I am also applying for the December board. At least, I am trying to get everything together before the deadline. I am anxiously waiting my for medical records to arrive in the mail so that I can get screened. I really hope I can get everything together in time, I don't want to wait until April.

When it comes to LOR's does anyone know what it looks like not to have any officers as recommendations? I don't have any previous military history and don't have much of a network when it comes to the military. For my reference, I pretty much have professors and previous employers with the exception of a old co-worker who was Marine Recon that is willing to write a recommendation for me. Is that going to be a set back in overall package?

Hi everyone, I am also putting in for the upcoming board (Pilot/Intel/NFO/IW/IP). I turned in my package last week and was told that it was being submitted through NLT tomorrow.
Since this is my first post, not just on this thread but also on this site, I have included a few relevant stats that everyone seems to be posting.
Age: 27 (waiver approved)
Active Duty: IS2 (5+ years)
Reserve: IS1 – 2 years (19 months ADSW)
AA – General Studies, CCC
BA – Intelligence Studies; Counterintelligence focus, AMU
Combined GPA: 3.9
ASTB - 7/7/8 - 57
LORs: 2x O-6, 1x O-4, 1x O-3
Clearance: TS/SCI
2807/2808: Fully approved with 20/20 vision
I have had a relatively abnormal run in the Navy (no sea time or deployment) and am hoping that that fact doesn't bite me on the board. From what I’ve seen just in this thread it looks pretty competitive. . . one can hope.
Cheers,
Zach

Plenty of people don't have any military network going on, I wouldn't worry. Plus, a letter written by someone in the military who doesn't know you all that well isn't as helpful to the board as one by someone who actually worked with you.
Welcome aboard Zach! Yes, the numbers you posted above are excellent. I don't have any idea of your enlisted performance evals; however, your pay grade v TIS, would seem to indicate no performance problems. LORs look good, even better if all, or some of these Officers were in your COC, and are familiar with your character, qualities , and potential. Should be a highly competitive package.
Where you've been stationed, and whether at sea or ashore, will have no negative effect on your selection. After all, you served where you were assigned, because that's where you were needed. How you performed in those assignments... is what really matters. Best of luck whenever your board(s) meet!

I am also submitting my package before this upcoming board in December, but I am still anxiously awaiting to go to MEPS. Is that not a good thing that I still haven't gone to MEPS? I practically have everything done except that and my SF86. My OR says he is trying to get me into the schedule but there's limited spots on how many officers he can send at one time and to just wait patiently. Should I worry? Any advice?
Thanks
Thanks

Thank you for the welcome and the encouragement. The reason for the concern over lack of sea time was that while on active duty I submitted a STA-21 Package and was not selected. My COC explained that this was most likely based on my lack of time at sea or deployment, as the rest of my package was extremely competitive.
To fill in the holes: my evals are all MPs and EPs, the LORs are all from present or past COC, and no performance deficiencies. Thank you again.
Cheers,
Zach

A couple questions... How long have you been working on your package? How long have you been waiting to go to MEPS? What does the rest of your package look like?
I've found that if I show full dedication to something, work hard, and get what I can control complete that the other side of the equation will feel more inclined to reciprocate. I recommend getting everything else done, including your SF86 and anything else hanging. Then go back to your OR and see what you can work out.
I don't know much about your situation, but I'm applying for the December board and am going to MEPS this coming Tuesday. I also haven't completed my SF86, but I'm very close. I think the deadline for submitting is rapidly approaching, but like you, I haven't completed everything by now. I would suggest trying to get the ball rolling with those two things, especially if they're the last things you need for your package.
