Future OCS Board Dates

[exNavyOffRec]

NavyOffRec,

Do you know anything about the number of billets for SWO in July? how many applications are coming in for it?

unknown at this time, I was told they expect a flood of applications after May 1st

More info from current report

Supply FY13 goal made, don't expect a board anytime soon.
IP no goal for FY 13
SWO options, FY13 expect closed when April results are released

 

[Nick Bradley]

yes

Thanks. Will they be looking at IP?

Nope, IP has no quota for FY 13, they should select some SWO-IP though from the April board.

NavyOffRec,

Thank you for all of your help and insight for those of us trying to make it into OCS. I submitted a package in early Feb for Intel/Supply/SWO. I know the Intel board is closed so does that mean my package is going to go in the discard pile or will it automatically go to the Supply/SWO boards as well? Would you mind checking the application status for my package? Catherine Van Bebber NRD Dallas. I really appreciate following your posts to get straight answers and thank you for taking the time to answer all of our continuous and (probably) redundant questions.

NavyOffRec,

Is there any word on what the quotas are going to be for the Aug and Feb boards for AMDO? Thank you for any and all help.

August is probably going to be the only board as the quota for FY 13 is "3" in general they pick active duty, with maintenance background, and I was told generally E-6

Thank you for the quick reply. I'm an active duty AS that is finishing my degree in November. So you don't think there will be a board in February due to the low selection numbers? Thank you again.

It is listed as TBD but no I don't think it will happen, in the past they had had just one board per year for AMDO that actually happened.

Chief,

Wanted to confirm for Intel- are you saying the AUG 12 board is cancelled and they may have one in OCT 12 but you're not sure? Thanks.

V/r,

[exNavyOffRec]

I would not expect to see any INTEL selects for quite a while, IW maybe, but I don't have the board schedule in front of me right now.

Hi NavyOffRec,

I just wanted clarification. July's boards for SWO...SWO/IP etc. are for FY13 and they're expected to be closed?

 

[exNavyOffRec]

July is expected to be Pilot/NFO/SWO, however the number of SWO billets is unknown, if any.

No SWO options, they were picked in April

NavyOffRec,

You said applications for the July 2012 Pilot board are due beginning of June. I had Lasik surgery mid-December 2012, and have completed all subsequent check-ups. My application is complete with ASTB scores, medical, etc. except for the Lasik waiver. I cannot apply for the waiver until mid-June (6 months after), correct? If that is the case, what is the possibility of submitting my application for the July board date and pursuing this waiver as soon as possible? Will my lack of waiver automatically disqualify my application, even if I can complete the waiver before the board convenes?

Thank you!
