I’ll trade you! They gave me November 27th

Well I am freaking out, I’m AD so I was fortunate to know a week ago. Was waiting on my OCS date and that results list have me going October 16th. My skipper requested end of November as my wedding is November 12th.

My recruiter said he’d call me today so we’ll see

Just got off the phone with my recruiter, he said since I was slated for FY24 the earliest class date I could receive is July 2023. He did say that that's subject to change though, and he'll keep monitoring to see when an actual date shows up.

many SNAs are waiting to class up here...I'm surprised they're still picking up so many new pilots tbh

From what I hear, there's more than one hundred SNAs in Pensacola waiting for NIFE

people currently at NIFE and people waiting to class up add up to close to 900

do you know how big the class sizes typically are for NIFE?

The whole pipeline is bottlenecked from what I hear, but it seems lots are just waiting for NIFE I. I didn't expect it to be that many though

Based off the 900 number I assume it's SNA and SNFO that are waiting? Seams like NFO pipeline isn't as backed up as pilot..

Who would I email and how would I go about it? Does it go through the recruiter or is it a direct email? What kind of details would I express?

I’m in the same situation and would also like to know how this is done.

I did not request NFO, have zero interest in NFO and, despite many years of pursuing a career in the Navy will likely drop it and go civilian if there’s no recourse. If I were interested in anything else it would have been naval intelligence and I didn’t request that either.

Y'all got some shady recruiters man. I feel like officer recruiters don't even face the same kind of pressure that the enlisted ones do, so I don't even know why they would try to pull something like this. It just doesn't seem right that you only apply for pilot and the board just comes out of left field and is like "AKSHUALLY, you'd make a better NFO".

For those accepted this board, congrats.

I am looking at retaking the ASTB and reapplying the next board. Also trying to beef up my package by taking some flight lessons and redoing my motivational statement. For those that were accepted, what did your motivational statements look like? Also, do you have any recommendations on what else I can do to make myself look better? I know ASTB is number one but how much does flight experience help?

Thanks in advance.
