Final Select Supply Corps
Just get it into your recruiter by August 15th. This will allow enough time for OR screw ups, processor screw ups, Milington screw ups, ad nauseum.
Someone's a bit bitter.

I am just annoyed.. I mean it took a week just for someone to email me the application. I'm annoyed at how everyone is just laid back with their job.. The whole reason a recruiter's job exists is to process new applicants.. And most of Headquarters wraps around the idea of getting new applicants processed into the Navy.. And when I was there and witnessed many people shooting the shit around their cubical, I now understand why it took a week to do something that should of taken 5 min.
Squeaky wheel gets the grease my friend. Some OR's are more responsive than others, but it ultimately comes down to you being responsible for yourself by doing everything you can to move things along. I've been where you are and have been totally stunned at times. Just gotta take it for what it is and move on.
If there are larger issues though, and that you are being ignored even with constant communication attempts, you might want to try talking to someone here or finding a different OR. (Just my 2cents, others here are more experienced/knowledgeable)

Nothing better than an ice cold, Alaska Summer Ale by the lake. It's a Kölsch-style ale that really takes me back to Germany.
Only breweries that can view the Kölner Dom (Cologne Cathedral, the largest two-tower cathedral in the world) can call their beer Kölsch. Incidentally there are roughly 38 Kölsch breweries in Cologne.
If anyone wants to talk beer... especially Bier... I'm always game.
So, I agree. Let's sit back, crack a beer and let the fates decide.
Oh and I guess i'll throw up my stats... Didn't want to share but what the hell, I wana talk beer.

I've been hammering the Hoegaarden and Pacifico pretty steadily... good "board-anticipation-anxiety-reliever"

Final-Select SNA 20 Feb 2011 OCS Date
Hoegaarden! You have good taste sir!
Applying to Septmeber boards.
F/25/Non-prior
Supply/Intel/SWO
ASTB OAR 55
University of California, San Diego
BA in Econommics
GPA 3.04
LORs: 5 all from previous employers
Interviews: 1 from a Supply Corps CDR, and 2 from CDR friends of my dad's all in Navy
Activites: 2 years of high school flag and drill team, with President office held
Honors: High School Diploma with Academic Distinction
Provost Honors
PRT: G/M
MEPS: Qualified
Motivational statement explains that my low GPA was due to working part-time while taking care of my young daughter while husband worked full-time+ (he's a manager of a Toys R Us so lots of evening and extra shifts). No criminal record or traffic tickets, and clean health history.
My OR said my math and science grades and GPA will hurt me and I will most likely not get a select. I am wondering if that's really true, but I hear that the board looks at the whole package and not just the grades and GPA. So fingers crossed. But I must say that I am disheartened by his words.

my recruiter told me to only do o-4 or higher interviews just because it looks better to the board luckily he had a guy i could talk to and i have a friend who knew two pilots i interviewed with. if you talk to your recruiter he could probably help you out with a couple of officer interviews.

Unless you're going for some engineering job or a job that requires these skills, I don't see why it would matter. Your degree is in the Arts anyway.. So obviously math and science was not your strong point. The board will know this and take in consideration the rest of your package.. Looking for a strong leader. I mean granted you didn't get a bunch of D's and F's.. Your OAR obviously shows you're not a dummy with math.. because if you totally bombed the math you prob would have a lower score.. Unless you're just a good guesser
Looking to be on this September board as well. Nervous and excited at the same time you all know that feeling.
Most of my package is complete - have taken the ASTB, signed the necessary paperwork, completed the new app just need to finish the NASIS (if that is willing to work when I have free time to go to the library for IE..ugh)
Here are my stats:
23/m/non-prior
Intel/SWO/Supply
B.A. Political Science / Minor in Classical Humanities
Miami University (Ohio): 3.74/4.00 - Cum Laude and dean's list every semester but one and another academic award within my major.
OAR: 59-7/7/6
3 LORs - Former Boss, Family Friend (Retired AF O-5), and a former professor (dept head)
Motivational Statement: wrote about my desire to be part of a team and how my current job is unsatisfying. Tied in leadership experiences in the past and how I have always been part of a group in the past and now one year removed from college I am lacking that team.
Extracurriculars:
High School Sports every season all 4 years (Soccer, Lacrosse, Indoor Track) - captain of a few of the JV teams.
VP of Membership in my fraternity as well as scholarship chair and greek week chair.
Have held a job since I was 17.
The recruiter said no need for an interview unless you get turned down from the first application but she said I have a strong application.
Negatives: was arrested for Underage Intox my 3 years ago - charge was dismissed.
I think I have a strong package .. lets just hope the board does too!
