26JAN2026 IWC Board

[skibum]

I spoke with the Intel OCM about this. It is closed for non-fleet applicants and open for fleet applicants. On an earlier page in this thread there’s a picture of the schedule and it notes what is being considered at the board that convened 26JAN.

Thanks for clearing this up! Bummer for us civilians, but good luck to 1830 fleet applicants!

The actual degree can be misleading unless you know their background. I had an History major selected for IP or CW (can't remember which) who had nearly 3 years of Electrical Engineering before realizing that was not the path for them.

The stats over a few decades have shown that IP and CW select those with tech degrees around 90% of the time, having a high GPA helps as I also had an English major with a near 4.0 GPA picked for Intel.

Are you saying he had 3 years of Electrical Engineering experience?

Electrical Engineering coursework, I should have clarified better.

Did u have a lot of non tech degrees apply for both ip and cw tho? I feel like cw is more niche compared to intel.
