Cuculeis is an active duty sailor. There apps take alot less time. I have been waiting for a month and a day now. I have no idea when they'll call me. Expect it to take a little longer. You have a good app but, they have many applications to review there at Millington. I called Millington this morning about my app. but, the guy said that he can't talk to me about my apllication because I'm not active duty and have a recruiter. I did ask him some general questions about reveiw times and he said that it varies alot. Also, he told me that SWO was closed to all OCS applicants, but open to some BDCP applicants. That is a let down for me. I have yet to hear from the AMDO guys. They called me the one time but, I haven't heard squat since last Friday.

no he said that they have a big office and that its always pretty busy. He was pretty adamant about SWO being closed to OCS intial accessions. About SWO, being 62 percent full... I think that they are never full because they have to give slots to ROTC and Academy guys. I hope that I'm wrong though. I do think that they might second guess gving SWO to OCS intial accession folks. SWO is a freaking hard as hell life. I mean most people here consider it as a last choice or an (i guess i'll take it...kinda thing). SWO is a awesome job though but, most people don't like being out at sea for the first 4 years. If you didn't get picked for NFO I think you have a solid shot at Supply. I hope you hear soon.

My application was in Millington for months before I got SNFO. The wait depends on so many factors that it's not worth reading too much into it. Board schedule, FY timing, available slots, active-duty status, quality of other candidates, the order of your choices, medical reviews, etc....

I just got shot down from AMDO. My package went to the Supply board on wednesday. I don't think i'll get supply though. I have an aeronauctics degrees. Supply and SWO are my two other choices. I want SWO more but, was told that its futile to apply for it.

for the most part, you are correct goliath. active sailors take less time...however, i have a couple of buddies, who are active sailors and have been waiting for over 5 weeks. on of them found out on his 6th week that he got denied. not bad scores on his astb either. i know it was over 50 on the oar. he was shooting for AMDO...but like i said the most important factor is to have your package complete and correct the first time...attention to detail is paramount.
well everyone, just heard word a few minutes ago that I didn't get NFO. My PRT needs to be in the good-medium( I think that's what the recruiter said) So now the package is off to the supply board. Sorry to hear the bad news goliath. you've got solid scores...I think you have a shot at supply.
sonny you could just take a couple weeks to get your prt fixed and then reapply for your NFO slot. I could be wrong, but even if you get the Supply slot, I think you can update your PRT and request the NFO slot and it could possibly be given prior to OCS shipping. I know they work stuff like that for NFO to SNA sometimes. But I'm not clear, I'm guessing on that.

I'll just keep applying. I think the Supply board convened on Wed. Man if they don't give you supply then they're dumb. I mean a 3.8 in accounting! thats fucking hard to get. The best of luck to you sonny. They have 137 slots for Supply this year. they have/had 23 for AMDO. I guess AMDO is as hard to get as Intel. Supply is a cool job to though man. You'll be able to get SWO qualifed if you go to a ship. The pin looks a little different but, its still cool. Also you can get Airwarfare qual'd if you go to a squadron. good luck though.

They did it for me. I was originally NFO and my recruiter just had me sign a change of designator request form to go to SNA. It was a quick turn-around, I heard back in 3 days.
