Hey everyone, my name is Nate and I also just received verbal that I will be joining this class! I'm 25, 2 years experience as a civil engineer working for heavy Civil contractor and spent 1.5 years working on a project at Naval Air Station Whiting Field. Going in for CEC, graduated in 2014 with...

Just got my FINSEL and date, took about 5 months.

Just wanted to start a thread for those that have been assigned OCS Mar. 12. I'm not sure if anyone has already done this or not, and if so, please direct me to that thread!

Yeah my accessions officer called yesterday and asked if I would be ready for the NOV 13 class, that's 2.5 weeks after I got my call from recruiter that I was PROREC Y. Unfortunately I have obligations until end of DEC. All the research I have done suggests most people don't get their class date...

Checking in from October CEC board, got the PROREC Y from recruiter yesterday. Sending him fingerprints today then starts the waiting game on receiving OCS date.

Just received the good news from my recruiter!

Just got the good news from my recruiter, anyone else receive any news??

Perfect, thanks for the info

I haven't been to a recruiter yet. I am caught up with work right now but as soon as it slows down a bit I will go talk. I have applied to CEC once before (over a year ago, straight out of school with little experience and no EIT) and didn't get accepted. Since then I have gained over a year of...

Thanks for the response. I have a civil engineering degree and would put CEC first but honestly I'm open to either one. I just want to receive my commission and serve, I believe I'm more than capable of excelling in both programs. Thanks again wink

Can you apply to multiple programs at once? In my situation, I would like to apply to CEC and SWO. Is that frowned upon by the individual boards or is it no problem? Thanks

Thanks for the help. I'm very interested in working with the Seabees rather than Public works or contract management. I'm in great physical shape and prefer working in a "boots on the ground" type of role. I've actually considered marine corps combat engineer officer as well although I don't...

I haven't yet, but plan on it soon

Thanks for your response. I would love to go for my Masters but not sure if I can afford it at the moment. I'll definitely look into it. As another option, would I qualify for any other officer programs? I'm open to any of them other than NUPOC, it doesn't really interest me.

Thanks for the info

Okay thanks for the info. Is Air Force CE easier to get into or are they relatively the same?

Yes I do

Okay I gotcha. I realize my GPA wasn't great and I would be able to explain the reasons why to the board. However, please correct me if I'm wrong, aren't most applicants generally right out of school with limited experience? Especially experience working directly for NAVFAC. I feel as if that...

I am 24 years old and haven't taken the OAR yet. I'm bogged down with the project right now but as soon as it slows a bit I plan on starting my application process. I've talked with the Quality Assurance guy for the project at NAVFAC and he said it would be best to contact some at CECOS and have...

I'm a graduate of the University of Alabama (2014) with a degree in Civil Engineering. I finished with a GPA of 2.981 and took a job with a construction company than does DOD contracts. I'm currently working at Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Milton, Florida completely overhauling their...
