FY20 Oct. 28, 2019 SNA/NFO Board

[jaykaymay12]

Random question, is anyone on here applying after having heard a Pro Rec N on a different board? Just curious as to why you might think so. Also, anyone applying to other boards?

Plus my recruiter said the October board is when the "floodgates" open & they take the most people. Our chances are pretty good in Oct I think!

Still waiting on MEPs as well. My recruiter hasn't finished up on the medical paperwork yet and although October 28th feels like a long time from now, the September deadline seems awfully close!

 

[OperationChungus]

Anyone else still have to finish school? I don't graduate until May and THAT wait is killing me lol

Yup, I've got a semester left (graduate in Dec.) in my undergrad, so the earliest I'd be in Newport would be after the holidays. Honestly, given my age (31 in Nov., so cutting pinning Ensign fairly close if there is any type of substantial wait to go to OCS) and wanting to avoid taking a full time job just to quit, I'm really hoping I get a date somewhere in the late January/early February time frame.

Got to get selected before you get a date.

Well I'd hope that no one is applying for this board with the intent of NOT getting selected ?

 

[eagles63ol]

Heck I'm not even that worried about the "get selected" part. I'm more worried about the "waiting on MEPS" part

How long has your prescreen been in for? I submitted ~100 pages of my prior service medical records for review and it took about 3 weeks or so to hear back and get cleared to take my physical. Technically according to USMEPCOM, the prescreen shouldn't take more than 30 working days, but it seems to generally take however long MEPS seems fit.

 

[eagles63ol]

Only about a week and a half. I've got time, I just of course read the horror stories on here about the delay

I’m really looking forward to all of my family and friends who know im applying to this board to send me the new top gun trailer that dropped today. How about you guys?

Literally just got a text in my family group chat: “OperationChungus, this is gonna be you!” smh hahaha

 

[Scimitarze]

Applying to this board hopefully and also throwing the hat in with the Coast Guard too. All depends on when I can go to MEPS after my LASIK wait period expires in August.

Look man... nothing wrong with living out your Top Gun fantasies, I still break out my bomber jacket with soft wings every once in a while when it gets cold.
