Is this schedule out yet? How did you know there was a board in Jan?
Boards are typically the same months every year

Asked my recruiter last week if the FY22 dates were out yet he said they just came out and told me it was the 24th with a deadline of Nov 30.

There is a difference between boards held in FY 22 and boards selecting for FY 22 just so everyone is aware, as a reminder selections for the next FY start about 6 months prior to the new FY beginning.
The first several boards to be held after Oct 1st were out on the last board date sheet.
Please elaborate!
What were some of the examinations run and which exams DQ’d the most applicants? What future and/or outlook do they have with the Navy now?
40% seems, to me at least, to be a huge chunk of applicants cut. @exNavyOffRec, is this consistent with what you would see happen to applicants at OCS? And what course of action would you advise them to take and/or do you see them take?
Thank you both
Edit: SNAs conduct different medical examinations from other designators, correct?
we only had 20 mins to talk but he said a good amount was eye test failure, he was one of the few to get a NFO spot bc he was still qualified for that. other than that he said they had to chose a new grade or pay the navy for their time there and the ticket back home

This is why the USN several years ago stopped accepting civilian eye retest, too often they would fail at MEPS, find a civilian doc and then pass only to fail at OCS with the NAMI physical. This is why I am surprised they allowed it again.
They do not pay the USN back for their time there, it is like any other job in that they were working so they get paid. If they had bought uniforms and owe money still for them then that is a different reason on why they owe money.
In general those that go to OCS for aviation that get a medical DQ are more likely to want to go home than those who go for subs and find out they are DQ for subs.
