A submission does not mean it will be at the next board, your recruiter should know this.

Often it is before the board starts, if they do an at board list.@exNavyOffRec do we know when the names of those who will be on the may board will be released?

Hawaii recruiter said they were told no more apps could be submitted for May board due to it being full.
The AVO is a lot more competitive, they early cut a lot of applicants and only selected 10. I can’t imagine them picking up many more, with the program just standing up.Here we go, latest Top Gun 2 trailer dropped. Just watch, a week after may 27th there's going to be a lot more forum members thinking they can join the Navy in just a couple of months. Also, a lot of them will probably be fooled into the Aerial Vehicle Operator warrant officer program
Well supposedly from my friend at NIFE rn says all of the next couple of class at NIFE are going to be dedicated to them so I could imagine the amount of people they have in the pipeline isn’t small.The AVO is a lot more competitive, they early cut a lot of applicants and only selected 10.

I believe they are shooting for the same number of selects this board as well. I watched a video put out by the OCM’s and they mentioned they don’t want a lot of people in the pipeline right now since it’s still getting established.The AVO is a lot more competitive, they early cut a lot of applicants and only selected 10.

That could be a huge game changed for applying then. That may open the pool more than I thought.Well supposedly from my friend at NIFE rn says all of the next couple of class at NIFE are going to be dedicated to them so I could imagine the amount of people they have in the pipeline isn’t small.
My son is in NIFE rn, and 4or 5 AVO warrant officers are in his classWell supposedly from my friend at NIFE rn says all of the next couple of class at NIFE are going to be dedicated to them so I could imagine the amount of people they have in the pipeline isn’t small.
My guess is because the Drone pipeline is so new, Naval Aviation Command will eventually develop its own training schools and in the meantime, they will use NIFE and possibly other SNA/SNFO schools to train the drone pilots which is unfortunate not only for the selected but us too. This is all my speculation, don't take it as law. My friend's exact text was "Apparently NIFE is going to be really backed up for a few weeks because they're allocating a bunch of classes solely for UAV pilots." This could explain the lack of spots on these next boards.My son is in NIFE rn, and 4or 5 AVO warrant officers are in his class

In the press releases it said they would take 10 years to get up to 450 so with attrition estimate around 50 per year, how many students are allowed in each NIFE class?My guess is because the Drone pipeline is so new, Naval Aviation Command will eventually develop its own training schools and in the meantime, they will use NIFE and possibly other SNA/SNFO schools to train the drone pilots which is unfortunate not only for the selected but us too.

I have no idea, that text was all I got from my buddy. I think he finished studying navigation last week and now he's studying radio communication. He's in the thick of it foshoIn the press releases it said they would take 10 years to get up to 450 so with attrition estimate around 50 per year, how many students are allowed in each NIFE class?
No I got picked up for SNA, but a friend of mine was one of the AVOs selected.I believe they are shooting for the same number of selects this board as well. I watched a video put out by the OCM’s and they mentioned they don’t want a lot of people in the pipeline right now since it’s still getting established.

I submitted my packet for SNA in September 2021 for the May 2022 board, my status (as of March 8th) was "Awaiting Pro-board". Does that mean anything other than I'm just waiting for the board to convene in May? In other words, does this confirm that I made it into the board? Thanks in advance.

Anyone else having issues getting into MEPS? I’ve been waiting for a month now and my recruiter still hasn’t heard back from them. I just want to make sure I’m in soon enough to actually make the August board at this point haha. I’m literally sitting here just waiting…
