May-ish 2015 Pilot/NFO Rolling Board

Congrates slater44 and H-60 Wannabe!!
Hello,
I just have a few questions about the Aviation selection board. Last time I talked to my recruiter (about 2 weeks ago) he said that they should be some time in May. Why was the board date changed to a month before it was anticipated? Also when is the next Pilot/NFO selection board? I ask because I have recently been accepted to Grad school (I only applied as a backup in case I get rejected from OCS).
I was hoping that the May selection board will give me enough time to see if I am selected for Navy. But now that the selection board was changed I am afraid that the next available selection board may be at a much later time and the University I applied to is giving me until June to decide if I want to attend grad school. I tried emailing my recruiter twice still haven't heard from him.
Thank you
The boards are rolling aka nobody really knows. A rule of thumb about the rolling boards though is they are held every 90-120 days OR if NRC (Navy Recruiting Command) receives enough packets to fill the allotted # of slots that the navy needs at the time. In this case, it was only 60 days after they Feb board so im assuming they received enough packets to hold a board. If I was guessing the next board will probably be held in June-August period. Yes I know this is a fairly large estimate but that is just how the Navy rolls. Good luck and don't give up!!

What's the deposit for grad school? You might want to go ahead and put in a package for OCS and pay the deposit for your seat in grad school. Keeps both options open if you can afford it.
Thanks! I see you are in the April board. Good Luck yourself!
Not sure, they haven't specified any deposits. I only hope the deposit isn't the tuition. I might end up doing what you suggest though if it isn't too much.
So I am new to this jargon, what does PRO REC Y mean?!?
Pro Rec basically means the board has recommended you for the spot. After this you wait for your Final Selection Letter. So basically if you get the Pro-Rec, you're in assuming you don't get yourself arrested and everything you've submitted checks out.
Means that the board "professionally recommends" you. I can tell you are fairly new to the forum. You have sooo much to learn!! If you have questions about stuff you can usually search around the forum to find your answers. You might be wondering what SNA and NFO means.
SNA- student naval aviator (Maverick)
NFO- Naval Flight Officer (Goose)
Yes but its not official till you receive your Final Select letter that has your designator and your OCS date.
Yes I am new to this forum. And yes I have much to learn. But I was aware what SNA and NFO meant
Also This Forum is soooooo huge, I stumbled on posts from '06.
My apologies If I am repeating things already discussed.
It took me a while to realize which one was pilot lol. It's not a problem at all though. I remember finding AW for he first time and I was so lost at first. PM me if you have any questions about the process of becoming a SNA or nfo!!Yes I am new to this forum. And yes I have much to learn. But I was aware what SNA and NFO meant
