31OCT22 SNA/SNFO BOARD

[OptionsDollaraire]

If we do in fact find out results before thanksgiving I’m going to go so fucking hard on thanksgiving dinner assuming I get selected

What if you went out of weight regs because you ate too much and they rescind your slot?

Jesus take the wheel

Or you’ll find it here and beat your recruiter to it

When I applied for NFO in May 2021, the entire list found its way here on AW right before my recruiter called me

It’ll probably go that way here as well. Especially if it is around a holiday and recruiters are with their families or whatever

I know it’s really looked down upon to do that but low key I’m so down to get the list before the official announcement is made

Either way you’re finding out and then it’s time to either figure out how to make yourself more competitive for future boards or time to pivot your mentality towards prepping for what’s ahead

 

[ChandosT]

True. It honselty sounds exciting to look through a list of names finding mine and seeing if I was selected.

Kinda like that idea better than a phone call or a text.

It’s kinda like when you’re not sure if you’re gonna make a team and you see your name on the roster list and not the cut list.

 

[OptionsDollaraire]

Ugh the dreaded feeling of looking through the list and not seeing your name… hope none of us have to go through that

Yeah save the pro-rec N’s for people that don’t chill in this thread

 

[ChandosT]

Lollll, what if we get selected and all have the same class dates. Very unlikely it would actually happen like that but, that reunion at the airport and meeting everyone would be so cool lol.

Would be sick but I’ll likely be behind you guys. Still gotta finish my degree and if I get BDCP your boy will be milking that benefit. 2 years of free service times to put me at 7 years before putting the uniform back on??? Yes please

 

[ChandosT]

When's your expected graduation date?

I’m doing my long term degree plan with my advisor this week which will be part of my application but I’m looking at probably spring of ‘24 so basically 2 more full school years. Took calc 4 over the summer to get it over with so that helped a little bit. Math requirement complete.

 

[ChandosT]

I’ve got a pretty good timeline that I feel good about. 2 years of BDCP to get me to 7 years of service. Wings take 2-3 years to get so that takes me to about 10. Do a decade as an aviator. Retire at 20 probably as an O-4. 3 maybe 4 deployments in that time, platform dependent. Easy day.

 

[exNavyOffRec]

For this board we’re supposedly going to have results by thanksgiving

No one has anyway to know if that will happen or not, there are many things NRC has to do on the back end.

Yeah he was probably just blowing smoke up my ass. It is what it is.

 

[WorldWar33.3]

I remember when I found out I didn't get selected last year, I texted my recruiter saying I found out about the bad news, so I'll get Lasik.

He replied like 3 weeks later and said "Yeah man that sucks. Good luck!" Lol
