01JUN26 SNA/SNFO board

nvm redundant answer

Just because a board date is listed on the schedule, doesn't mean it actually convenes on that date. It can convene before, on, or even after the date listed.

The Navy can finally give us some sort of date and the damned thing still doesn’t mean anything

I’ve learned that everyone from the recruiter to NRC can’t even accurately ballpark timelines for even individual steps.

ISEL packages from 4+ months ago are really going to hear back at the same time as the regular board lol

Edit: I know I complain a lot. Consider it proof I was a submariner

This link has a paper explaining what the whole process/reasoning was. There's a section talking about the LPSS score (Called LCSS in the paper).

I’m actually at an LCAC command so this is pretty cool to read

All submariners complain, but perhaps nukes complain just a bit more

I wonder who’s going to be the first to hear back

Usually it’s y’all AD guys, no?

I separated May 2025, applied as a regular ISEL applicant in February

Had to do MEPS a second time and everything (it was pretty weird)

Gotcha. Thought you were still in. You had to do MEPS again within a year of getting out?

@GalticJohn FIFY again

@exNavyOffRec I may be downplaying it a bit, but we deserve to complain about plenty of things

Hi everyone, long time lurker here. I sent my recruiter all the forms he requested in October of last year, after passing the ASTB and MEPS. He confirmed receiving the forms and submitted my application. Now this is partially my mistake, but I assumed everything went according to plan and now it's a waiting game. Then, in April 2026, a Navy Officer Processor reached out to me and had me send more forms, some I've previously done such as the motivational statement, and some were new. This follow up surprised me and had me thinking if there was something wrong or if my application had not been submitted yet.

My recruiter just texted me today saying "unfortunately you did not make it this cycle". As an off the street applicant for SNA, it is my understanding that the boards have yet to convene for us folks/have been cancelled so far. I was wondering if anyone had some insights on my situation? I am also reaching out to my recruiter for clarification, but he isn't the most communicative. Thanks!

Packets have to be at the board a month prior to the convening date for off the street applicants. Packets for the June 1st board were due in May.
