letters prior to RLP, do you think I'd be able to get a hard-to-open letter filled with glitter to one of them I know? I just think the DIs need to know how fabulous he is.

Your best bet is to follow the unwritten rules and stick to black shoes.

Yeah, I was under the impression that they'd nix any credits you didn't use toward your actual degree, but, since none of my transcripts from schools after had calculated a cumulative GPA, they had to factor in everything. I left college the first time with a 1.9, and, even though I completed my...

Make sure that time spent on your application doesn't take time away from your current job. Being only a PO3, the selection boards aren't going to have much to work with in the way of your evals, so it's in your best interest to make sure the ones you do have/get reflect just how much of a...

I had a top rack in basic, and would swing my legs over the side to jump out of it every morning. The morning after this shot, I did the same, only to have my leg give out. My collapsing to the floor might have drawn more attention if nine other people hadn't done the exact same thing.

From what I've heard, you are encouraged to bring prepared ribbons and medals to OCS, as you will be needing them for graduation and your khaki uniform. Thin ribbons may be at the discretion of our class team, but a few OCS grads I've spoken to said that they has used thin ribbons. I plan on...

For those interested, here's an article explaining changes to the Army's tattoo policy: http://www.armytimes.com/story/military/careers/army/2015/04/10/army-regs-tattoos-uniforms/25576197/ I'm currently Active Duty enlisted with six tattoos, none of which are visible in the Navy Service...

Alright, here are my personal statements. I was selected first-time for IW, and don't necessarily thing these statements were the deciding factor. However, I did clearly state my goals, why I wanted to commission (specifically as an IW), and what my qualifications were: This Honor, Courage...

From a female that recently graduated OCS: your coffin locker (see bed locker) is not inspectable as long as it's locked. If you're organized, you can fit a ton of stuff in there.

Post #3000 for this thread.

Exchanges carry most major brands. If it's anything like bootcamp, that 5-blade razor is your best bet. I just wish they'd let us use electric shavers.

Got my orders this morning, so I am now officially in this class.

I'M OUT! Just got my orders for 16 August 2015. About a year wait in total (if counting from the time I submitted my package). Everyone else here should keep the faith; there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

Don't forget to checkout the class Facebook page!

Not even in yet, and already thinking about leave. ;) On a similar note, does anyone already in remember that AFN commercial where some long-haired guy talks to an AD girl at a coffee shop, and decides to enlist in the Navy because leave is so great? It was great for a chuckle.

I think the fact that people know me by my avatar says that I've been on here too long. I did the sane thing when @Popo Jijo changed his though.

You could always just stare vacantly at this thread and your inbox.

They won't know. IDC boards aren't done in-house.

Lucky dog.

I just keep hitting refresh here, and I don't know why. I think purgatory is finally getting to me.

People here probably won't know if it even happened until results do or don't show up in BUPERS/CIRIMS sometime within the next 45 days (maybe longer).

You should get yours from your recruiter.

Active Duty selectees are supposed to receive them from the CO of their current command (that's where NRC sends it). Is that how you received yours?

I'm envious, dude. I have yet to get my FINSEL/orders.

Damn. I'd DOR on the spot. I actually don't know if or when I'd ever really recover if I lost my son.

It's called Appendix B, and it's strongly recommended that you memorize it word-for-word prior to reporting. As stated above, it can be found on the official Navy OCS website. I'd post the link, but I think it's important for you to go there yourself if you haven't already.

Just out of curiosity, how many people here debating mil-mil BAH are, in fact, mil-mil? I am, and can honestly say that co-lo shouldn't even be considered a factor. When my wife and I negotiated orders two years ago, her detailer told her there wasn't anything he could do; we had approved...

It's never safe to assume anything in the military. You could have a FINSEL and orders in-hand, yet be pushed to a later date a week before you ship. You also have to remember how many other designators are also vying for those limited number of class seats, as well as those folks who need to...

Woah, woah, woah. What's with the salt? Lol.

Done!

Just a reminder to those getting verbals or FINSELs: don't forget to check out the OCS Class Dates board. It's a good opportunity to get to know some of your classmates prior to shipping. And yes, I am plugging this for my new class date.

Checking in for the 16AUG2015 OCS class. This is my second time being pushed, so let's hope this one sticks!

I'm sorry to say that my report date has once again been pushed (16AUG). I'll still see all of you at OCS in passing though, so there's that. Good luck!
