I just received word of my selection by the SWO community. No definite time to OCS, but just looking for any helpful info regarding checking in down in Pennsacola and what to expect in the initial phase.

Thanks

Nice humor my friend. Hopefully I will not be in a position to need an aviator's help on the bridge; I would guess, at that point, things would be in the sketchy area. BTW, I've got a projected class-up date for OCS; Nov. 1, '03.

Hey Duke,

Congrats on getting in! Could you share your stats with us, SWO is my ultimate choice but my recruiter tells me that is full until the next millenium, seems now they are accepting people and sending them to OCS soon too since you are going still this year! Did you have anything significant to help out? How helpful was your recruiter? Thanks in advance.

Congratulations! Duke, I guess you are waiting for the CO to come back from leave? I’m in the same situation. Are you active or coming in as a civilian? I just found out as well it seems to be a short wait.

I am a second class Storekeeper, and I had Supply as my first choice. Supply was a turn-down for some reason, and SWO was not. I had a 3.67 GPA in college which I finished on shore duty that I am currently on. EVALS were high, and I had good interviews and recommendations. My OAR met the requirement but was not high. I also heard SWO was closed with no end in sight but recently have heard that spots open up here and there so I guess my package was there at the right time. SWO was my 2nd/3rd choice; I also had PAO down. Yes, the CO has been on leave so that is the hold up with my paperwork, and orders.

Duke,
I believe I met you today at the PX. Nice talking with you and I wish you well with OCS in Nov. I will try to look around on this site for info on the age limit or I will post a message myself. I can't believe that I am running into something that my age will be a factor. I am getting old. Ha!!
