    Yes you can bring one I brought a battery powered one that doesn't charge but you do have plugs, however you would have to charge it at night and stache the charger during the day.

    OCS Survival Guide

    I recently graduated from OCS and received endless amounts of questions about it. To help I started creating a video series on YouTube. If you would like to check it out the link is below. Hopefully they help you on your OCS journey.

    OCS 18 SEP 17 | IWC Board

    That is all well and good and yes you make a valid and strong point, however it doesn't matter. You are already in the Navy so you should already know that the Navy doesn't really care if the system as a whole is fair to one specific individual they care if it fair to the majority. GPA is a...

    Must be if you graduate after October first, not if you start after October first you wear type III's. Makes sense with the navy's fiscal year.

    Also just waiting on my FINSEL and orders. Was originally told I could be going to the 06 AUG 17 class but now it is looking like 27 AUG 17. Need to stop being impatient ;), I think Mr. Celestin is getting a bit annoyed with me ha. That being said I believe the 06 AUG Class is officially full...

    Check-In #2. this time for the IWC board. PROREC: Y for Cryptologic Warfare :D. Was told by my command and OCM that I should be getting my class date very soon. Hopefully some of us will get the chance to meet at OCS in person!

    That is what I figured. Sounds like its a bit of a formality just to make sure nothing serious has happened since you got your clearance.
  17. Ronin88

    12 JUN 17 IWC Board

    Something else I think. The process may be different for people who already have a clearance.

    there is a silver lining here. If you go after 01 OCT 17 then you will get the NWU type III instead of type I which means you wont have to buy them down the road and waste your money on the type I now.

    for the SWO board that just happened the results came out the following week. Active Duty boardees seemed to get results on the following Monday or Tuesday, and civilian boardees seemed to get results on Wednesday or later from their ORs.

    Tattoos

    I have a full chest piece and 3/4 sleeves on both arms plus some work on my back and traps. I was still accepted into OCS, though I am a prior but the rules are the same for both sides of the house. The new Policy should make life easy for most people with tattoos.

    I still haven't been able to see my results in BOL, and neither has my command. The only reason I know I was PROREC: Y was because I called up Mr. Ted Williams the Fleet OCS Processor. He also emailed me after stating the same thing. Not sure how this is going to effect me in the future when its...

    Same here my school did not grade on a curve. I found the OAR pretty rough too I think the only thing that got me through was the physics section. Gotta love those adaptive tests, you know right away if you got the last question right because all of a sudden the next question would be easier or...

    15 May 2017 SWO Board

    I hope that is not the case I would really like to be considered for both CW and SWO. They would be losing a lot of excellent candidates if they don't allow people to put SWO as their number 2. I guess we will see how it goes, but I did submit the age waiver and everything else they asked for in...

    15 May 2017 SWO Board

    I submitted my package on thursday and heard back today after I emaled to confirm they had recieved it. I should be good now I made te corrections they asked for and sent in the age waiver so we will see how it goes.

    So, I was contacted today by a Mr. Williams about a few corrections that needed to be made to my package by end of business today and thanks to my chain of command we were able to complete all of the required tasks.

    I think that may be the plan depending on how it goes. I will stay cautiously optimistic as I always do. Who knows if I end up SWO I may love it or I may shoot for a Lat Transfer down the road. That or maybe my luck will hold and I will get to stay a Crypto. Either way the goal is butter bars on...

    12 JUN 17 IWC Board

    Got it that is really excellent advice. Thank you again for your insight and your guidance. I will take what you say to heart and apply it to my package. I meet with my CO tomorrow for my last signature and then my package will be sent out the same day.

    Call my dumb but, I am still going to give CW a shot, I don't think I could forgive myself if I didn't at least try once. That being said I also don't have much choice my interviews for the IWC were all 1810's. Maybe I will get lucky, maybe I will have to re-apply. Correct me if I am wrong but...

    Checking in! First time applying to OCS, I have been working on my package for months! I have been told by my command I have a really good shot at getting picked up, hopefully the board members agree. Trying not to get my hopes up too much just in case I need to submit again. Good luck to everyone!

    15 May 2017 SWO Board

    Checking in. This is my first time applying and I hope to get my package in on this board! Not sure if SWO is in my direct future though as it is my 3rd choice, but I hope the board will still consider me. Also submitting for the JUN 17 IWC board. Good luck to everyone!

    So this is a bit of a random question and I apologize if I am nuking this but, on my fleet applicant check list it states that I am required to interview with a minimum of 3 officers, one from each of my desired designators. So I am applying for SWO-CW, does this mean I need to find an Officer...

    This is awesome thank you, looks like I am extremely competitive GPA wise and still in the running with my OAR. It also looks like already being a part of the community might give me a leg up as they seem to take CTs fairly frequently. That being said with these numbers maybe I should apply for...

    1,001 questions about the ASTB (post your scores & ask your questions here!)

    Just finished taking my OAR a few hours ago! I feel like I did fairly well, I got a 54 which is higher than average and competitive, this combined with my GPA and previous experience will hopefully be enough to get me selected for OCS and the IW program, but we will see. If anyone could point me...
