Unless I'm getting the wrong impression from reading this forum(and the OCS application form), when you apply for OCS you put down three choices of the job you want. How exactly does that work as far how you get selected and for what? Do you go through a general selection process and then career specific boards based on your preference? Do they look at what you have down and forward it to the appropriate board based on what the Navy needs?
For example, if I have 1. SWO 2. IW 3. Nuclear Engineer, but the Navy doesn't need that many SWOs or IW, but does need nuclear. Would I just get forwarded to the nuclear board right away?
Also, while I'm here, I got VA disability for sleep apnea(auto 50%) and an extra 10% for a minor back issue. Neither of these anything that would have kept me from reenlisting when I was still in, and don't affect my physical performance as far as being able to to meet physical training requirements. Will that be a major stumbling block for me? I did notice that there is a section of the application that specifically states that I agree to waive my disability pay if selected and go to OCS , so I suppose it's not an automatic disqualifier, but I was just wondering how much it would hurt my chances.
