Feb-Mar 2016 Rolling Pilot/NFO Board

[Hopeful Hoya]

No one ever asked me when I was available to leave, Pro Rec Y SNA December board. Is this something I should reach out to my OR and follow up on?

You put your earliest ship date on the APSR that you filled out.

Not super familiar with what that is. I don't remember putting anything down about earliest ship date. I saw my OR once during the whole process. He transferred about two weeks after my pro rec and now im working a Chief.

APSR is the application that you filled out. It has a question that asks your earliest OCS availability.

This is what your APSR looks like (all your basic info, your test scores, your program preferences, etc.)

You (should have) put your earliest OCS ship date in box 4g.

My recruiter told me not to fill that in. Left it blank. Guessing my processor put something in there. Kinda awkward if you put in available in August 2015 when its feb 2016

I never filled that out, OR must have. I wonder what the date says.

did you still not get your fin select for SWO? Lol call up your processor.

If you need to leave after a specific date I would contact your OR and let him/her know so they can put the right date on there. I believe if you leave it black it means you are available to ship ASAP.

 

[SWOMan]

lets hope they put emphasis on the ASAP

You are probably right. I don't have a certain date I need to leave after, hoping the OR didn't put something silly like august 2016 though. Maybe I should call the Chief.

yeah, not a smart move, seen more than a few guys get shafted because of letting the recruiter fill that out, that is the applicants only way to let NRC know of their actual date they can leave.

Basically if a date had been put in there and you were told to go but you couldn't then NRC could just say "see ya" and given the spot to someone else.

a date has to be in there, it can be the date it is submitted, but it must be a date.

I thought it seemed weird, but he made it seem regular for him to fill it out so I didn't have to make the drive over.

In what sense did they get shafted? they didn't get selected shafted, or they got selected and had to leave during a time it was a major inconvenience shafted?
