What NRC considers competitive

[FormerRecruitingGuru]

Not sure when next SNA SNFO board is, I have been told it is a rolling board?

Try searching around the forums. You can easily find the answer to your question.

What is the "Aviation Immediate Selection Board"? Did not see that in FY18.

Try searching for that as well.

Hello All,
Just seeing where I stand for SWO Nuc:
Age: 31
GPA: 3.92 in progress Computer Network & Cyber Security Bach.
OAR: 54
8 year MMN1 (SW), 3 LOR, and recommended by the command. I wanted to apply for something other than Nuc at first, but my conditional release wouldnt be approved, so trying for this one first.
Thank you in advance.

The approval process for SWO (N) is completely different than most other programs, a screener at NRC will look at every tech class you have taken and the grade you rec'd, if you are good after that then there will be some tech phone interviews and finally interviews at NRC with engineers followed by an interview with the Director

Question that I could not find the answer to by searching:

Does applying to one specific board make you look more competitive?

I am heart set on SWO.

I would apply to intel, SWO, and Supply, but if I got accepted to all 3, I’d gladly become a SWO. If I only apply for SWO in the Dec 31 board, does this add any competitive edge to my packet?

OAR 57
GPA: 3.4
History B. A.
Internship at the AZ state senate
VP of Mock Trial
VP of Political History & Leadership Club
Certificate in Political History & Leadership

Hello All:


I wanted to get some opinions on my potential competitiveness for a possible Intel Officer Position. Stats are below:

College: Bachelors in Justice Studies-3.45 GPA
Graduate Degree: Juris Doctor (JD)-2.9 GPA
Work Experience: 4 years of practicing law
OAR: Taking on Oct.19th

I spoke to my recruiter and he indicated to me that Intel Officer needs to have an OAR score around a 53. I plan on studying up on the materials to take the test. I don’t plan on thinking about JAG because I’m not a huge fan of litigation. I just wanted to get everyone’s thoughts on what a competitive OAR would be for the Intel slot and general competitiveness. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

JAG doesn’t just do litigation. If your mind is made up, so be it, but there is a lot of opportunity for JAG!

The JAG Corps is one of the toughest to get in, or years the people they brought in had nearly perfect GPA's

Don’t bother applying for Intel or Supply. Your degree or GPA (for Intel) don’t align with either.

The stats look fine. If you don't get selected I'd consider applying for SWO.

Thank you. I appreciate the expedient response!

Is it possible to get an age waiver past 29 for SNA? I am prior service.

Age waivers for priors beyond the 29th birthday are highly uncommon, but not unheard of.

Would you be more valuable to the Navy as a pilot than as an NFO? Because you'll need to convince N13 of as much to even have a shot. And FYI the OCM can't approve it--has to be the admiral.

 

[Dean Tougas]

Did you have evals from the USMC? If not you might not be eligible for the prior service waiver...

I'm in the same situation sir, I'm E-4 prior Army Guard, got 50 OAR GPA 3.6~ going for SWO FEB '19 board, no evals applies for me either, and my recruiter seems clueless since he's new, I'm just curious if my credentials met the criteria will not having the evals pose a problem? Thank you

How old are you and what's the age cutoff for SWO? That will solve your answer...
