FY16 IDC DCO Board (Jan 16)

[Fleet_saile]

I noticed that and I like the fact that you are an active member of this community. I respect your willingness to serve and persistence. You probably will get it this year

 

[Fleet_saile]

Does anyone know if we will hear the results on Friday?

I want Friday too.

 

[Fleet_saile]

correct, no specific release date, they are done when they are done.

NRC in the past would email the list to the NRD's then the senior leadership can then distribute if they decide to, several NRD's just let their recruiter hang out and wait.

They are the moderators of wait game

I thought Friday was the preferred day to fire someone...I don't know about hire

I feel the same way.....3 years for me as well.

Man, the once-a-year frequency really makes the stakes higher.

I first walked into a Navy recruiting office 3 years ago. I've learned a lot and will be a better Ensign in 2016 than the Ensign I would have been in 2013. Reapplying forced me to reassess, recommit, and redouble my efforts. I'm [even] more mature, with more qualifications, more leadership, and more IWC-specific knowledge.

But... clock's ticking on all of us. I don't need the Navy but I sure hope the Navy needs me.

well said

I hope you get it too. This is my first time. At least, I don't have to do all the interviews,paperworks and recommendation, once again, for next year. In case, I don't get chance this year. Any thoughts on what I need to do newly in term of documents, interviews,for next year?

Identify a senior (O4 or O5) officer in the designator of your choice to mentor you. Ask him/her what you should do to improve your qualifications & competitiveness for DCO. Then, go execute, "Message to Garcia" style.

@Fleet_saile You may have to renew medical....I don't remember how long it's good for...

I was told it's good for 1 year.

 

[Hair Warrior]

I was told it's good for 1 year.

I was told MEPS is good for 2 years. But your OR may ask you to re-do MEPS anyway because the board prefers recent paperwork.

the board sees nothing medical

Oh. I stand corrected!

If selected, how soon is the first physical fitness test and weigh in? Does that happen at the recruiters? The first drill weekend? At DCOIC course in Newport?

Sounds good. Will do that
