SWO Board 12APR21

You are making assumptions on the what is “not working”.

It’s true, there may be some OR’s not providing good customer service, but with exception of waivers, everyone’s basic package is the same.

It is a competitive process - even a little thing could differentiate you either positively or negatively, in selection.

Just recognize, everyone cannot and will not be selected to be a Naval Officer and it’s not necessarily anyone’s “fault” if you don’t select in a competitive process.

hahah hey I'm just saying, I love my OR ?

I mean I've heard of people who flat out just take a couple hr drive to another district because they don't like how they are handling things at their recruiting station....matter of fact, that seems to be the way quite a few have managed to get their package pushed and evaluated by the board. For instance, I am in NRC New England....and say if things were not working here and I was really determined to get a second opinion I'd probably drive to NRC Empire State....it'd be annoying yes....but not completely unheard of

This is what I did. I'm doing my officer application through the New Orleans office but there's an office in Baton Rouge as well. Guy down in Nola saved my a$$ and I got the impression he's on his game. He asked me if I wanted to transfer to Baton Rouge and I said no.

You said a lot, while at the same time, not saying anything.

What exactly needed to be “saved” about your application?

Got rid of the SSN's. Heres the board list

Not seeing my name. Thought those who weren't picked on prior boards were automatic rollovers to the next.

Pro N

 

[eahmed4]

Pro N

in that case you have to wait six months

 

[NavyYN2814]

six month waiting period unless theres a significant change with your application

Really from the instruction I thought you got three looks before the 6-month wait period.

I think that's a DNR

 

[NavyYN2814]

Re-Read it and talking to Mr. Celestin. Not really sure where I got my initial thought. 6-month wait and a resubmit looks to be in my future.

 

[exNavyOffRec]

Pro N

once you are a "N" then that is where that application stops, you need to redo the application and like they said there is a wait, unless there is a significant change, such as new eval.

It is probable you would need to reapply for the waiver as well.

How many spots at ocs are projected for this board. Probably less than the last board if there are nearly double the candidates this time right?

There will likely be as many or more spots. This board is for FY22, so they’re looking to fill quotas.
