I see it’s nothing wrong with asking a question but I read the instruction 1420. Which said your transcripts needed to certified. The comnavinst also speaks about transcripts but I believe it’s more on the recruiter/civilian side. What’s your email I’ll send you my package.

That is one of the questions I asked my CCC because according to 1420, college transcripts have to be sent separately and cannot be certified to be a true copy, and that is specifically only for OCS applicants. My CCC said that was before they started accepting packages through email. They really need to update 1420...

The entire instruction is basically toilet paper at this point.

Update:

Whew Chile,

This was all over the place. I did end up talking to other recruiting commands, and it seems that what happened to me seemed specific to the command I'm in currently. The command I'm applying from does a prescreen and a "pre-board" before sending all the applications out. Applicants that are deemed competitive enough are sent to the board. It was this pre board that said my degree wasn't competitive enough. I tried contacting my recruiter, but ended up getting in touch with my recruiter's commander. He told me I'd have to wait for the next board since they made the decision, then I told him I will but probably with a different district.

Afterwards I get back in touch with my recruiter with the intention to transfer commands, and he tells me that my package was pushed through LAST WEEK. Which is so confusing because he called on Tuesday saying it didn't. And then said they'll push the package through if the applicant insists. So hopefully everything did push through at least. I'm still a little apprehensive but I'm staying optimistic. All this right before the deadline.

Thank you everyone for helping me out!

Good luck to everyone else! I pray no one had/has to go through this.

What they are doing is technically not allowed and is flirting with an IG investigation.

The manuals are quite clear, anyone that meets basic requirement must be sent to NRC to be reviewed by the board, the only exception is if the NRD holds and conducts a field reject board, and then they have to give you a formal letter of rejection.

It seems as they are playing games with you, and I would be very suspect on anything they do from here on out.

That's interesting. Thank you for that info. It definitely felt like I was getting played, especially since I wasn't told prior about this. The recruiter tried to say there was a misunderstanding and even tried to passive aggressively blame my original recruiter for not telling me this. They reasoned they do this to not waste anyone's time, and I'm here feeling that's not fair at all.

Since this has happened I will be keeping my guard up and switching commands if I have to (for example the chance I don't get picked this time).

You can obviously tell by looking at those who submitted on this site and those that were picked up that what they were telling you is not true, the recruiter could have held your application to look good by submitting an application once the new FY takes effect (some from enlisted recruiting play this game) of course any halfway decent recruiter won't have a problem finding officer candidates.

Quick question, did you guys get a confirmation email that your package was received and it is good to go? If so, how long after you submitted your package?
