FY20 Oct. 28, 2019 SNA/NFO Board

[FormerRecruitingGuru]

Luckily I don't have any medical or legal waivers but was borderline on one part of the physical... just curious if the board sees your MEPS results and or med waivers. It's crazy a 67 OAR got denied on the SWO board. Also, it seems @RecruitingGuru disagrees... he replied to my question with "no"

LETS START A DEBATE

You asked if the selection board looks at your medical record. I said they don't. @NavyOffRec mentioned the board DOES look at non-medical waivers to include drug/legal/etc. He said yes.

You are comparing apples to oranges with the responses provided.

Remember when we thought we’d hear results the same week the board met? Pepperidge farm remembers.

Only 90s kids remember

Appreciate it. I had estimates as to my chances, but getting a Prorec N on that board forced me to question all my prior assumptions. Whatever rhyme or reason the boards are picking candidates by, I am clearly not attuned to it.

Yikes. I'm worried about this

Indeed, I was going off memory when that reporting data to the SWO spreadsheet - I just remember the OAR being in the 60s - but I texted my recruiter to get that data double-checked and he said it was actually 67. This confusion includes the GPA, as my UC doesn't count community college classes into the GPA visible on my transcript. It's visible as a 2.9, but my recruiter assured me that he did the numbers, and it comes up to about 3 when those are added in.

what UC? me and another guy in here were uc. UCSB for me

UCSD man. Tritons represent!

...Well I'd say that but I'm not sure I felt any sense of connection to my school, if I'm honest. How was UCSB?

Was swo your first choice? This might be a classic example of overqualification and them believing that you won’t take the offer

For record, SWO was my last choice, behind NFO. Also, my recruiter said he figured there'd be no harm in submitting a packet to IP, although to my memory I'm not sure I actually qualify for IP, and I'm not counting on it.

UCSB was pretty great for a lot of reasons. Haha maybe we will catch up in Pensacola

DM me your name and I’ll check the SWO board list and confirm if you were At-board

He was indeed at board.

Hopefully today is the day.

I don’t really know about that. OSONE just said that at 10:45 am yesterday Hawaii time someone said the results were awaiting signature from the Admiral.
