I would imagine they want to be able to advertise your billet and get it somewhat filled first. Eh, at least you know you are going.Not yet man. Projecting Feb or March according to my Chain.

I can’t confirm this, but that sounds right. Re-taking the ASTB nullifies the previous scores on your application, so you’d have to re-apply with the new scoresI applied for the may board and did not get selected but I was informed a few days ago that I got picked up from the latest supply board. I want to reapply for pilot and was planning on retaking the astb to improve my package but my recruiter said I would have to decline supply to do so. Is this true
Gotcha that makes sense. I'm nervous turning down supply cause its a good backup plan and this will be my last attempt on the astb but in the long term I don't think I'd be satisfied taking supply and not trying again for SNAI can’t confirm this, but that sounds right.

That sounds about right.I applied for the may board and did not get selected but I was informed a few days ago that I got picked up from the latest supply board.

I submitted everything back in early march and my recruiter really encouraged me to put down supply also so I did not really thinking it would come to this. Will it hurt my chances if I decline it? Also I've read that you have to have a substantial change to a package in order to reapply within six months so that is why I was planning on retaking it.That sounds about right.
Why did you apply for supply? I think the general consensus is that you should not apply for something if you don't want it.
If your heart is set on SNA and only SNA then obvi go for it. (also you have decent ASTB scores you could probably roll the dice on this next SNA/SNFO board if you wanted to)
Honestly I don't really know if it will hurt your chances since the supply community != aviation community.I submitted everything back in early march and my recruiter really encouraged me to put down supply also so I did not really thinking it would come to this.

NFO's log 0 flight hours and NFO to SNA is possible but is not something to set yourself up for. A total of 5 people were selected last time for NFO to SNA. You can't bank on going NFO and expect to be able to get SNA at some point, from what I've seen, timing is critical as well and it's extremely competitive. SO to answer your question, an NFO can not come out of the Navy and then go commercial, they'll have no flight hours under their belt and that's all the commercial aviation world is looking for.I heard of people doing that as well, applying for SNA, getting NFO and turning it down to reapply, but I'm wondering say someone takes NFO, could they potentially lead that to a flying career later on, whether it'd be commercial or even NFO to SNA (i hear is extremely difficult but not impossible)?
If you want to fly and don't care if it ain't just for the Navy look into:Makes sense, I guess I'm going to have to really bite down and hope SNA comes my way. This is probably one of my last shots. I'm turning 27 this year, and would love to fly, but part of me is now wanting to just serve (the thought of enlisting in the Marines crossed my mind, though id be really old compared to others, doing something I probably don't want to do, but hey I'd be a Marine lol)
I lasted 13 years in Ohio. It's not THAT bad! There are much worse places out there, like Mississippi ?I think I dream everyday about walking out and climbing into a T-6 ? I'm ready for a scenery change big time from college / home. One can only take so many years in Ohio......
This. I'm turning 29 in November and applying USMC (with age waiver), Navy, and I'm looking at Army WOFT as a last resort.If you want to fly and don't care if it ain't just for the Navy look into:
1. Air National Guard units you can fly with
2. Army National Guard units you can fly with
3. Army Warrant Officer
4. Marine Corps flying (might be hitting the age limit on this one but check with a recruiter)
5. Airforce
6. Going the commercial route; might need to take on some debt to do this one - heard there might be programs that you can apply for with companies like United that will foot the bill for you
