12 JUN 17 IWC Board

[Andrew Moy]

Thank you for the information and advice. I figured my degree being STEM (I have taken up to calc 2, biochemistry, and one semester of physics with calculus) and what I did as a civilian, which I outlined in my personal statement, had a lot of similarities to Intel in relation to the skill sets needed (attention to detail, analytical thinking, data collection/organization, etc). I have worked in many different fields of science, and what I have found is that you don't necessarily need to have an entire background history in a specific field to do the job and do it will. You just need the determination, proper training, and taking all that you have learned in the past and apply it to the new job at hand (adaptation). However, I will start looking at other options as well.

The boards don't care about your civilian experience unless you're applying for a reserve program. I would argue that EVERY officer position involves attention to detail, analytical thinking, data collection/organization which gets rid of that argument for Intel.

If your overall goal is officer/Ensign consider SWO and maybe even Supply with your background.

Pro-Y for Intel! Better late than never!

Put a W down for a non-STEM, first-round applicant to Intel! Woo!

Rufio,
I'm trying to find out if my package was reviewed during the most recent IW Board for IP. I submitted in December and it was a No. I submitted a reconsideration for the March board, but a civilian, Paul Celestin notified me that my package was not reviewed and would be pushed to the June Board. I do not see any results in BOL. Could you please advise? Thank you very much. -IT1 Grounds

It could have been pushed due to the 6 month wait between boards without significant change in application.

Anyone pro-rec’d from this board that wasn’t already active duty get their finsel letter yet?

 

[T. Blue]

I have been given a tentative class up date for 19NOV17, however still no final confirmation? When could I expect to receive the final approval? I am active duty. I was given this date on 18OCT17 from the OCS Fleet Processor.

 

[42Zulu]

Yeah, I have an "unofficial" FINSELs for this class. Called my recruiter for follow up today and she says they think the pipeline is just backlogged.

If you've been told this date it seems like we're just waiting to get our batch of FINSELs signed off. I was told expect it in the next week or so.
