OCS SWO Board 10 Feb 20

[PontusPilot]

I feel like I’m the only who still hasn’t gotten an answer yet. At this point I’d even take a prorec N and know where I have to regroup so I can try again. I reached out to my recruiter on Wednesday and have gotten crickets.

I still don’t have an answer for SWO. Did get an answer for SNA and supply though

Where are you getting that deadline from. NPC has 19 Mar 20 as the deadline.

I wonder what the threads for Space Force will look like once that starts to have an OCS lol

I'm just popping on here to give you a cyber high-five for your degree. I majored in geography & GIS

Dozens of us!

my recruiter warned me about retaking the OAR. a lot of people retake it and score lower, I've seen it myself happen a few times. It's kind of risky

In all my years I never had a candidate who used study guides take and score lower.

Has anyone received a ProRec N and do not apply again? I want to apply for the next board but hesitant on receiving those words.

What were your stats? And do you have any waivers? What is your test scores/how many times have you taken it?

Age: 26
OAR: 42 took it 3 times (38,40,42)
GPA: 2.8
Major: Social Work
No waivers
This was my third attempt with the boards (1x SWO, 2x aviation)

Crazy turn of events my recruiter told me yesterday I wasn’t selected for pilot or supply and was waiting for SWO results. I guess somehow he read my old board results, and I actually wasn’t selected for SWO, and he still doesn’t have my board results for pilot/supply for this round....

Not to be harsh but almost every one of your scores is just past the bare minimum. Your degree isn’t STEM, you don’t have a graduate degree, and it looks like no prior service. Kind of hard to be surprised with PROREC N. What were your ASTB scores?

People actually get those words? When I called Mr. Paul on our(the group's) behalf a few weeks ago, he said that if you apply with the 6 months with changes and are not selected, you will have to wait 6 months and submit a new package.
Ex. November I submitted a package and was not selected, 80pages. January I resubmitted but only my improved documents. 18 pages. July I'll submit a completely new package.

Yeah, I’m kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. I did graduate and received my BA. My only experience that I have related to the military is my attempt in the AFROTC.

ASTB: 5/7/6
