Immediate Select SNA Applicant: Anyone Else Waiting This Long for a Decision?

[DuBois_Simpson]

Could anyone provide some context or let me know if anyone else is in a similar situation?

My recruiter submitted my SNA package around March 2nd, and I still haven’t heard back regarding final selection results. The last time I checked in with my recruiter was April 14th, and he said he still hadn’t heard anything either. More recently, he told me that I’m currently waiting on a pro board and that we’ll know more once the results come out.

What’s confusing to me is that I thought Immediate Select candidates were supposed to be fast tracked through the process, move through boards quicker, or potentially bypass them on a rolling basis. At this point I’m just trying to understand what’s going on and whether this timeline is normal.

For context, my recruiter has been confident in my package and says my stats are competitive:

61 OAR
ASTB: 8 AQR / 7 PFAR / 7 FOFAR
3.05 GPA

I also have leadership and service experience working on Capitol Hill for a heavily military district, time in the Peace Corps, and other nonprofit/community work. I also met the qualifications for immediate select consideration.

Part of why the timeline has me stressed is because this process has already taken a long time due to needing LASIK surgery to medically qualify for SNA and then waiting through the recovery timeline before I could continue.

Just wondering if this kind of wait is normal right now or if anyone else has experienced something similar recently. Thanks.

Take a look at the June SNA/SNFO board thread. A lot of people are in the same boat as you.

Welcome to the forum. Please take the time (i.e. 10 seconds) to browse the forum, particularly the aviation OCS board threads for the latest and greatest. From there you will find your answer.

Similarly, any follow on questions/discussion or anything else recruiting + aviation related kindly suggest using the search function.

You are being fast-tracked. The navy and military as a whole just have a funny definition for fast and immediate.

Stats don’t matter as long as they meet the minimums. You will only be rejected from I-SEL for moral reasons (experimental drug use of any kind, criminal charges of any kind, etc).

This kind of wait is normal and there are lots of others in the same boat. There is no standard timeline, and the process goes as fast as the OCM can get through packets.

PERS-43 doesn’t handle aviation OCS boards.

I'm in the exact same situation, lol. I applied Mar. 9. There's a bunch of us in the June board thread who are all undergoing the same wait. I wouldn't stress too much about it - there's not much we can do but wait.
