05MAY2025 SNA/SNFO Board

[ATGlad517]

Was submitting for ISPP any different from a normal package? I’ve got my normal one in right now but wanna make sure I make at least a board somewhere along the line

I submitted for ISPP. Everything is pretty much the same; the major differences are that you need an endorsement from the first Flag Officer in your chain of command, have to be active duty and need an excellent on the most recent PRT but it can be mocked. Submit to Paul Celestin from N3 (NRC) as normal. Then it's just a waiting game like everyone else. From what I've been told by everyone, including my own Skipper, it is a HUGE leg up compared to everyone else applying. If you are active, definitely go for it. If, for some reason, your Flag Officer doesn't endorse you, you can still continue to apply normally. Contacting Paul directly, I knew the same day that my package was good and off to the next board.

Good info, many AD aren't aware of this program.

Be aware the ISPP and Aviation program authorizations are not available currently, they are probably being updated/revised, to prevent any panic this is something that is a normal thing.

Do you also need a certain ASTB score?

Do you also need a certain ASTB score?

Everything else is the same as PA 106. Same minimum scores, same scores for I-Sel, etc.

The last posted PA listed 5/5/5

I-SEL for SNFO is triple 6 and SNA is triple 7, ISPP is triple 5

Since the ISPP and the aviation PA are down right now I would verify the info I have posted when the new PA's are posted.

good info, thanks y’all, I’ll definitely look into ISPP or I-sel depending on how my current application goes

Oh gotcha, thanks. I’ll look into that. Already submitted package for May board as deadline was last week for fleet applicants but we’ll see how it goes.

I thought it was 4 5 5?

I thought it was triple 5's however with the PA down I am not 100% sure. They have changed it over the years as to what the minimums were needed.

Recruiter is still telling me this board is closed. Anyone else heard anything concrete about this?

I emailed the Active Programs Manager from the General Officer Accessions N311/N319 (NRC). He told me the FY25 Pilot is closed but the May board is still open for FY26 applications and they start shipping in July. This was on March 12th. I-Sel still being accepted.

Thanks man. Is it open for all applicants or i-sel only?

Open for everyone. I-Sel is rolling.

Alright thanks, will tell my recruiter what you said tomorrow, maybe that can change something. Though at this point I'm wondering if they're not as keyed into aviation.

Are they not letting you apply or something?
