Jan/Feb/Mar Boards

[Lucy]

Hey All,

Thought I would start a thread for the upcoming boards. There is the Feb SNA board thread, but thought it would be good to have a thread for all 3 months, since there is a mix of desginators in the time frame.

Just as a refresher of the schedule:
Intel
19 Mar 2012

Pilot/NFO/SWO
23 Jan 2012

Supply
23 Jan 2012
19 Mar 2012

Quotas for FY13:
SWO-About 50
NFO- Under 20
Pilot- About 100
AMDO-5
Intel/IW- Around 20
Supply- About 40
Just as an FYI, there is a new version of the SF86 coming out next week, so if your app is not already in AND your security clearence opened by Wednesday be prepared to do the new one. It is much simpler though, so not a big deal.

Gonna do my stats in a following post.

Good luck to everyone, and bravo for sticking with it!

As a odd note, my NRD no longer has an officer recruiter after my OR retires next week. This had better work! :-P

Where did you find all those officers for interviews and LORs?

 

[Lucy]

SNA and Intel were set up by my OR (he is a senior chief so had to have at least one). Intel "needs" one so he set up those.

Rest of the LORs and interviews (except the O-3 Intel who I've known since HS) I have arranged over the last year and half+ at this. Participated in forums on here, usnavyocs.com, and sailorbob.com. Also made a trip to San Diego, participated in fleet week in my town. etc. Made contacts, and had people willing to help when I needed.

Others take note, she is going to be "the one to beat."

Way to kick ass! The initiative alone speaks highly of you.

Lucy,

Do you know what is going to happen if two of your applied communities have the board at the same day?

Thanks....

Futher down in his post, he put these up:

FY 12 Numbers
Program
Surface (Ocean Option): 1
Pilot: 75
Public Affairs Officer: 2
Oceanography: 2
Information Warfare: 2
Supply: 57
EDO (SEGA): 4
Cyber Warfare: 3

Do these correspond to the same quotas Lucy posted in the OP? Are these quotas for FY12 or for FY13 (but pro rec'd in FY12)? Sorry if that doesn't make sense.

 

[MGoBrew11]

That is for fiscal year 12.

Shouldn't we be looking at FY 13 numbers at this point if you're in the application process? Not likely anyone that has not been selected is going to OCS before next summer. That would put us in a FY 13 graduation date.
