Did nrc give out the hard goals yet? It is often rare for them to have any hard goals before Jan so we would always see a spike in the march board, Nov and Dec always tended to be low numbersSelections are normally better earlier in the FY selection timeline and we're on the back half of that now. In other words: They need xxx number of SWOs to graduate OCS in a given fiscal year. Once they reach what they need and as the year progresses, the selection rate naturally falls. In fact, we went 6 1/2 months between SWO boards instead of the normal 3 earlier this year. (Feb. 2015 to Sept. 2015) Their coffers were full! We're most likely at that saturation point now. I would bet that many selected today are tagged for a FY17 OCS graduation date (after 10/1/2016) as well.
I hope this helps. After recruiting for a few years and tracking results, it's easy to see the ebb and flow.
Do they still do Pro Rec-A? you know if they ran out of seats but they liked someone that they didn't wanna give away?
If they, the professional review- recommendation board assign an Alternate

Congrats man. Maybe we will get the same dates!Yea! I am very lucky! My recruiter has been great! Constantly on top the ball! Good luck goldmanharry91 and everyone else!
Yes...nationwide numbers. The goaling memo came out about a month or so ago.Did nrc give out the hard goals yet?
They aren't in there, yet. However, the results are on the internal N311 Sharepoint site for all recruiters nationwide to see. They were posted early afternoon yesterday.Does anyone know if recruiters can see the results in CIRIMS?
Agree. Before, they trickled out via e-mail here and there and depending on the program manager at NRC, they may or may not get posted to an applicant's record in CIRIMS. Posting to the N311 Sharepoint is brand new and unfortunately, that link and word hasn't made it to the field efficiently. In this day of tech, that's sad...but true. (Metallica reference intended) At-Board Lists, announced board dates (like aviation/SWO), and updated board schedules are all going there.I wish more recruiters actually knew to check the sharepoint. There seems to be an overreliance on CIRIMS.

not the goaling letter, there is some "behind the scenes" work that goes on, the goaling memo has always been based on what they believe, then NRC early in the year gets the hard goals after all the data trickles down, generally very little change but they always have tended to for lack of a better work be cautious until they get the hard goals, I had always wondered why boards dipped in December, then I happened to have some conversations with the Director and learned some behind the scenes stuff, the one I talked to said ideally the field never sees any change in goals, and if they do it right very little change in selection numbers.
Didn't make it congratulations to those that did!
