FY-16 CORE SELECT
No one can tell you the chances you have, especially if you haven't even finished your degree. As many wise men have said on this site before, the chances are zero if you don't apply. That said, you are already applying and so your chances are greater than zero.
As a CEC officer myself (on the reserve side) I will say that we are one of the smaller communities in the Navy. A quick count on the Naval Register showed that there are less than 2500 CEC officers. Period. That includes AD and SELRES. To give you a bit of perspective on this, on AD alone, there are more than 2500 URL O1s alone. We are a small community where everyone gets to at least know of just about everyone else. To make matters worse, with the gutting of the Seabees there are less billets available for CEC officers. Yes, NAVFAC and PW billets haven't drastically changed, but it is getting more competitive.
According to NPC http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-n...StaffCorps/Pages/CivilEngineerCorps(CEC).aspx the Community Slide shows that there are quotas available via OCS, and according to this 4 quotas available for STA-21. How could this be so, when there is only one CEC selectee from STA-21 per year?
I just want the scoop on OCS. I want to know what they're looking for. What's a sure bet? Any advice is appreciated.
