The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is that he said having a technical degree doesn't matter. It may be different from NROTC but I know that on that site it lists degrees in tiers. I can see it meaning less for OCS but not nothing. (I know my view of that may be biased, but it still doesn't make sense.)
Yes I believe the majority of applicants do not know of this site. I only found out from a friend who was accepted SNA in June. Not sure how many applicants there are overall but I would imagine over 100.
I went to college specifically to apply for a spot as a Naval Aviator. I graduated in May of 2013 and this is my second time applying. After almost 2 years of application time, waiting 3 months for another board really does go by fast. Just trying to promote some optimism, no worries, the next board will arrive fast!
Curious as to what you mean here. Do you mean chose your degree to better your chances?
Yes. I knew I needed a 4 year degree and I figured I would go for something that had to do with aviation, was a good back up career, and could possibly look better on my application. I wish I cared more about engineering in college though, the degree doesn't help much with my GPA.
Thanks for the info. Pretty sure that mine didn't make the board since I haven't heard anything yet and there has already been an active duty applicant say that he heard from the board. Hopefully the next one is in April so I wont have to stress out for too long.
I would ask JT88 how he was able to check. I don't know how AD works.
You can ask your OR to check the status. Or wait for next week and hope for the best.
