Checking into purgatory from the 30 June selection board. Hopefully I'll get my FINSEL soon for SNA. On an interesting note I was a non-select for Air Force previously (March '15) and this morning I got a call saying I was retroactively selected for RPA (Remotely Piloted Aircraft) and was given a class date of 30 October. I declined the offer because I really want to be in an airplane and I don't want to live at Clovis or Nellis. (my brother spent four years at each and hated it). Somehow this is making my purgatory worse...

Flying UAV's on a screen wouldn't even compare to what we'll be doing as SNAs. Good call. The thrill of flying is well...flying.

I looked into the Air Force before contacting the Navy. They didn't have pilot slots and I was offered RPA. No. Thanks.

The Air Force didn't select any pilots through OTS for over a year and have recently just started back. However.... The time between being selected to starting pilot training can be 2 years. The navy is usually just under a year from ocs to starting primary which is pretty good.

Hey guys, checking in from the June 30 board,
ProRec-y SNA. Finished with my degree this summer but it doesn't technically get conferred until August. Does the FINSEL process begin and I am eligible to receive my letter once I have my degree, or do I have to show proof of graduation for the FINSEL process to begin?
