I went directly from AD to AGR, so I've never not been full-time and accruing TAFMS.

I wouldn't risk leaving your full time career in hopes of getting an Intel spot, especially when you are already over the 120 months. Yes you can get a waiver to go to board, but those accepted over 120 or for other waiverable situations are done so in "limited numbers". This means not only are you competing against everyone else to get a spot but you are also competing against those who also have waivers to be one of the "limited numbers", that competition could be a sailor in the IWC field with a great GPA and degree who is a rockstar, or it could be someone that did 10 years and nothing really notable, who knows?
Oof, I appreciate that candor and clarity. My career is just kind of a dead end. Arabic is being divested and my state cuts us at 20 years, so I won't be able to work my way to a substantial pension and I won't have the best job security coming out of it. If I don't land something now or in October I imagine I'll let myself ETS next year and pursue lawschool.

Congrats!! I want to apply for that too, but I need a conditional release from the Navy before that happens. I'm applying for one, so if I don't get picked up on this board and the conditional release is approved I'll be putting in a package for that as well. Good luck and best wishes to you!
We can be WAFL's together. I'm 37, will be 38 by the OCS rolls around...if I get selected. Life experience says a lot, and you have stellar marks, so I bet you're going be selected.
Competition is looking fierce. I dig it.
Here are my stats:
Sex: F
Age: 37
OAR: 55
GPA: 3.2 Undergrad - 3.89 Grad to date (still enrolled)
Major: Bach. Architecture. Working on grad certificate in Intelligence Studies to be rolled into Masters in whatever bolsters my career.
A little late to the game some would say, but I had some living to do before I was ready for this.
Best of luck everyone!

I have the list of all the packages who are at the board. DM me if you'd like to verify if your name is on it! Luckily mine is actually there this time -- and there are 98 (!) applicants this go around!

The quota is actually now 31 instead of 27, as of 6 February, so even better!
This means roughly 1 in 3 people will be selected—allowing for a certain number of Hail Marys and random 3rd choice packets, it seems like we have quite a good shot this time around.

I really hope you're right...I also hope that I'm not a hail Mary, but some of you are throwing up some incredible stats so I'm a little worried Haha Second choice was Supply and they're looking at 165 spots to fill, so worse case scenario, I'll be the one helping make sure you have the goods you need
Haha I am not an expert but I don't think you're a Hail Mary...I was thinking more of people with multiple waivers or who are really gunning for another community. I have seem some of the ex-recruiters say that applicants who know they are uncompetitive sometimes insist on dropping a packet because they will regret it if they don't try, or on the off chance that a miracle happens, or they are really aiming for another designator and think of IWC as a backup. I don't have any data to corroborate, but if those people make up a substantial fraction of applicants then that improves the outlook for those of us focusing mostly on 1830I really hope you're right...I also hope that I'm not a hail Mary, but some of you are throwing up some incredible stats so I'm a little worried Haha Second choice was Supply and they're looking at 165 spots to fill, so worse case scenario, I'll be the one helping make sure you have the goods you need
