if you have a 3.0 and you didn't bomb the OAR portion of the test (ie you got 50+) you should be fine. I was 3.0 gpa with a non-stem major, astb was 61 7/7/5 and I had non-medical waiver. If they chose me you should be fine. Good luck!
Had you applied before or was this your first time?
You can always switch over to be a pilot later. Honestly, you have your foot in the door, and if pilot is truly what you want then work towards that while being the best NFO you can be. The way things are right now, that door will always be open. Don’t chance it on the next board when you could be graduated from OCS and be on the journey to doing what you want. It’s your life and your career, but as others have said, it’s gonna look a little sketch if you say no and then reapply.
Not sure what’s happening with my command. It’s like they know I was picked up and kinda just don’t care 😂
Awesome. I got a 53 on the OAR. 3.2 Gpa in operations and supply chain management. No waivers whatsoever. Recruiter has been telling me I would need 8’s and 9’s to be competitive so this is a relief.
Hey man I really appreciate that and the insight. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be an NFO as it’s a badass job. I have a lot to decide but I’m verging on doing what you’ve said. My recruiter has been awesome and owned that he shouldn’t have recommended I put SNFO on my packet as that might have been why I didn’t get an SNA select. I appreciate the hell out of you guys for the advice, truly.
could be he’s relying on bad gouge back from 2022 when there was an absolute slaughter of a board(only 8s and 9s got through)
It is also a little based on how well the board does in general. This board seems to be an absolute stomping ground for positive selection, but I got a 63, 8/8/8 and my recruiter said I had ‘okay chances’ maybe for other boards that would be true but I feel there’s also a little luck surrounding which board you apply to. Either way I think your scores are fine
I had a similar thing happen to me last board. Had a miscommunication with my recruiter and applied for both got picked up for NFO and declined then reapplied for SNA only and got picked up this board. Only thing I did different was retake ASTB took my scores from 7/7/6 to 8/8/7.
No problem. I must admit, I applied for only SNA because I didn’t want to apply for both and get SNFO. But, the NFO’s I have met and worked with absolutely love it. It’s up to you, but I’d take it for now and decide what you want to do later when you have flight hours and experience and have shown you’re an asset to the Navy.
I’ve seen lower scores getting selected too it’s driving me insane 😂. Don’t get me wrong I’m stoked for everyone, I’m just wildly confused
Beautifully said man. Good luck and congratulations to all of us!!!!
