For SNA I interviewed with the skipper of HSM-40/The Airwolves, Captain Conley. Great interview, he gave me high praise and an outstanding appraisal. Good luck to you all in your pursuits.

I'm in the Chicago area and my OR told me pilot/NFO does not require interviews and I even asked my processor and they said that pilot and nfo is not required either and really doesn't make a difference. It's more for jobs like Intel... This is just passed down information from my NRD.. So I was just wondering who told you it was a new rule, so I make sure I get one then if it is in fact a new rule.. Because I noticed a few other people going for NFO/SNA on here do not have interviews.

 

[Wambo]

I was told I was going to be in the October board. I'm having trouble with a medical waiver though.
ASTB scores are 9/9/9 65
BA in Logistics from University of North Florida
25 years old
Going for SNA

I was going to post something similar (Nashville NRD). I asked my recruiter about this being a new requirement and was told he hadn't heard anything like that.

Also Wambo, that's an amazing ASTB score. Good luck.

 

[Marco]

Well, I am basing this off of what my OR told me. FWIW, I am also applying for Supply and SWO. I don't know if it's required or not. It's overkill, a new reg, both, or neither.
I did what I was told. I interviewed with Supply officers and the Skipper, Exec, and Ops officer on the U.S.S. Carney.

27, Male, SSGT (E-5) F-15 Crew Chief on active duty in Florida Air National Guard.

You weren't shooting for the FANG UPT board? I know it's just Eagles...but still...

 

[Marco]

Ryan,
Yes I did apply for the FANG board. I also applied to many other places as well. Anything not related to the Oct Navy OCS board is probably best discussed through pm and I would be happy to do so. Good luck to all OCS hopefuls!

 

[ryan1234]

Ryan,
Yes I did apply for the FANG board. I also applied to many other places as well.

Great!! ...I was sort of in the same boat... applied every where, the Navy didn't pan out.. but a Guard fighter unit did. Good luck buddy!!

 

[Seafort]

Given the shear size of the applicant lists for September, I have asked my OR to send my package in to the October boards as well. Gotta be proactive...
