February 25th dashboard (posted in the spreadsheet) but its been wrong or the board hasn't stuck to it so far, it initially stated the board was closed then people who submitted the day before the deadline made the at board list. It's also not guaranteed the board is sticking to these numbers

So far the numbers have been fairly correct, if they pick more than the listed amount they are robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Looking back on the previous boards, it was understandable results were usually released after a month from the board date because they selected around 100+ for SNAs. Just curious, but why is it taking them until the 21st to release the results when selections are so low for this board? It just seems that it shouldn't take that long to release results for only 39 snas and 32 nfos unless the board is selecting more??

Id also like to see the dashboard from last October to see how many selects it said, since they did end up picking 101 SNAs.

Also I know the new dashboard says 40 SNAs but FY23 quotas havent been released yet, they will in July, so how do they know to only select 40 SNA?

well once you check in to NASC after OCS, you'll have a lot of shit going on, NAMI (should be a lot quicker than OCS), indoc, history and ethics class, anthros, flight suit fitting, PRT....all that jazz will be your first 2-3 weeks typically. after NAMI clears you, they will schedule you for Water Survival, however, if you don't feel confident swimming you can request to go to remedial swim, just to make sure you pass. after that, you wait the next 6-9 months to class up as an SNA (NFOs class up faster). during all this time you stand watch once or twice a week, and once or twice every five weeks on your duty weekend. You can try to get a stash job, which is doing a specific job (chaplain assistant, flight management, Navy and Marine Corps Relief Society, Life Guard at the pool, among others) which will provide you a more consistent schedule, a couple hours a couple days a week, and you don't stand watch if you do this. However, depending on the job you might end up working more hours that if you had regular duty, but you will for sure not work weekends. Once your first month is up, and you're done with swim, you'll have a good amount of free time, which they stress should be used for studying the NIFE pubs and staying in shape, which I agree with. Also, every day you fill out a form to let the school house know that you're accounted for. You muster with your duty section once a week in person. Also, there are all hands events all the time too, where the entire school house gets together, such a safety stand down (don't use a deep fryer to cook a turkey in THanksgiving kinda thing), or other things.

what do you mean? like asking for results?

is the classing up duration (6-9 months) included in the time it typically takes to complete flight school which people say is 2-2.5 years? Or is that added on to flight school completion averages? If that’s the case, winging after commissioning takes closer to 3 years.

I am fairly sure it was about 100 for the board goal, but the goals for FY 22 came out after the board was given the candidates and it was a drastic drop, so perfect storm.

Goals can come out between November and February, the November update was the earliest I remember and the February was the latest I ever saw.

They estimate based on last years goals, a rough example is if they need 100 of a designator shipped to OCS NRC will set the selection goal at 150 then divided by the number of boards (say 4) which is 37/38 per board. This should result in about half of the selection goal being picked by the time the hard goals come out and then if they need to adjust they do.

Looking at the DCO HE OFF NUKE Dashboard 3 Jun 22 spreadsheet on the MPTE SharePoint, SNA/SNFO select GOAL is 40/33 per board, but they can select up to 61/49 based off the 1st and 2nd Choice Kits. It looks as if they're trying to reach their FY22 board select GOAL of 400, but they can always exceed a goal. The issue may arise of they select too many SNA/SNFO that it can skew their year group, but they also have seen a drastic decline in retention past the required 10 years of service as many personnel are leaving to pursue other career opportunities. I'm hoping to see a hearty list of PROREC for this board!

How do you get sharepoint access? I have a CAC , or is it like private access list for recruiters only?

When I get back home and have access to my computer, I will send the link. I'm AD, and have used tons of SharePoints in the past, so they're stock standard. You do request access using a CAC, but from what I have been gathering, it seems to be auto approval.

For my own sanity I am choosing to believe that the whole 39 SNA/32 SNFO quota is just a very loose guideline. Surely they will choose more because of retention issues and other reasons the DOD and Navy aren't telling us ! Anything to keep me from losing my mind while waiting...

The 61/49 is not a goal, it is the max they set to allow to be seen, so out of 61 they would pick 40 but instead of doing that they pushed all available to the board which is now a ton of applicants (this is what was normally done).

They already reached that goal, while they can select up to 400 it is the OCS shipping goal that is key and the attained number, also attained + applicants pro Y will tell you how many they have selected total. So if the select goal is 400 and they shipped 280 to OCS and have 250 pro Y that is 530 they have selected for FY 22 and also FY 23, so they are already deep into FY 23 spots.

retention issues have nothing to do with accessions, the USN has a cap of officers that they cannot go above.

the per board guideline is flexible but it just takes the more from a set number allowed per FY, sure they can take 80 this time but that means there are 40 less to pick for the rest of what is really FY 23 spots available.
