    Thanks group for your input and confirmations. This is what I was expecting, so no worries. I’ll just bust ass and continue my training; given my age the airlines seem to make the most logical path. Thanks again everyone.

    Alright so first I know this post is going to get a lot of hate and that is 100% warranted and unfortunately welcome... So 2016 I got accepted as an NFO, graduated OCS with no issues January 2017. I was absolutely unhappy being a back seater, no offense just not for me. Got out in March 2018...

    Nice, yeah the wife and I looked at the hotels but they were around 300 /night and the Navy lodge was already booked up. Ended up finding a home for rent for 150/night! There's a steak house that seems like it would suffice for the meet up; North End Steakhouse. https://goo.gl/5EB7uq

    So tbh I'm not positive if he was my processor or what, but when I said processor I was referring to: when I did my security clearance and finger prints it was a guy different from my recruiter and he seemed to have a little more intel than my recruiter did, so I stayed in contact with him also...

    Is there a lot of May board people still in this forum waiting too? Is it odd there's a lot of July people getting their finsels right away? @onlycraigdarlin The person above you is from the July board too it looks like.

    He said soon; so I know there's the 9/11 date and an early Oct one. If I had to guess I would say we get the Oct date. What OR station did you go to? The one in North Aurora?

    Much appreciated. Googling and still looking. Everything I seem to turn up states, sna or nfo are selected for what they will be flying for the next session of training/pipeline. I'm just trying to see if the sna or nfo can put in a preference. edit- So judging from this post is based off how...

    Land based vs Carrier based aviation

    Hey everyone I was recently selected for NFO and I have a general question that I can not seem to find a solid answer on. After OCS and API does an NFO or SNA get to choose the platform they want to fly? I know obliviously the needs of the Navy come first but does the candidate get to put...

    It seems to be about 5-6 months to OCS from the date of being selected. I'm hoping we get an early Sept board, then maybe get out of OCS before Christmas.

    The 368's suck. That is the only reason I did not make the last SNA/NFO board in time. Best of luck. My suggestion is keep on top of your OR as much as possible.
