Hmm, it’s tough because the deadline to submit is at the end of the month but there’s some conflicting information right now. Recruiter also said that these are posted by the program manager which is separate from NRC. Not much time for things to be clarified but I really hope you guys have the right info.

Unfortunately won't be on this board due to waiting for my 6-month post-op PRK appointment (Feb. 2). However, I do plan on submitting a packet for the May board. Wish y'all the best of luck, and I hope the high selection rate continues for FY26!

Good luck man! That wait is the worst :( I missed the september and november boards because of it. Glad to hopefully be getting an acceptance soon.

I applied for pilot 2 times but didn’t get selected. I retook the ASTB and qualified for I-SEL for NFO. I would rather be in the Navy in aviation than not. It was the fastest way for me to get in, but now the board schedule changed it’s hard to not want to try and give pilot another shot.

You would need to decline then go through the process to be allowed to apply again, odds of that happening in 2 weeks are remote and even then you would need to hope the board would overlook the decline. You would also need to hope those you are competing against aren't as competitive as you.

Sounds like it’s for everyone, just spoke to my recruiter today. Trying to submit for this one, not sure if i’m gonna make it to meps before the deadline though.

My recruiter said this is only a BDCP board and that NRC is not currently accepting SNA packages... However it sounds like some non BDCP applicants made it on here. Maybe the packages that were already submitted and rolled from previous boards are getting looked at. Best of luck to anyone who can get on this board! Ill be waiting for the May one because of MEPS nonsense.

Speaking of meps nonsense. They require 2 manifest refractions 30 days apart from each other post Op PRK or Lasik to show that your vision is stable. Make sure they do a manifest refraction at your post Op. For whatever reason my eye doc did not do one after the surgery and though it was not needed because i was 20/10.
FYI Meps will do one for you. So as long as your eye doc does one Meps will do the second.
I now have to wait another 30 days before the next one (fortunately not at MEPS) to then submit for N3M letter.
