AC NFO and Intel Updates

[FormerRecruitingGuru]

All,

This is coming straight from NRC. Both active duty NFO and Intel programs are officially closed, meaning applications will not be accepted at this time. If you're still applying, you are encouraged to either wait and apply later this summer when OCS spots are needed or apply for other programs (Pilot, IW, etc.) if you meet the certain criteria and don't want to wait.

For clarifying info, "later this summer" probably means around the August-September timeframe. If your recruiter is asking the source, say from the Region OPO Gram.

Will this make the SNA slots more competitive, since SNFO ones are not being accepted?

sounds like they are waiting to figure out quotas so people don't get screwed after a pro Y

I would say probably not, in my experience people that are qualified to go SNA often put NFO because if they can't fly the plane they still want to fly, but I rarely had a person that was qualified to go SNA that only applied NFO, I have had it happen, and she is in growlers right now.

I don't see how this will impact SNA.

 

[National OPO]

All - has been a while since I have posted to Air Warriors as I have since transferred from NRC and retired, but letting you know that per NRC (still have close comms with the shop there in NRC - some great Navy enlisted and officers working there), Fleet NFO applications (applications for NFO from Navy Fleet Sailors) ARE, I repeat ARE, being accepted by NRC. Conversely, NRDs have been instructed to NOT submit any additional NFO applications from non-Fleet (civilian) applicants until directed to do so. This hold on NRD-submitted civilian NFO applications is to allow NRC to push through the current load of NFO applications and prior PROREC-Y NFO applicants awaiting shipping to OCS. The NRC shop did not indicate when they will once again start accepting NRD-submitted NFO applications for civilian applicants, but could be as early as April-May timeframe. If you are one of those civilian NFO applicants waiting to submit your application, remain in close communications with your recruiter, who will hear from NRC the minute that the application window is once again opened for NRD-submitted civilian NFO applications. However, if you are a Navy Fleet Sailor, push ahead with submitting your NFO application to NRC. Please get this word out and spread around the various blogs talking about upcoming 2015 Pilot/NFO boards. Best of luck to those qualified Fleet Sailors that apply.
