Is anyone aware of an at-board list for this board being out yet? I have read before that sometimes Intel boards do not release one and my recruiter doesn't see one yet, but I figured I'd ask to be certain as the board is tomorrow.

NRC, not the board itself releases an at-board list for each board. This Intel board isn’t an exception either...

Don't know if this is the right place to post but since my recruiter said he didn't know the answer I'll give it a shot.
I applied for Intel and NFO back in December. My recruiter at the time told me to put NFO as my first choice since I had good ASTB scores and it would show initiative to list NFO first. I agreed, but told him that Intel was my actual first choice and that even if I was selected for NFO, I would want to wait for Intel board results. He said that I can do that, and I have it in writing.
Flash forward to a week or two ago, and my new recruiter informs me that I'm PRO-REC'd Y for NFO and that because NFO was listed first, I will not be receiving any results from the Intel board. I explained my situation and reiterated that I still want a shot at Intel, and he didn't really address my concerns. Followed up with him again today and he said he'd have to get back to me on whether or not it's possible. Anyone have experience in this area? Just to be clear I am still thrilled with my PRO-REC and will be accepting it if Intel is off the table.

Once you're selected for your first choice your second, third, etc. choices get automatically removed. You can't "reapply" and wait to be selected for another program WHILE still being a PROREC Y NFO.

Ok thanks. So my recruiter didn't have the correct information?

The name is meant to be hopeful.
What is the process for the other way around? For example, Intel (this board) was my first selection, but Pilot/NFO were after that. My package was submitted in time for the Feb 7 board (NFO), but I have not heard a word from my recruiter. Does my potential acceptance for those slots get put on hold until my first choice is reviewed?

Call your OR and ask for an update on the Pilot/NFO results.

Maybe someone can offer up some wisdom on my situation currently:
Applying: SWO , INTEL
Degree: BS Psychology, MS Neuroscience
GPA: 3.7
OAR: 55
AGE: 24
A lot of leadership experience, currently work in scientific research. 8 Letters of Rec.
My recruiter said we should put SWO first although my first choice was INTEL...bc she said I’d most likely get SWO. I got PRO-N for SWO and am waiting for INTEL results. Anyone know why I would get passed up for SWO? Do the boards communicate at all?
Good luck everyone!

You and I appear to be in a similar boat. I work in economic research; writing NLP machine learning (generic buzz word term) algorithms. I haven't been able to find any information regarding if boards speak to one another.
My recruiter mentioned they recently received a memo needing Cyber officers and anyone who is remotely qualified should put in an application. He mentioned the Cyber Warfare Officer is different from the Cyber Warfare Engineer, though I can't find any information on CWO.
I suppose we will find out in a few days if any of this is true.

CWO is what used to be called IW, very hard to get into, basically the people they take into IP are the same people they would take into CWO, and with about a 10% selection rate I seriously doubt there are needing anyone, there are many highly qualified people on this site that were just turned down that wanted to go into CWO

Probably referring to cyber Warfare engineer

I asked him that reference CWE. I don't have the CS degree required for CWE, even though I have the technical background given my job. He said CWO such @NavyOffRec mentioned.
Either way, I'm confused as to what the Navy wants and their requirements regarding the IWC fields, but they will let me know in a week or so.
