Hello, all.
I'm hoping to make the July boards as well. I have one pressing issue that I'm looking for help with, though. Perhaps NavyOffRec or some other wise soul can help? I just spoke with my OR and asked why my checklist doesn't have the actual "officer programs application" on it -- I actually said OPNAV 1420/1 -- and he said he didn't even know what that was. He said if it isn't on my checklist, I don't need it. I'm really starting to get concerned that even if I provide everything on the checklist he gave me, my package will be incomplete. Am I freaking out for no reason?
He said that my application is the exact same as everyone else's (implying civilians, navy active duty, etc -- I'm active Marine Corps). I can't even identify the checklist he gave me. It says "Officer Candidate School (OCS) application checklist" across the top (which sounds legit), then right below that it has the designators and their codes next to them. After that it says "Attention all NAVCRUITDISTs: Documents should be attached into O'Tools per the WEb OTools Standard Operating Procedures." The first thing on the actual checklist is "Section 2: Basic Application" and starts with application checklist, APSR, EPSQ, etc. At the bottom it says "Rev. 05/27/11." Does this sound familiar to anyone? I feel like I should fill out the 1420/1 anyway just in case...
Sorry for the threadjack. Just trying to get some answers.

Silhouette,
I can only share what I know from doing all of this myself and my conversations with the fleet OCS processer and I am not sure if any of what I am about to write has anything to do with the Marines… having said that I am attaching the checklist I have (from the fleet OCS processor) because it is different then the one for civilians. I am also under the impression that seeing, as you are active duty, you would talk to a career counselor and not an Officer recruiter (but you are in the Marines and I may be way off…)
This checklist has been very helpful and gives some more in-depth requirements then the 1420 in the notes section. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask I will try and help as much as I can. You have some solid scores and a great GPA. I think you will have a good shot at this board, but it’s very important to get your OCS package squared away and I think you have every right to double check and make sure things are they way they should be.

Snapper,
Thanks for the response! This checklist looks much better than the one I have. I think I'll do everything on this one in addition to having everything ordered on the one the OR gave me, that way if the first comes back all messed up I can turn it around really fast. Do you know the actual deadline for application submission? I know it's early this month, so I'm pushing to get it done. I shared your thought on the career counselor, but unfortunately I don't have one at my command. I reached out to one I knew back in the day and he pointed me back at the OR.
Once again, thanks for the help.

the one the OR gave you is the right one, the only ones that do not use this are active USN, they have to use the 1420, we have had active USAF and US Army submit and been selected.
FYI there is no Supply or Intel board for the near future.

NavyOffRec-
Appreciate the clarification. I'm sure it gets old for ORs sometimes when the app paranoia sets in, but I'd rather be sure/get a second opinion than be wishing I had when it comes back. As for the Supply and Intel boards, better to be ready and wait than to be caught off guard! Maybe the NFO powers-that-be will alleviate the waiting issue next month anyway..
Thank you again for lending your expertise/experience.

with no board scheduled for Intel and Supply you will be Pro X on those, if they decide to hold a board they will let the NRD's know to start submitting applications and then you will have to resubmit.
NavyOffRec,
Thank you for your gouge! So are we saying that those of us for this July board wouldn't go to Newport until FY14? I truly hope not! But if it must be, it must.
All,
It seems this is a very competitive board! You all have some terrific LOR's, GPA's & ASTB scores; best of luck to everyone!

Some numbers changed on Friday, FY 12 NFO goal went up, many reason as to why, but what that means is for FY13 NFO there are some spots, as it appears they took some of the FY13 guys to make FY12 goal, so currently they have a goal of 32 NFO's for FY13 and so far have 26 identified, they always select more than what they need.
Pilots FY 13 goal is 206 and what is identified is 122
SWO FY 13 goal is 133 and what is identified is 121

Do high ASTB scores take on weight of lower GPA's?
Also, I still havnt seen anything about pilot quota's for July. Do we have a rough number for pilot spots?
