July Boards 2010

[aukonak]

I was just told today by my OR that there are July boards for SNA. I'm a little worried because the NORS Commander in the same office had told me days before that June's were the last until this fall. Wow.

 

[jlil41]

Spoke with my OR again today and he said boards are as normal as far as he has heard, so I am going with that.

Seafort & Lucy, thanks for clarifying.. yeah thats a terribly long wait. jlil41, I'm liking the news!

Can you apploy to OCS without having a college degree?

Nope. Having a college degree is a prerequisite.

 

[Lucy]

Edit- you have to at least be earning your degree to apply. Bdcp can let you apply up to 3 years before completion of your degree depending on your major, otherwise if you are within 12 months you can apply for direct spot.

My OR said boards are still on for SNA.

 

[Seafort]

Confirmation from my OR that my package has been sent on for processing. Now it's a waiting game.

LS2 Avalos,

Here this should be of some help to you. He is the guy in charge of your package. Give him a call and find out. Good Luck LS2!

Much Thanks to you "twobecrazy", that was alot of help, now I am just hoping for a reply from him..
Good looking out!

 

[Lucy]

Is it just me, or does this thread seem rather devoid of applicant info, considering most deadlines are this week? Seemed the case for the June thread too...wouldn't think there would be a huge change considering how many people were in for May.

My feeling is that the websites actually represent a small minority of applicants. If we went by just who was on AW/SB/USNOCS the board would only be getting like 20 or 30 applicants each month. In reality, according to statistics, it's usually more like 300 or 400 applicants per month, if I am reading the charts right...

Whether it pays or not to be "wired," I don't know, but I sure would like to see a poll on that. My gut feeling is that those of us who participate online probably do better in selection rates, but I have absolutely nothing to back that up beyond knowing that my package would be decidedly weaker without the online resources I was able to utilise.

 

[Lucy]

Ditto to that Seafort. It just seems to vary so much from month to month about how many people are connected.

BTW to all, nyusn.blogspot.com has recent board selection averages. Very enlightening and for me it was encouraging. Also, there are FY11 numbers which only matter so much, but still informative for those who take the time to figure it out.
