Next Pilot/NFO/SWO Rolling Board in February 2015

Wouldn't that be the dream

Yes it would! Not only would I have coming home to look forward to, but also the decision of a lifetime! But, welcome to the military where it's all the waiting game.

SWO board expected to meet in February, no exact date yet. In the case you're selected, be expected to ship out no sooner than October 2015 unless you're age critical.

I just turned 30 but have 5 years prior. Am I considered age critical?

 

[rpat1987]

You should be considered 28, so you have a year to play with. Maybe you might be.

How soon before you age out does the Navy want you in OCS? And does my recruiter need to do anything or will the processors automatically recognize that I need to be out the door early?

The OCT 2015 ship date, is that SWO specific, or across the spectrum (SNA, NFO, etc.)?

Age critical is anyone within six months of reaching max age. As for shipping, they'll typically put you in the closest class possible. I've seen folks age critical ship out within 2-3 weeks of receiving a FINSEL.

This is for SWO only.

Just got this email from my recruiter...

"We just got off a conference call and we have been told they have closed Pilot and NFO. This means we will put SWO as 1st choice, Pilot as 2nd Choice and NFO as 3rd Choice."

Has anyone heard anything similar? What exactly might he mean by this?

I would let RUFIO chime in on this, he will give the no bullshit info on this.

Well there you go, the dumbest thing I've heard today.

and his answer is amusing, at least to me.

Just to clarify, I wasn't going off on the poster, but rather the recruiter who mentioned that. Just because a certain program is "at capacity" or "full for the year" DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T STILL APPLY ANYWAY CAPS CAPS !!!!ONEONEONE If anything, it just means that you'll be going to OCS no sooner than July 1st. Unless your OR can show something on paper that says you cannot apply for SWO/Pilot/NFO/whatever, by all means you can still submit an application.

The "I heard ______ is closed which means I can't apply right?" is just as annoying as @webmaster or any of the AW Admin having to deal with the "what % gets jets?" question.

If NRC truly closes a program I bet they will send an email out like they have before saying "do not send applications"

 

[rpat1987]

Is each recruiter missioned with a certain amount of SWO/Pilot/NFO slots? Could it be that he's at his goal for Pilot and NFO, but not for SWO?

I hope we get a date soon. I just got word that I need my complete official transcript since I just graduated on 19 Dec which I won't be able to get until next week. If the board was scheduled for 1 Feb 15, when would we have to have our kits in? I'm worried I'll be cutting it close since they haven't even sent my kit up for review

 

[rpat1987]

You're in luck, February 1st is a Sunday! But if it's on the 2nd, most likely the packets will be due by Friday or maybe Monday the January 12th.
