GAH!!! Let's just get to releasing those results already!! I don't want to have a face full of wrinkles, no hair, and a heart attack by the time they come out! The heart attack may make me inelligable, and I still haven't gone through MEPS. Lol

Well damn! I can feel your anxiety all the way over here! Only one thing can cure your ailment:

My OR told me that my package (since i didnt get selected) wont roll onto the next board.. Is this true? does this mean I have to make a completely different package to submit? or am I just sh!t out of luck?

Lol! I love it! It's funny, because my cattle dog has helped me so much with calming my mind down. Dogs are therapy. Plain and simple.

I've been at Fort Knox for the last two months and haven't been able to see mine at all. Headed home Thursday though and can't wait! I also have to find a job in the interim before OCS...it would be helpful if I could get a class date soon and know if I can go back to my old job at Chick-fil-A or something more for grown-ups...

Well my recruiter QUIT the Navy... After working with him for 2 years on this application he quit and didn't warn any of his applicants. He was a great guy and really helpful... I am just frustrated that now I am getting paired with a fresh LT who is in recruiter training and therefore won't be answering his phone until mid-August. This is why I need to hear when NRD Philly results are out!!! Everyone is driving me nuts with their good news. I must know!

Were you working with LT Joe Cylc? He was the freaking man, and I spoke with him the day I finalized my package for the selection board. I emailed him last week and got "Hi, this is LT Smith. Cylc isn't here anymore and I'm in Florida for the next 3 weeks." I almost had an aneurysm when I read that. I can't believe Cylc, though. He seemed so gung-ho about helping me get into OCS, it's surprising to hear he finished up his service obligation after ROTC and bounced without a word to anyone. I wouldn't say Smith is a bad guy as much as he just doesn't seem to be on top of his game. Oh well. If I don't hear tomorrow morning, I'm going to start calling the NRD office every few hours and will probably have my dad get involved (O-4 in PHS) just because an officer who outranks everyone in the Philly office carries a bit more weight than one kid who is tired of not hearing anything.

My recruiter is a fellow First Class and has been nothing but helpful since he picked up my case this winter. He hasn't held my hand, but he has done what he has said he would and answered all my questions or found answers for me. I have no complaints about working with STG1 Sydney out of NRD New England, he's done a great job. He's been a lot better than the ENCM I worked with a few years ago who was on the ROAD program, when I was brand new to the Navy: I'm still not actually sure if my application went to the board back in 2010 or not.

Here's the biggest piece of advice I have for everyone here from my short time in the Navy: never forget about your junior sailors and don't screw people over just because you have short-timer's syndrome. Do what you say you will, or do a proper turn-over.

Bad idea. Don't do this. Bad way to start off a Navy career. Also, there's no need to call out your current OR on a public forum. Maintain your professionalism, even when you're stressed.

Hey guys, I'm NRD Philadelphia too. There is no sense calling the NRD to see what the news may be. We are all anxious, but I assure you if you're patient the news will come. I'm on pins and needles like you guys. I was through this before last year and I learned in my first couple weeks at OCS, that it's all about patience and being able to professionally wait as strange as that sounds. Those of us with this NRD should stick it out and help each other out if we do happen to hear anything sooner than the 13th. Lt Smith seems to be a really cool guy and he'll get the job done.

Does anyone know if the COC gets word about packages? I am active duty, so other than bothering the OCS desk I'm not sure where to go.

I spoke with them today and they said NPC has received the results, I am waiting on them to upload my status.

The CO and CCC should get a message but from what I understand we will also be on the big list which goes to the NRD's so my DIVO (who is an OR) is also watching for the information.

I don't care where it comes from, I just want to know yay or nay!

Are you NFO/SNA or SWO?
