IWC Reserve Community detailer (this is for RL officers only, not URL or Staff). The number of slots each year on the board is for all intents and purposes only bringing in fresh 1835 Ensigns to compensate for attrition; in addition to this, 29% of 1835s at the O4 and above level are not selected for paid billets and are forced into various VTUs around the country (as of FY2016). If you're an O4 and unwilling to travel across the country for a paid billet, it is highly probable that you will end up in a VTU. What does all this mean for new applicants? Record low acceptance rates with extraordinarily high levels of competition. I've met a few recent selectees on the board that went this year and they are by far and away unbelievably over-qualified and even make the selectees from FYs 2014, 2015, and 2016 seem comparably unqualified. I'm glad i'm not an applicant in this current hiring climate.

I think he is just trying to make sure people have realistic expectations, and what they could be looking at in the future, my processor for a while knew of reserve Intel officers who lived on the West Coast and would travel to the East Coast to drill. I knew of a PAO who lived in the south and the only billet she could get was in DC for drilling

It's the plain truth.
One is my interviewers who was an O-5 from Ohio. They explained to me once you are O-4 and above things change. I interviewed in ATL. Still haven't gotten my interview scores BTW

you may not know the scores, my NRD did not release that info to the applicant, and I know many others would not as well, the interviewers would do the interviews and then write up the sheets, print them and hand them to our processor.
My recruiter told me he would let me know so we can make a decision on how to order my package. Because if they wrote me a rec for IP than I may change it to (IP, Intel, IW) currently its (Intel, IP, IW)..

each NRD could do it a bit different, the board sheets went directly to the processors, the recruiters did not see them, the only reason I would see them is I would do the final check on the applications prior to them getting the final signature.
I find it very odd that yours haven't been rec'd yet.
I have no clue. I mentioned to the OIC there was a certification that I did not have in my package and she mentioned that I would be able to add it before the final package is submitted and I asked my recruiter the same thing and he said yes. I applied for Supply before and my recruiter told me my scores

Our region OIC sends the OIC sheet along with the panel interview sheets to the recruiter directly.
That's the impression that I got, is that I would at least be able to have an idea of how I did and know my scores. Maybe not so much be able to read word for word what they said

I never received my scores from any of my interviews and the processor told me I wasn't supposed to see them. However, the interviewers gave immediate feedback after our interview so I knew what their feedback was going to be on the appraisal form.

I am not sure why that image came out so big, but this is from the IWC DCO PR Board FY 17.
If someone is told you are not/not competitive for the very program you were applying to, this isn't some triathlon where everyone gets a finishers medal -- you actually are not going to be selected. Have some maturity, self introspection, and ability to accept critical feedback with the understanding that it is being done as a favor to you. Unfortunately, some people without these character traits will still be completely shocked when they are not selected, even after the Region OIC and three senior officers told them they are not a good fit for a program.
I want the Navy to bring in the most qualified people to the program to be my colleagues, and trust me, after seeing who was selected on the most recent board, we are.

That regulation only applies to the formal professional recommendation board in Millington, it does not apply whatsoever to the local interview panels at the Region level. It is your package and until such point in time it is submitted to Millington, you are entitled to see every page in it. The interview form that the local panels fill out is literally the same interview form that applicants would previously print out themselves and give to interviewers whom they would find themselves before they started doing these local panels and this is still how its done in many of the other commissioning programs the Navy has.
