Ha, don't I know it; the self-inflicted nature of my DQ is all too apparent...never actually got to MEPS, was trying to get it scheduled before they scratched my nomination. I only found out later that I wasn't necessarily diagnosed (asking my parents), and neither I or them are completely...

Sorry to hear about that guys. Small consolation but you've got one less competitor, most likely. I got held up before being sent to MEPS because, in a questionable flourish of honesty on the forms, I hearkened back to my youth when my parents said I had asthma (maybe never diagnosed). No...

Technically he's off this week (holiday) and yet I'm still emailing him repeatedly, so, yeah, I'm being persistently annoying, but was just going for a little independent verification. He didn't seem too concerned about the deadline but I had thought he said it was August...and I'm out for two...

Question for the recruiters...(I have a local OR but he's been slammed lately and I'm trying to limit my attempts to be the "squeaky wheel")...when do I need to have all my forms, interviews, medical, etc together for submission this year? As I recall the deadline was mid-late August, just want...

I-am-not-a-lawyer/recruiter disclaimer, but I would wager you have a steep climb to apply for reserve officer...the direct commission reserve path requires a lot of experience and is very competitive. Active duty / OCS might be an option once you have your degree, though, if you're willing to...

Bear in mind, that PA still lists what I understand to be the older training path....2 week DCOIC, 3 week IDBC and 1 week Leadership in Dam Neck, then the 8 week (not 20 week) IPBC in Pensacola. So I wouldn't take that as gospel, maybe just not updated yet...

Yes sir, technically my start date is this Thursday, but they opened access to the courseware so I've already finished the first class on Cyberwarfare. Just have to write up the papers (hopefully next weekend) and its on to the next class.

CISSP exam in the can, that's a fun one for sure... Going to probably go for the CEH (ethical hacking) in the next couple of months...not necessarily a particularly desirable certification (at least in comparison to CISSP) but it's part of my coursework for my masters, anyway.

No sir. (understand the misunderstanding, my eyes skipped over the "16 years experience in the IC"). That's not greatly in my favor, I know, but taking a swing at it nonetheless.

Sounds like we've got a lot of the same experience...I'm starting my masters Jun 1 in cybersecurity, hoping to have it wrapped up in 1yr, so it'll be nice and shiny for next year, assuming I don't get selected FY18. I was originally going for a IT Mgmt masters but the courses were, well, much...

Per the 2015 dated IP PA, it lists these: 2 week DCOIC (Newport) 3 week Information Dominance Basic Course (Dam Neck) 1 week Officer Leadership Course (Dam Neck) 8 week IP Basic (Pensacola) I asked my OR and he had the same (2015) PA, and was unaware of any changes. But I did see that article...

Thanks very much!!! I've been hunting for that for a while now myself. Do you know if it is the latest version, because it doesn't reference the 20wk IP Basic (active duty version) for reservists in it...not sure if they have updated the doc to reflect that yet?

I don't think my OR has mentioned that to me yet but I heard about it in December (before I even talked to a recruiter) from my O6 contact who is in the 182x community. I wonder if its an all-at-once sort of thing or if you can piecemeal it a bit...as I recall he said it had to be done in the...

I will say, it's rather a good thing for the country so many Fortune 500 CTOs, cybersecurity firm founders, etc. are as interested in giving up their weekends and trading substantial remuneration for ensign pay! All joking aside, I understand my own motivation (not many of my peers really do...

Just curious...do you see a variance on the masters degree stuff in between applicants for IP/1825 vs Intel? I would expect a higher emphasis on the formal education for the latter, that would make more sense just given my (admittedly ignorant) perception of the roles/communities. 15 years in...

Anyone know of a publicly available place to download a copy of the IWC/DCO Program Authorization? If my searches have it right, PA 231, right? I've found the doc available for other communities ie., HR, just not for IWC...

Grabbed my Security+ certification last night. Scored higher than I thought...I spent most of the test arguing with what I perceived to be bad questions / false choices. But that's a certification exam for you, the MS database exams were even worse in that regard. Planning to take a run at...

Sorry about that...good luck next time. Did she say whether the 200 / 67 numbers were for all IWC or was that for a specific community?

First time IP applicant here, civ background, hoping for 1825. Tilting a bit at windmills I know, but hoping experience and skills may prove useful to the Navy. I worked in an IT org headed by a current IP O-6, so I might be able to finagle a recommendation or two. Right now I'm shoring up...

Thanks devilbones & Rufio. Makes sense, I'll stop hunting for the new schedule...

Another question from someone brand new to this process...I haven't found any dates for FY18 DCO IWC board, is it likely the same time (Jan next year)? Oh, and this is pretty much always the case: "can't find [insert anything] on SharePoint" Poorly implemented SharePoint is like that scene...

They use SharePoint, eh? That could be beneficial for me as a next-year IP DCO hopeful...not that I'm a SharePoint guru but I have a lot of experience working with the database side. Any organization that uses SharePoint has a SQL server sitting somewhere usually in a lot of pain :)

Sorry to hear about the nonselect...I'm going for IP next year so good luck next time (first time poster, have been a lurker)...or, just enough luck for the both of us :)
