September 2014 IDC Board

[psulaw0929]

It looks like the 6 Oct SWO board results are out already. I guess the surface boys had somewhere to be. Will the IDC folks comb through the possible selects since SWO was posted first? Also, a 98% acceptance? What?

98% Acceptance!?!? A board like that seems less about selecting candidates and more about deciding who to reject. I wish I could apply for SWO! Maybe not, I do really love intelligence. But I also would love being a naval officer. That's a tough one.

Almost like the May pilot board. 76% pick up rate haha

Next week it will be next week.

EDIT: My next post will be #400 for me. I wonder if it will be commenting about getting PRO REC Y?

Well technically 97.3%.

The SWO board really increased the GPA and OAR requirement recently, so many that would have applied no longer can.

With all the news of officer retention problems and ship commanders being shown the door/hatch/desk assignment for bad conduct, I guess they felt the need to increase the overall quality and quantity.

Oh well, I made my 400th post without even thinking about it. I spent it trying to help somebody out. I hope the IDC results are well worth the wait.

I met some guy this weekend who was an officer on a pilot OCS board once. He said the competition was so tight that they had to resort to looking at people's pictures and they disqualified a guy because his mustache was out of regs.

Unless they facebook us, there is no way they can see our pictures.

To what?

If I were only young enough for SWO I would have a PROTEC-Y already

That could be why they are taking so long. They are looking up people on Facebook, and probably even here. I would like to think I am joking, but I am not so sure.

RUFIO put it in a post somewhere but I am pretty sure it was 3.0 and 45

If they facebook me, they will see my profile picture is Val Kilmer from Topgun...which is an automatic Pro-Rec Y.
