01JUN26 SNA/SNFO board

Has anyone looked at the contract yet? Anything we need to be cautious of while reading over it or any ways they will try to trick us before we sign it? Just want to be careful.
 
Just out of curiosity, about how many SNAs per class typically get selected for the P-8/maritime pipeline? And how competitive is getting P-8 compared to selecting Strike/fighters?

It's hard to give an exact number bc the selection every week is based on what CNATRA needs at that point in time. The week I selected, there were maybe 2 maritime slots available across TW-4 and TW-5 and I just happened to be one of the guys who selected; funny enough, my current roommate was the other one who selected maritime that week. Other weeks, there could be a bunch available and anyone with decent enough grades can get it

I'd say it's somewhat competitive to get picked up for maritime. Most people who get a 50 NSS or higher are studs who want the strike pipeline or something adjacent. Statistically speaking, most people who don't meet that tail hook grade requirement will end up getting rotary, so it's more or less a fight to get anything else. TACAMO and COD are particularly difficult to get, not because people are fighting over the spots, but because there are so few of them that replacing those spots happens pretty much randomly; people know about the helo draft, but there is also a good chance that people can get TACAMO drafted if a slot is available but no one has it on their list (I had a friend that this happened to)

Edit: COD also has very random selection. When I was going thru primary, that whole pipeline was closed off for selection for a couple months before they re-opened it right before I finished. When I was in advanced, I think I maybe knew less than 10 COD studs

I finally received travel orders, and they have me landing over half a day late after the 12am check in

Now we’re trying to get a new itinerary, but I’m told “no promises”
