This is really useful. Is there a similar sheet for the IWC designators?

Could we copy the template to start one for SWO?

SNA - OCS
As far as I know, only aviation has consistent updated sheets; however, I do remember seeing one instance of something similar for SWO boards here. I don't think anyone would have a problem if you copied it as a template.
Although aviation boards are more popular here on the Air Warriors forums, I think that if you can manage to create your own sheets for your designators and consistently get people to use them throughout future boards, it would definitely help out future candidates that come across the Air Warriors forum just as much as the current aviation sheets.

I'm going to look into it when I get home today to see if I can get it started. No promises, but I think it would be helpful.
Yes, it will be useful. Mandarin is more useful than Cantonese.
Your STEM minor is also useful. Can you dual major in it and still graduate on time?
But your high GPA and OAR matter the most. Also your character.
I’d encourage you to apply for OCS in the event you don’t get picked up for BDCP.

Figured I'd throw this in here to see what some of y'all think. On the "At board" list for SWO that happens in a few days. Do I have a good chance?

Not a single person me or my NRD had picked up for active Intel spoke any significant foreign language, some spoke Spanish due to family or Tagalog due to family but that was it. The info from NRC and the active Intel board members was the officers would have no need to speak foreign language since we have CTI's for that, this was when selection rates were 5-10% and they were very picky.
It may not make a difference during recruiting, but we can always use Os fluent in a “high demand low density” relevant foreign language. Probably as not useful in a first or second JO tour, admittedly. The Defense Attache Service comes to mind. FAO requires a language. If he has the aptitude to learn a 2nd language in the region, CNRJ or CNFK possibly. TL;DR: INDOPACOM regional expertise will likely be in demand for the next 20 years in Navy Intel. This is assuming his college degree is teaching him about the culture, people, and history of China and not merely language ability.

What we were told is if the USN needs you to speak a language they will send you to learn it, and FAO isn't Intel, although one could go from Intel to FAO. One of my old COs did just that.
You're close to the immediate select criteria (50 OAR and 3.3 GPA), so between that and the recent selection rates, I'd say you have a good chance

Everyone,
I have started a SWO Excel for this SWO Tuesday's board. I am slowly, but surely adding people. Please, even if you have not posted here, add your info and update what I have been adding, as there is some information you have not shared that helps.
A few notes before you add to it:
Lastly, I will be trying to retroactively add the last at least two boards for record keeping/reference. With the long weekend, I plan to get it done by Monday.
PLEASE ALSO MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN THE CORRECT BOARD TAB

A few notes before you add to it:
I wasn't sure how to change "SNA" to "SWO" and make the calculations/formatting still work. Please select "SNA" for SWO. There is no need to select anything else.I FIXED THIS.
- You do not need to add your AQR, PFAR, FOFAR scores. These do not matter at the SWO board.
- If you *want* to try to fix the formatting - please make a copy, try it there, and then tell me how to fix it. Please do not attempt to "fix" it and break this one.
- I've noticed most will need to update: Age, Prior Service, Waivers, and Previous Submissions. Please also make sure you select your sex and if you're on the "at board" list.

All,
I have created a Supply Board Excel Sheet. I am hoping to update it later today with older boards for reference.

Making Recruiting Great Again
If you don’t get selected for Intel you will be very competitive for supply corps.
