DCO Supply Chances and Selections

[RaginCajun]

My recruiter submitted my packet for Supply on July 6. I think he said the next board meets in August. Can anyone else confirm? Anybody else applying this round?

My Stats:
54 OAR
3.9 GPA Bachelors of Business Administration with a Marketing Emphasis

I’m 22, and I’ve had lots of odd jobs but nothing super relevant to supply
I was very involved in my local Unitarian Universalist church.
I’m also bilingual. Spanish is my second language

Sounds like active duty board not reserve

Oh yes, I am commissioning for active duty. Sorry. I’m lost. I’m having trouble navigating this site. Is there a thread specifically for active duty supply officers?

Yes. The thread is further down the forum's page. Also doesn't hurt to just enter each one to get a feel of the site as well as the answering of some questions you may have. Happy Hunting.

Good Evening,

Are there any current reserve SUPPO’s that could go over a day in the life during a typical drill weekend and/or AT period?

Currently active duty E-5 with 24 months left until I EAOS and strongly considering going the O route in reserves to stay Navy but maintain a healthier work-life balance than what AD provides.

Thank you all in advance!

Sure thing. I will say that your typical DWE and AT will vary GREATLY between the type of unit you are attached to. My experience is as a Company Commander in a Cargo unit which is a fairly demanding. An FLC or DLA unit will be slower paced.

You can shoot me a PM with any specific questions or if you want to have a call to go over everything.

Yup, Feel free to reach out to me too. I can share some experience from operational unit to non-operational units.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I intend to submit a package to the board for a direct commission Supply Corps officer role. Currently, I am an enlisted SELRES sailor in a cargo handling unit and a contract specialist with a DoD agency. I have a BA with a 3.46 GPA and am slated to fulfill the requirements of my DAWIA certification in August of this year. I am somewhat well-liked in my unit and the Os that I've interacted with have been quite helpful with information and tips.

I saw on the program authorization published on MyNavyHR that interviews are conducted from January to May of each year, but do not know when the boards are slated to take place and have had a heck of a time trying to find a reserve officer recruiter (the officer recruiter I've been in touch with is active duty and keeps trying to sell me on aviation or SWO).

Appealing to you all's vast knowledge base and experience, how can I get in touch with the correct recruiter? Do you think it's too late in the cycle to schedule interviews and apply for the upcoming boards? In either case, would it be wise to wait until I've attained my DAWIA cert, or is there no time like the present, so to speak?

Thank you in advance!
Semper Gumby,

Jim

I wish you the best, I was told yesterday that because of a new instruction my region is not accepting Dco packages in my area. I'm considering the Army or active duty now. I hope your experience is better, this would have been my third submission. I too was in a cargo handling battalion. Good luck to you brother.

I will say most competitive applicants have a masters degree.

Happy Monday! - I found my reserve officer recruiter on LinkedIn. I searched "Navy Reserve Officer Recruiter (and my location)" and a few names popped up. Selected one that had their phone number listed, gave him a call, and he's been running with me for the last few months. If you are in the DMV/Hampton Roads area, I can send you his info if you would like.

I hope you have a good recruiter! I've been ghosted multiple times by mine. I can never get any answers or consistency. Frustrating!

I started the process back in August and I think my initial recruiter went out on maternity leave and didn't tell me. I waited about a month for a response and didn't receive anything in return from her. I found my current recruiter in September and he has already submitted paperwork for my security clearance, sent me to MEPs, worked with me on submitting the application, and emailed me this AM that he will be contacting me in the future to schedule interview time slots. So far no complaints!

Just found out mid application my recruiter is changing billets and they do not know the replacement yet. Going to be a race to May to get a packet in.
