July Boards 2010

If you want to be in for September your packet has to be in TN no later than the 24th of August, and there is speculation that the deadline will be moved to the 16th of every month. Just fyi.
 
Daniel: Would you mind PMing me some more information about your OR?

Not name, of course, but NRD, rank, and as verbatim as you can remember some of the things you were told, especially if they served to demoralise you, or otherwise be unprofessional.

My first experience with a recruiter was horrible, and I languished for months until I finally put my foot down and asked for another. I even had to get an NRD CO (from an entirely different NRD) involved. I was polite, respectful, and not a "tattle-taler" of any sort, but I was also firm that I either be taken seriously or that I be told specifically I wasn't wanted.

I got my new OR. My new OR is awesome. We got more done in three months than I had been able to get done with my previous OR in a year. Since I basically had to restart the process with my new OR and redo a lot of initial paperwork, that says something.

With the support of two O-5s, one of them at Navy Recruiting Command, I am putting together anecdotes of less than stellar behavior by officer recruiters. There are people interested in what is happening on the "deckplates" so to speak of the officer recruiting experience. Your experiences are not unique, and that has some people concerned.

I've just been told my package is either being reviewed right now or will be reviewed shortly. I think I'm the only person on AW up for SWO/IP though, so I don't know who else will benefit from knowing that I guess the board is happening right now...
 
You shouldn't have to wait 6 months as the aviation boards meet every month. I was non-select in April boards and am reapplying in August (only a 4 mo. difference). Good time to apply though. My recruiter says SWO and NFO have hit their quota for the year, but SNA is right on track with 25% quota remaining for the last quarter (July, August and September). Your scores meet the average select and your LOR's look great. Best of luck. Maybe I'll be seeing you in OCS (fingers crossed!).
 
Anyone heard updates on when boards are meeting? Sometime this week I would think but cool if anyone actually heard.
 
My OR just confirmed I was indeed seen last week, he expects results for me this coming week. Of course, I don't know about everyone else's board.

Lucy,
Have you already transferred to a university or are you applying straight from a community college? If you’re applying straight from CC, Phi Theta Kappa is a big plus according to my recruiter. I am a member of Phi Theta Kappa also and the scholarships available are worth looking into if you already haven’t. Good luck with the results of this month’s boards!
 
I transferred last summer but was in Phi Theta Kappa for my sophmore year. I did look into the scholarships but didn't recieve notice of my membership(missed the first mailing?) until after most of the deadlines in Jan of '09. I have been at my university since last summer, but spent winter/spring term abroad so I only had 5 classes at my four year on record. However, if another submit is needed I will now have 20 or so classes with a GPA increase to 3.48 overall and 3.79 at my university so I should qualify for the honor society again and hopefully show a continued upswing in academics.
Thanks for the luck!
