It could be dependant on the board members. There have been boards with very high selections and very low selections.
Hey moto boy, if you feel the need to get confrontational about a file you legally cannot view, please take it to DMs.
If I were you, I'd focus on the ASTB first. Recovery from eye surgery will be around 6 months, even though realistically it's much shorter than that. Good luck on both!
Just to clarify application are closed, but does that mean the November board will not take any pilots or that this will be the last board that does this FY?

On gawd lol somebody answer this man.
I would assume they received more well qualified applicants then they were expecting on the first couple of boards. Unless any of you are 31 and about to hit the age limit, I would take the time as a blessing to sort out your life, study, work or do anything else before you spend 2 to 3 years grinding flight school.
I haven't seen anything specific on flank speed saying applications are done for FY25 but I did say previously in the thread I've seen the quotas and it really looks like they already hit the mark. Last year they accepted 1 candidate over their goal, probably from I-SEL or ISPP. I'm not sure if 100% but the PA for ISPP does say if given your flags endorsement and quotas have been hit, NRC will adjust the quota accordingly and send you to OCS regardless.

This has happened a few times, sometimes the board members just pick who they want and let the chips fall where they may, or they picked before hard goals came out, or they picked based on fewer boards vice the multiple boards with fewer selections per board. It also is probable that the numbers include people that haven't made a choice that were picked for multiple designators.

Does anyone know if Marine Corp SNA slots would still be available? I may consider applying to both Navy and Marines.
Im not recruiter or anything, but based on what I have seen online yes there are slots available. Just know that they care more about your PFT score rather than your 8s or 9s on the ASTB.

If you can hold a plank for 3:45, do 23 pullups, and run 3 miles in about 18-20 minutes, you'll be good. When I was going through their poolee program, the Commandant limited USMC SNA slots to a minimum to focus on littoral combat.

I was applying on a similar board to this one first time around. After the board met, pilots were still taken but it was limited for sure. It was the July 2022 board if any of you all want to go back and look at that board. The word on the street for that board was similar to this one, and they closed pilot/NFO for 5 months before reopening it again after that board convened. Meaning you literally could not submit a packet for pilot/NFO during that time and I-SEL was not around then so we all waited and it paid off!
I am a prior SNA from OCS, came home for medical reasoning with a DD-785, recovered from surgery well, and got my waiver approved way before the waiver guide said! Very thankful for that, but now I have to go up for review again on this board! I’m in a different situation than most but still have to go up for review!
Best of luck!

Did you have to wait the normal time for the results to come out after the july board, or did they tell you immediately after the board convened it was closed for all pilots & NFOs?
What surgery if you don’t mind saying ?

The results if I remember correctly was the standard within 3-weeks of convening. I was on that board and didn’t get selected…. Found out afterwards it was completely closed, and I waited about 5 months or so gauged the first board since then, saw a lot of people picked up, and went up on the next one and was selected.
At first I was upset with having to wait so long, but during that time I retook the ASTB went from a 6/7/7 to a 7/8/7, took a promotion at work, built flying hours, and had a much stronger packet.
The time flew by and next thing you know a year and a half later felt like a week and I was in 10 degree snowy weather at OCS! (I’m from AZ LOL)

Back surgery, now some people at OCS are able to stay, and get the surgery, then roll back into the next class. It just depends on the type of surgery. I knew a couple people in the student pool who had surgery at OCS, Navy took care of it, and they went back into the next class once cleared/passed PRT again.
I was in a unique situation, still am in a unique situation, you hear a lot of people say “stay the course, keep your head up” and that is 100% true. If you want something bad enough there is always a way! You just have to build your network, remain on course, and work harder than anyone else!
I just need approval from the aviation board members to return to OCS now, and I’m going up in front of this board. Now it is medical related, it’s usually a no brainer, but still I have to prove that I am the same/more improved person that I was when I was selected as an SNA
