My recruiter was telling me it’s kind of the luck of the draw. Because my scores are not competitive. When the person at the board looks at my other accolades. It might be that they hold being a Eagle Scout near and dear to their heart or that I volunteer. It really does come down to luck for me because of my scores.

your 7 for PFAR isn't bad, but when it comes to aviation it is about scores, if you were going for Supply then the extra stuff might hold weight, depending on how competitive the next board is will really play into your chances.

Last boards results show that at least 5-6 people got picked up with minimum scores and another handful with just above. Boards before had similar results and the one before that...No way to quantify how the selection is going to go. What we do know is that we are the last board for the FY. With all the confusion OR's refused to submit candidates scores. My processor told me that he put in half of the applications he usually does. Now how widespread that is, I do not know.

Hard deadline is today and most NRC's had to submit yesterday. Now for those that submitted is to just wait a small 45 days.

Now might be the best time to go over Bravo and assume selection. Or start studying for a retest if you are not confident. Either way take the initiative and better yourself. Nobody can predict your selection.

Is there a solid forum for Navy OCS study material? I attended 9 weeks of Marine Corps OCS before getting injured. It seems like a good amount of basic information is the same, but I'm not sure where to start with anything past that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes work on your fitness. You should already, if not really challenge yourself. Do yourself the favor. Also, the knowledge for the most part will not change. If you are dead-set on the Navy/Corp. All things you will need to know. Plus, nobody want to be the one that is not prepared. Sounds like a moral issue in the making for you and your shipmates. Look for prior boards and most post "Bravo knowledge study guides" @reed1327 I think this answers most of your question. Get as much info as you can. Familiarize yourself with customs and courtesies. So be ready to refer to yourself in the 3rd person.

So in terms of the wait there is only 46 days until the board (25 Jan). Then, if we want to use current trend to estimate our results date of around 89 days given results are usually on a Tuesday. We have a grand total of 89 days (9 Mar).

But wait! theyre board convened a week early! so subtract 7 days. 81 Days possibly! Place your bets ladies and gentlemen!

I think you know my opinion. Isn't the next boards like 6 months or so after ours?

next board's supposed to be in May25th I think....with a deadline of April 9....so yeah is a bit of a longer wait....the good thing is that in case one does not get selected, should give enough time to retest and reapply....I mean no fucking way we do not know the results by April

Celiac's is also disqualifying...until you're already in aviation and then they're just "oh, well make sure to avoid gluten, here's your upchit". Wonder what other random stuff is disqualifying...

The horror, the horror! Dramatically faints

So do OR's submit any details about the applicant? I was wondering, whats to stop someone who might have the scores to make it. Just not the people skills or drive...
