Did anyone notice that the scores and whether someone got in (link at top of page) seems to make ZERO sense?

Some people with really solid stats didnt get in, and others with #s I would have thought too low got in. Nuts... Kinda proves the point of you really have no idea if you are going to get a spot.

There is very very little chance of switching to pilot from NFO in the foreseeable future. If you can live with NFO than take it. If something wildly unforeseen happens and dozens of quotas for pilot open up then you can try for a redesignation. Do not, repeat, do not take the NFO offer if you only intend to use it as a spring board to pilot. You will likely end up unhappy.

Comparing stats is a fun hobby, but is only a loose guide to what to expect. If the numbers told the whole story we wouldn't have naval officers reviewing your applications. Instead, we would simply program your "stats" into a computer and let the machine do the work.

In summery, best chance for all programs is through BDCP. Chance of SNA through a regular OCS app is realisticly zero, and will be for a while. NFO is a bit better. Last I heard Supply and maybe Intel are still open. BDCP SNA in 2006 is almost done. probably about a dozen quotas left. NFO is much better, as is Supply and Intel. BDCP 2007 has pretty good numbers accross the board if you have the app to warrant two years partying in college drawing a Navy paycheck.

No pilot selects through regular OCS in the last several weeks. Very unlikely in the near future. If there are no quotas there isn't an application good enought to get you selected for a job that doesn't exist. Should a couple slots open up briefly because someone failed to ship to OCS or they changed their minds (reality is that in either case the Navy would propably not refill those slots since we are overmanned), then timing will be the most important factor.
