Anyone know about getting a waiver for a tattoo on the forearm if one was to be selected???

Is your tattoo in navy regulation? If it is than you are good, they don't change the rules for officers.

When you checked your package status last year did it still say that they had received all 5 evals?

The Website said I did, but I had an NOB count as one of them. This time around I submitted 5 oberserved/1 NOB for a total of 6 evals. That is what we are suppose to do right?

I am in the Surface Community but it seems this forum has a lot of useful info. I have applied for the Nurse Corps Option. I have my AA in Health Services Administration, 7 classes left in my BS in Public Health, and am attending San Diego State for my BS in Nursing. I sent my degree plan and my acceptance letter in with my package. I saw a question earlier about additional documents. I submitted 33. I hope it wasn't to much. lol. Good luck everyone!

Thats a thick package. if all 33 docs made your case than all power to you. You know you can score your own package right now? there's some FY08 precepts/ scoring rubric somewhere on this forum, and you can see how those 33 docs might add up for you. scoring might have changed since then but it can't hurt.

Yes. From 1420.1b (Ch. 8): "Certified copies of the last five "observed" enlisted evaluations, if available. “Not-Observed” evaluations should be included for continuity purposes."

That is what I would have done IF I had caught it earlier. I just called the STA21 office though and was told that if there were NO notes in the comment area then everything was good to go. I still just wish I didnt have that hanging over me right now, otherwise I think I'd be much more relaxed.

no it was in Oct, or at least that what the pubs date is... on http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/reference/messages/NAVADMINS/Pages/default.aspx

He is an AWV. He had help from a some officers in his command who went through the program. He has his AS already. But for the LOR's he was told to go "outside the box" for them.

Well it's nice to kind of see some of the "competition". Not many people apply for the med corps since it is pretty much a life commitment. I have my AA degree. My LOR's are pretty conventional. I have one from the Base skipper, Flight surgeon, Physics teacher and a Divo.

Not a d*mn thing you can do now but sit back and enjoy the ride. At this point you've done everything you can do, so sit here and troll this website and enjoy it.

Here's a question for the group:
- Who here has actually seen there package? I.E C.O's endorsement and appraisel sheets?
- Did anyone have to write a rough draft if there own C.O's recommendation letter?

Just wondering because one I've seen it done both ways....

 

[Keith Delgado]

I have seen my package (Don't think your supposed to though), They allowed me to make sure It was good to go before they mailed it in . I wrote my CO's endorsement, He completely changed it. It had more class when he was done with it.

I have not seen my package, except for my CO's recommendation - which I wrote. The copy of the package they sent to Pensacola came back with a copy of the recommendation letter. It was mostly the same but he added his own personality to it. Overall I was impressed that he sent it up the way that I had envisioned it going up. Very positive letter.

I envy you for seeing how it went up (You're right, you're not supposed to see it). It's hard not knowing what was written about you by the CO, and seven other senior Officers that could very well determine your future.
