04NOV24 SNA/NFO Board

Just texted my recruiter. She said the last pilot board is October 4th, but you can still be immediate select if you have no waivers, GPA is in a certain range, and have a certain ASTB score. NFO is still available for November 4th board
What is the criteria for immediate selection?
 
Hello, I am looking to go pilot, waiting on an optometrist appointment to see my eligibility for eye surgery (NFO if I can’t). I have two years left in my degree program, although my recruiter says I can get the ball rolling now with the ASTB, then wait for medical. Should I be worried about pilot applications being closed?
Are you able to do anything while still in school? Im still in school, but if I can get started now I would love to.
 
College program that will let you go before the board. If selected you’ll get a slot for whatever designator you applied for and class date for after your graduation. You will also get paid as an E4 while in school.
Should I call a recruiter to ask about it? I am currently an E-4 in the reserves, not sure if that gets in the way.

You should definitely call and see, if you get selected it’ll just go to active duty. But I think you’ll keep all that time in service.
 
I'll be checking for the at board list most of the day tomorrow. I'll be sure to let everyone know if its out, and will try to help verify names.
I think my board’s at board list came out Wednesday. But hopefully you guys get yours tomorrow.
 
I was an NFO select and am currently at OCS. Got med DQed for an eye condition and trying to fight it. From what I’ve seen, aviation selects are dropping like flys for medical stuff. I don’t know what the normal amount is for a class but every aviation guy is waiting to hear back on something and student pool has over 100 aviators just waiting right now. We are being told that everything is super backed up. There are guys that have to wait until next May for medical appointments to get cleared. So if you get here be prepared to wait a few months in student pool and think about now if you would consider redesignating. Command is pushing hard to have people redes. Also, jobs like intel are filled up until next fiscal year so your redes options are probably SWO or supply. I strongly recommend that you expect to need a wavier for something and ask yourself if you want to just fly or be a navy officer.

Also, Could be bad gouge but I have heard rumors allegedly from the XO that they are shortening the program to 10 weeks next year for what that’s worth.
 
The at board list is out. There are names for Pilot but only 24. 54 for NFO. 4 duplicates. Wondering if that is mostly only BDCP applicants for Pilot. I can check names for anyone who wants to know.

When I was at OCS we had a guy who had been in the student pool for like a year, and then finally got his orders! He never gave up and it paid off!
