23MAY2022 SNA/SNFO BOARD

[Dboom85]

That is insane. I wonder if there is a plan in work to fix the backlog. I feel like covid had something to do with it too

There's a rumor going around that the Navy is modifying the pipeline for people that want to go rotorcraft won't do training in the T6 and will just go straight to the T57

That would be interesting. But I don’t know a single person who wants to go helos?

No. The only reason they’re asking people if they wanna fly helos is just so they keep them in Milton for Primary, since intermediate for rotary wing is in Whiting Field….no reason for the Navy to pay so one can move to Texas just to come back

NIFE runs pretty smoothly. Flight portion weather can back it up. But academics they usually start around 30 every week.

One of the instructors said they crammed as many pilots through the end of FY20 knowing they’d have a shortage and weren’t going to be able to pickup as many in FY21 due to budgets. I’m not sure how true that is.

Whiting I’ve heard lack of instructors and maintenance issues (part replacement) due to covid. But at this point who knows. I got my Pro-Rec almost 2 years ago and I’ve yet to get in a T6.

The numbers of SNA's and SNFO's sent to OCS were pretty consistent for years until the FY 22 numbers took a big hit.

If you are MM2, then the OCS date would coincide with your PRD from your current command. This most likely means your CO gave the release date of when you would normally PCS.

Would they even give a civilian an age waiver?

as @FloridaDad said I'm civilian and got an age waiver.

 

[flatspinturkeyb]

Could someone link to the board results for this board? Sorry I couldn't find them

The further over the age limit the more remote it becomes, it has only been in the past few years they allowed it, several years ago when they had an abundance of candidates the rule was hard and fast on age, so much so that if a person was in OCS and had medical hold or was rolled for another reason which would put them over the age limit they would have to redesignate or go home.

It is also important to remember that while NRC "approves" the waiver that is just to be seen at the board, the board itself can still look at the age and say "no".

i was told i can apply a total of 3 times. does anyone know if that is across the board for all branches? like if the Navy denys me 3 times can i apply in another branch?

I think you're confusing ASTB test limits with "limits" on how many times you can apply.

There's no limits with the latter, presuming you still qualify and make improvements to your application.
