Service Selection Results

Found out some interesting news the other day...
Apparently P-Cola holds back some pilot slots/nfo slots/swo/etc for those that are awaiting news about Nuke positions... That way those guys don't get screwed into their 3rd choice or something just because they didn't get a Nuke spot.
The selection for Nukes is different that the rest of us b/c there is an interview portion. Therefore, you could, in theory, walk into the interview with a 4.0 in Chem and Mech Engineering and totally fail the interview and NOT get a Nuke spot. How fair is it to then turn around and say, "Okay Mr. Smarty pants, you just got your 3rd choice b/c the Admiral didn't like what you had to say and all the rest of the slot have already been given out..."??
Long story short, this may be part of the reason some Mids haven't found out yet about getting pilot or otherwise...

Is there anyone who is still waiting to hear about their service selection results? I am still awaiting for SWO. I am a engr. major with a 3.0 gpa and a 4.0 aptitude and I still havent heard. My LTs have said that my gpa wasnt high enough and thats why I am still awaiting news, not to sure about that. Anyone else in the same boat or have some info on this. :icon_rage
god forbid you have to go NFO or pilot , lol

SWO's won't find out until next week, at the earliest. Everyone that requested SWO from the Academy or from NROTC was put into a national ranking system and will be given a time (sometime next week or the week after I heard) that was based on said ranking to select their ship. This is what our SWO LT told me a few weeks back. Good luck, and I think you should be fine.
I dunno what happens if you dont get SWO thats why I am a little worried. A few years ago Mids here got Individual Ready Reserve and were ensigns for one day. Everyone in my unit has allready heard that the got a swo designation back in early january. Its been two months since than and I am still awaiting designation.
All the future SWO's and SWOettes found out their designator futures before Christmas here at our unit...
Now the Ship Selection is a different game entirely. That comes out in a little while. That is the "National ranking" refered to above... There's a single list of everyone (SWO), ranked. They are then allowed to "select" a ship/port of their choice, but it's first ranked, first served and so on down the line. It's my understanding DDG's, San Diego and Norfolk go fast...
