01JUN26 SNA/SNFO board

[exNavyOffRec]

Follow up question since learning a bit more about the process:

My recruiter told me that the board has not been completed for NFO/SNA, and that I’ve only received an approved status for NFO and SNA is still “In Session”. I have NOT received a memo or any additional documentation for NFO.

Does this leave the possibility of SNA open, or do you suspect I’m still SOL?

The selection part of the board is done in a day it is very quick, if they have not done the SNA's then that makes me think there were no quotas available or they were waiting for confirmation of quotas before they did anything with the SNA's.

In regards to ISEL the deal is you get one, I have not heard of anyone getting selected for ISEL for more than one designator.

If you wanted SNA your recruiter should have not had you put anything other than that.

Do you have any recommendations for how I should proceed if SNA is what I’m set on doing?

I wish I’d known putting NFO on my preferences sheet practically shot my chances of being looked at for pilot.

You could decline NFO and hope they don't hold that against you when you try for SNA.

I was inadvertently selected for NFO, declined, and picked up for pilot my next board. If you have questions about the process (it's simple) feel free to reach out. With your scores, I have zero doubt you'd get pilot, it's just a matter of if you're willing to wait a little longer. I know you said you and your wife can't do so but it's really a small price to pay if it means being where you want to be for the next 10 years, and you being happier is obviously a good thing for your wife too haha.
