Last year's NAVADMIN about the Navy's birthday was number 327, the results were 345. That was 18 NAVADMINS later. I doubt that statistic would follow though.

Nothing says the results have to come 18 NAVADMINS later, he could be right, who knows. I don't think it will be next but I also don't think its 18 away.

Supply Corps Applicant
From south city and south county. And I hope it doesn't take that long too... but I'll be watching the clock until the list is out.
I hope you're right. Last year was the least amount of applications for NFO i've seen (also the lowest accepted). Been stalking this thread for a while, figured i'd put my stats (better late than never).
Applying for NFO (too old for CORE) first and only time

EVALS: MP MP MP EP MP

Awards: 3 NAMs, 2 GCs
ACT: 25 english, 24 math
ASTB: 6/6/5 53

Misc: strong eval write ups, community service, 2 LORs, lots of non traditional credits, lots of collateral duties over the course of my enlistments.
Strenghts: Strong CO rec. all 10s on interal & external, strong personal statement.
Weaknesses: only completed pre-calc (dropped out of calc 10 yrs ago), leadership could be higher (might be scoring myself a little hard), no outstanding PRT, only one Warfare Device. Could have a better ASTB but didn't want to risk it.

18 Messages but that is also cause the results came out the 19th (which was days after the birthday). I don't think either way will help everyone in guessing. I suggest not "nuking this out" as we divers are fond of saying.

I think the number of NFO applicants will be up this year. There are already quite a few of us on this site. I felt the same way about the ASTB. Don't mess with something that is not broke.

FY-13 STA-21 Selectee
Manning is becoming a real issue, it feels like. We had Captain's Call on Tuesday and I really wanted to ask what the plan is to address our need for more qualified personnel/training in the face of increased flight hours versus decreased manning, but I figured the Sailors who have been to the boat or dealt with worse would scoff. I feel really bad for the handful of fully qualified guys... they are getting slaughtered. Was it always like this?
How is it at your new place?

FY-13 STA-21 Selectee
Since you can only take the ASTB three times in a lifetime, I figured I'd wait to see what the selection results were before tackling it again. I definitely could do better... I made qualifying scores, but definitely nothing competitive, which was disappointing to me. I'm grateful to have a little more exposure to aircraft/aviation than some of my surface counterparts, but you probably couldn't tell from looking at my scores!

Manning for us in the Diving Navy hasn't been much of an issue (no sign of anyone being denied re-enlistments, etc...) however our support personnel (EM, BM, CM, MM, YN, etc...) have been having it tough. Out of all the ones I've seen try to re-up only a few have managed to. While I'm not worried about my job it does make me worried about Officer Selections. I know with all the budget concerns and the scaling back of Iraq and Afghanistan there is a lot jobs that are overmanned.
Still, in the end it's all a cycle. While things may slow down now it's only a matter of time before they swing back again. I can only hope that some people up high are planning ahead rather than planning for "now". Wish things were more encouraging and I while can't complain about my particular situation I do sympathize.
I'd never hold back a question if you have one. Sometimes it's the best way to put that idea or thought in your CO's head. Otherwise who is he hearing from?
