FY 20 IWC DCO Board

[camden76]

Any of the recent DCO's still waiting on being gained by their NOSC? Just curious if anyone else is still waiting. I'm getting close to two months and after calls to my NOSC I am still waiting for any movement.

Keep in mind a LOT of 1835s were being held off till next fiscal (aka october) to be commissioned and gained.

As an 1825 I was wondering the same thing and my OR is who had to push for clarification. My unit chain has no power until your gain package is sent (aka RAA is accepted). Since that completed my CAC, any quotas, etc were all bam put into motion.

Start with your OR.

I'm still waiting. It doesn't look like everything has processed yet and I'm still showing as enlisted in DEERS as of today. Maybe next month

Did you come in as an O2?

I'm the only 1825 from my board who came in as an O1. Everyone else was O2 ha-ha.

Hi how many other IP 1825 were in your class? Thanks

My board had eight IP selects.

@devilbones can you tell me how did others join at the O-2 grade?

 

[surf3001x]

I can tell you ..a lot of prior navy experience. Ive met two guys from my board, both were IT1's

Exactly what @surf3001x said and they had the correct combination of certs the board was looking for I guess. I don't know the exact criteria the board was looking at but I know that just because you meet the threshold doesn't mean you will come in higher than an O1. It would be really tough to have somebody without prior experience to come in as an O2/O3.

^^ This right here.

@devilbones and @surf3001x thank you both for the insight. I was wondering if that was possible is all as I have an extensive background as well. I was under the impression that it was impossible to come in higher than an O-1

 

[surf3001x]

Coming on as an ensign isn't a bad thing either. Im glad I did! More time to properly qualify especially as an IP. Selection rates for IPs are great later on so I'm in no big rush.

@surf3001x i don’t find anything wrong with it as well. I have put my application in for Crypto and intel

You can go up to three fyi, my first pick was crypto but glad I got IP now. Im interested in snagging oix/xo billets early on if possible and IP has a pathway for that.

Anyhow best of luck!
