Former NFO-select, now SNA
I just received the biggest news of my life!!!! Even better than the NFO pro-rec I received in September! My recruiter just informed me that I have officially been reassigned to SNA instead of NFO!!!!!!!!! My tentative date as I understand it is April 3rd. My documents should come within the next 7-10 days and I should be sworn in before Christmas...at least that's the plan. I can't believe it, I'm too excited to sit still!

Who wouldn't want to get into class 11-11?! We're pretty much guaranteed to all graduate on time... But seriously, hope it works out. If everything was done, you might be getting in. Mine is still tentative too, and I have received the actual letter, so maybe you are in the same deal and your recruiter just doesn't want to get you all excited yet.
Man, this is beast news! I'd be going crazy too. Any reason why the redesignation? I'm also assuming you had SNA as your #1? Regardless, congratulations.

Danielsw25: SNA was my #1. It had something to do with a combination of re-evaulating my qualifications, as well as the needs of the Navy. There was a pilot slot open for the April 3rd date, and if I had remained NFO, I would have been leavinig around August or so, but that would put me at 27 and too old to qualify. This way, I can be commissioned and apply for flight training before I turn 27. The officer who re-evaulated me told my recruiter that if not for quota, I would have been selected SNA already. I'm just thankful that things happened the way they did, lol.

I figured out the problem with my final select. My conditional release from the reserves needs to be signed by PERS and not my CO like I was originally told. So now I have to go and get that squared away tomorrow with my admin and Chiefs. Hopefully I can get it quick and turn it in to get my final select and class date quickly. I don't want to be sitting around doing nothing.
I finally went to MEPS about a month ago, and I got word yesterday that my medical came back good. I had to re-sign my security clearnance papers though? Apparently since I signed them back in May, the dates were too old and I needed a more recent signature. I was under the impression that after MEPS, you were cleared to receive your FS, but now I'm being told that I have to wait for the security clearance also? I think I'm confused as far as what's actually required to be compelted in order to receive your final select, so if anyone could shed some light on this, I'd appreciate it. I was pro-rec'd back in September, and starting to get a little antsy.
Both security and MEPS are required for FS. The PRT was also required but it has been suspended.
Great, thank you for clearing that up. Do you know approximately how long a security clearance takes? I thought it had been processed in May when I originally signed the documents, but I'm being told now that's not the case.

Don't they tell you your medical is good at MEPS? That's what they did for me. They handed me my paperwork and told me I was qualified. Maybe it was because I was a prior.
It truly just depends on you, the job, the clearance, etc...
You passed the MEPS physical but they have to send it off to get it approved. So yes you passed but you aren't qualified until Big Navy says you are.

Security clearences take longer than until the FS, but there are certain checkpoints and as long as those come back ok you will get your FS. Non TS/SCI ones generally take 3-6 months for a complete check, and TSI/SCI are anywhere from 6-12 months.
For example, my job with NPS required a 7 year check and it took about 4 months, but I started work 2 weeks after submission because all the major flags had been checked. Same concept for the Navy.

Due to the next board being in April you qualify for reapplying due to being 6+ months from the last board you were reviewed.
