July 2013 Board Final Selects

[alaurin]

Clever analogys... obviously, you didn't sleep through your college English Lit course(s)!
BzB

I think we went over that in Senior English Lit in HS, but the analogy always stuck with me. I think there was a scene in Dante's Inferno featuring Sisyphus rolling the stone in one of the circles of hell he voyages through. Ironically, I used to read that book on the recumbent bike at the gym.

Final Select depends on a lot of factors: Did you do your NASIS and physical prior to the board? What dates did you put for your availability of service when you filled out your board paperwork? When do you graduate from college? (This is my case, as I graduate in December I received a 12 January 2014 class date)

There is no telling when you will get your final select letter. Just remember to keep taking the initiative by keeping up with your OR and/or processor and always remember to "HURRY UP AND WAIT!" Cheers!

 

[Mr Spenz]

Your NASIS is included in the application.

 

[exNavyOffRec]

Your NASIS is included in the application.

clarification, yes it is included in the application, but what the applicants really wait on is the investigation to be "open" in order for this to happen you will sign another set of signature pages.

Well, sounds like I have been medically cleared at last per Paul Celestin with the Fleet OCS desk in Millington. Neither I nor my command recieved a PQ letter, does this sound right? If so that is some weight off my shoulders

 

[jg54170]

My divo says still not showing PQd, is it possible to be PQd and the status not show in CIRIMS? Kind of like folks having a date but not an actual FS?

Yeah that's correct according to Ted Williams, the PQ letter is not sent to you or your command. Only the FS letter and the service agreement are sent to your CO.

Is it a requirement to get a PQ before submitting your app for OCS?

 

[jg54170]

No not before submitting but it is required before getting a final select letter.

 

[Navy Ship]

No not before submitting but it is required before getting a final select letter.

Are you a prior?

How do I go about bypassing the PQ process? Also, how much time does one have to get their FS letter?

 

[MrFiveOh]

Who here, besides me, is still waiting on their FINSEL letters even after being PQ'd w/ open investigation?

Quick question: Will the Navy delay my FINSEL since I told them that I am currently working on a master's even though I have every intention of putting it hold to get into the Navy? I even told my OR during the process of building my OCS packet, "I can ship out today if I had too!" So my availability should be wide open in their system... I hope...

I am not a prior, I am currently on active duty.

What do you mean by bypass the PQ process? To go to OCS you will have to be found PQ in accordance with commissioning standards.

If you are active you must have a commissioning physical included with your application, if civilian you can submit without having the physical done. It still must be completed and you must be found physically qualified prior to a final select being issued.

I'm in the same boat PQ, already got a secret clearance, and active. I'm still waiting for my FINSEL. I wish they would let me know at least for planning purposes.

 

[BeLikeMike]

Hopefully new fiscal year means they are going to start issuing out FINSEL letters.

I'm currently in college and trying to get selected for OCS. My eyesight is not good enough to get a PQ for Aviation.

I am getting PRK / LASIK, but i'd prefer to wait a few more months. So for now, I'd like to submit and see if I get in. Then I can go ahead and get PRK / LASIK.

So do you need a PQ just to apply to the board for OCS selection?
