My recruiter called me on Wednesday, I got selected Supply DCO. The most humbling experience of my life with out question. If there is anyone who will be going up for the next Supply DCO Board I would be happy to exchange some of my do's and do nots that have been shared with me.

I have a completed DCO app in my hand and will be submitting this week for the July Proboard. As I was getting my medical, the doctor (a CDR) told me that considering my age/experience I would likely get accessed at above Ensign if I was selected. Anyone know anything about this?

Remember June 22nd is the deadline!

While I am hardly an expert on *anything*, having asked this basic question myself for my package(s), I was informed that this was only a cultural bias and not a requirement. Is there anyone from NRC in the room who can respond authoritatively?

You should perhaps contact your NRD.

For (most) civilian applicants, NRD *is* the sole point of information. When pressed on the point, they have been unable to produce any RA which states that the ability to 'make 20' is a hard rule, and (in my experience) get rather testy when pressed on anything.

Frankly, I've had much better luck with NRC as an authority than I've ever had (until recently) with my local NRD. Of course, YMMV.

Had a SUpply Officer interview today. I'm trying for Supply in Jan since my recruiter says there definitely will be board.

I applied as well. Deadline for applications was supposedly 12/13, and board meets I believe 21 Jan. I was also told that another board was going to meet in March, but my recruiter did not know how many slots were available on either board. The interviews were the best part, all the officers were very upfront and most of the talk was about what the reserves / suppo would be like.
