July 2013 and/or Rolling Board

[Mr Spenz]

Are you guys gonna have your applications in by tomorrow?

For those applying, are any of you 12 months or less out from graduation? Reason I'm asking is because I met with an OR today and they wouldn't let me put a package in till I had my Bachelors (from my understanding if you're 12> months from graduating you can apply).

Application has been signed by my CO and submitted to CNRC today, now begins the longest month long wait ever.

Same here.

I just went to MEPS today as well. Have to go back for a Psych Eval though, apparently 2 drinks a week constitutes being an alcoholic. Recruiter at the district office said he was able to push out the packet today without MEPS being complete. He also said that word on the street is that this is supposed to be the best board for SNA in a while. Just scuttlebut though, so we'll see how it turns out!

That was my understanding that civilians are allowed to apply within 12 months of graduating. Active duty on the other hand has to have their Bachelors already in order to apply.

By instruction those who are applying for OCS should their Bachelors degree. The board sometimes allows those who are close to graduating to apply, but that is 100% upto the board if they will accept your package. A few months ago they were real relax on those who were close to graduating, but because so many people were appling with intentions of graduating, then getting selected, then not graduating in the time they disclosed to the board. The board has tighten up on those without degrees. I don't have my degree and they let me apply for the July Board, but I graduate a week after the results come out. Which is still before the first set of final select letters come out.

Hope this answers your question.

What does that mean?

 

[Spartan43]

Which part, the rumors? I'm not too sure, I took it as selections are going to be pretty high?

 

[Mr Spenz]

Ya that this is suppose to be the best SNA boards in awhile?

I think he meant that it's supposed to be a good board for SNA applicants, as in a high selection rate. It could be wrong though, sorry if I shouldn't have included that part in my post.

 

[Mr Spenz]

Or a lot of good SNA applicants. Who knows

I was PROREC SNA/SNFO with 13 months left before graduation.

Per NRC rules you are supposed to be within 6 months, since BDCP has essentially gone to nothing they would let people slide to about 12 months, but anything over 6 would be a gift.

My guess is there is something that makes them not want to work with you.

AD and non AD are different rules, the degree in hand does not apply to non AD

This is what I was told. I finish school on August 25th so I was in the clear to put my packet in for the July board. I tried to a year out and the OR told me to call back when I was 6 months or less out from graduation.

My question, If selected are there anymore OCS class dates left for FY13? Or are all applicants from here on out will be for FY14?
