Going for the January Board but wishing all of you the best of luck over the next few days!

Is there any date when they are supposed to letting the Officer Recruiters know the results?

I got a class date, but I want to know when we should get the official papers/results.

As far as I know, there’s not a fixed date that NRC is required to publish the results. There are some administrative steps after the board convening and then the results are released.

What he said. We will get the results when we get them, ideally however we are hoping for sometime this week.

Here's a question for the room: How common is it that seats open up earlier than your ship date and you can get moved up? I know I can't be the only one hoping for this, with the board scheduling people (myself included) in June, July, Aug, etc.
Obviously nothing is concrete until that letter is in-hand. But assuming these ship date yesses hold true, does anyone know the consistency of dates getting changed?

I've seen previous SNA/NFO threads where people were able to get their OCS dates moved around and in some cases get an earlier class date. However I've also seen the other end of the spectrum where people have gotten even later OCS dates than they were originally assigned. If I had to guess, it comes down to available spots in class rosters and accession numbers. You can ask your OR to get you shipped out to the earliest class possible but it probably just comes down to luck and availability. I know some of us probably want to get to OCS as soon as possible, myself included, but I'm still living with the mindset that if I get a ProRec-Y that I'm probably not going to be shipping for another ~6 months. It sucks, but there's not much we can do about it besides filling your time with work, studies, or whatever gets you to the next sleep.

Okay Folks, got the "unofficial" official from my recruiter last week. According to my recruiter, everyone that got selected has already been assigned an OCS date. My recruiter also told me that this was the last SNA board for FY21, meaning any future board SNA selects will not ship till 2022 for WuhanFlu reasons. Got a call from a Navy chief asking whether I was going to accept given my significant wait time. That pretty much seals it for me regarding whether or not I got the nod. Spreadsheet updated accordingly.

I just have to say that I love that immediately after someone says something about news from a recruiter, I rush to the spreadsheet and see like 10 people looking at it as well haha

Here's a thought, if you have a long wait time... Great! More time to prepare. If your date gets moved around, great! More opportunity to get familiar with uncertainty. Last minute change to your OCS date, great! More challenges to face and overcome.

I'm hoping to get pushed forward so I don't have to deal with applying for an age waiver... Other than that I couldn't care less.

A Navy Chief called you? This is the first time I've heard about anything like that. Do you mind sharing with us any more details about the conversation? Or did he just tell you that there was going to be a long waiting period if you accepted?

Sound's like we're getting closer and closer to getting ProRec letters any day now.

Has any AD heard from their commands for results? Also how are y’all looking up personnel in cantrac isn’t it just CIN and class names with quotas (no names attached)?

I'm AD and

I'm active duty and haven't heard anything yet. BOL should show results once posted. Folks with Cetars access can see actual names in classes but AD won't be on there due to our Skippers having to give release dates.

So at this point it is safe to assume if you do not have a class date then you were not selected?
