OCS 27JAN 25 IWC BOARD

[Rolypoly7]

I’m up for this board too, applied for 1800 and 1810.

Prior service, CTR2 (IW/SW), 7 years active. GPA of 3.53 in biology, graduated with honors, mostly MPs and EPs. 59 OAR, no waivers. 4 LORs, O5 and O3 IWC, one professor, and one PhD candidate mentor.

The waiting part is the worst -_-

Assuming you're applying for Intel, an age waiver isn't needed. Source: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Porta...TEL_May-2022.pdf?ver=TlUDrZ25Jjf4Ij2uhdHsuw==.

I’ve been told that intel is closed for this year and I need to wait for the next year if I want intel

Ok. That still doesn't address not needing an age waiver.

Definitely a 23JUN25 Intel Proboard, with a Fleet applicant deadline of 09MAY25 and NRC deadline of 23MAY25.

You think I don’t have a chance for CW? Because of age waiver?

I was just letting you know there is an Intel board happening this year. I have no idea what the IWC community likes or doesn’t like.

Aaannnnyyy day now...

 

[Masadoll]

do they publicly announce the results or the recruiters just get informed?

 

[JustChilling]

Your recruiter will let you know.

Feels like getting EAs for AFROTC lol - anybody have any updated timelines from their recruiters, or are we still fully in the dark?

 

[slipshodraven]

Having spent 11 years as an enlisted Sailor, I recommend that you get used to waiting with no indication of when things will be resolved. Some things are simply done when they're done; no clear time frame and asking over and over tends to be unproductive. Not to mention that I would venture that anyone giving you a time estimate right now would only be speculating.

Take a deep breath and be patient.

For some consolation, I asked my recruiter this week regarding any news from this board and, predictably, got told there wasn't.

As for when, let's temper our expectations during this period and focus on other endeavors. Some of the applicants are civilians with zero military experience and therefore not accustomed to the "hurry up and wait" lifestyle that @slipshodraven summarized. If you're looking for speculation, then we may start getting answers next Tuesday (3rd week) going off certain previous boards.

Just remember the answer NRC gives is 2-10 weeks, many factors can lead to it being 10 weeks. Just plan for 6 weeks and you probably won't be disappointed.
