Navy Active Duty FY15

Published

Hello to all and so sorry for the long absence. PLEASE NOTE this only refers to Direct Accession. I will address Reserves in a seperate post.

The only current openings that remain are for the subspecialties of 1972 CRNA, 1981 Midwife, and 1920 Labor and Delivery. Critical Care 1960 should be closing very soon. If you have not yet started a kit you will not be eligible for this year. If you think your kit should be submitted soon, then I urge you to engage your recruiter because once we close this SSC we will not open it again until FY16.

All other SSC's are closed for direct accession and will not be accepted until FY16 if we recieve quotas to allow accessions to be considered.

The current board will meet later this month and results will be put out to the recruiters sometime during the first week of December. Please know that all times and dates are subject to change, so be flexible. Your recruiters will let you know as soon as we give them the information.

Good Luck to all who are at the November board, and if there are any of you out there who fit the open SSC's listed above, please reach out to a recruiter in your area if you desire information.

Ciao Ciao,

Hi, LT, NC, USN: I think it would be helpful to point out that if you post multiple threads with either exactly the same heading, or very nearly the same heading (one after the other, in a row), you will dilute the responses you receive. People will post on this thread or that, miss someone with a message they should read because it's on yet another thread, go back and forth....you get the idea.

It would be best to not have to chase multiple threads for what seems like some great information. Please combine threads, and then post a single topic under a single thread, so that everyone can find you and no one misses anything :)

vinstafa...Hello and sorry for the delay. Those numbers have not been finalized for FY15. Your recruiters will always here from us first, but I will be on here shortly after and provide some updates. At this time we do not know when we will know the exact number of quotas, but it is VERY safe for me to say that no number over 10 has been spoken. It may be less, but it will not be more.

I know this seems cryptic, but we are fluid until we have paper instructions to set us in stone.

Hope this helps, and please let me know if you have other questions.

Ciao Ciao,

RNsRWe,

Thank you for the note, but the threads were exactly the point they needed to be. Each thread speaks to a specific genre and there are too many threads that confuse all of the different aspects. The goal is to answer very specific questions and not to continue to confuse anyone.

Hope this helps explains the reason and thank you.

Thanks for the update. It's awesome that you are keeping us in mind and giving us updates about what you can. I know much information can't be disclosed, since nothing is finalized.

Is there an update of the current status of the board, specifically for 1960? (Like, is it about to meet, currently meeting, or finished meeting and finalizing decisions) If you can't, I totally understand, just figured it doesn't hurt to ask.

LT-

Do you know of any proposed numbers for 1945?

Thank you again for the updates!!

vinstafa...the board is not seperate for different sub-specialties (critical care, periop, ER, etc.) it is one board and meets for both Active and Reserve at the same time concerning any and all of the kits we had ready to go to the board before the deadline.

The board is something I will tend not to discuss on these posts. I have to save something for the recruiters :-) I will correct anything I see that may be grossly misleading, but for now your recruiter is the best POC (point of contact...you should start using acronyms frequently).

Totally does not hurt to ask!

navywifeRN, hello and hope this finds you well.

I have no idea other than to tell you sort of the same thing from the other post...at least one spot is proposed, but nothing is definite until we have a signed accession plan.

FYI - the accession plan is a plan listing out all of the numbers of all of the active duty persons (meaning pilots, medical, and even SWO's) and gives us the exact numbers that the Navy needs to bring in for the current FY to offset the losses of the last FY (and projected losses) from attrition, retiremnents, and other avenues. It is tied to a budget, but that is not what holds it up. The budget was voted on earlier for this FY execution. What holds it up is everyone wanting thier slice of the pie and all of the players agreeing to the final numbers.

Sorry...way more than you probably wanted, but I keep referring to the accession plan so I figured I might as well define it :-)

Hopet his helps,

Ciao Ciao

LT, I was wondering if you had any idea how the December board would look if there even is one. My packet had a hiccup and is currently waiting for the board in December. I was credentialed as 1922 and saw that there are currently only 4 others in this group. If there is a quota for ped nursing and it's not met by the November board is the only way I'll have a shot, right?

Thank you so much for your help and keeping us informed

Very Respectfully,

Nahla
