I didnt necessarily read that as the others are actively reminding OP in a mocking/negative way and should be dismissed/avoided, but that simply hearing others' enthusiasm over service assignments or discussions about future JO to-dos reminds OP that they aren't going along for the next step...

The hopeful news is that it seems based on several users here (including me) that an asthma waiver is straight forward if the SA requests one. They will require your DD to take the MCT. If pass, yes, if fail, no. Obviously, there could be exceptions, since every case is different. BTW, my DS...

By the time DS eventually got his waiver and his LOA became appointment, no notification of any kind was sent.

This is wrong... I see zero deviled eggs and no casserole of any variety.

DS was 17 when he went through all the CIV/DR drama as well. Never was it about pediatric however. Just couldn't find one close enough for 2 months. Once Mr. Mullin got involved, (since retired) one was found the next day or two.

Understood. But that means SWO would be down 20%. That seems a significant shift if true.

Yeah, i know the lists change all the time. I have tried to record the lists over the last 10 years or so, just to see trends etc. But, i am really shocked by the SWO and Nuke SWO counts. Either the 205 includes Nukes which makes for a modern record low number, or the 745 and 1012 totals...

Another odd item... the official news release from USNA https://www.usna.edu/NewsCenter/2023/11/NAVAL_ACADEMY_CLASS_OF_2024_OBTAIN_CAREER_ASSIGNMENTS.php Shows Maritime Cyber Warfare Office assigned to 7 MIDNs that are part of the 49 IW but not in the "includes". That is the first time I have...

Thats frustrating. From the leaked MIDN file showing percentages, only 1 MiDN in top 250 or so would have not received 1 or 2 choice.

The SWO number here is really low or they omitted the SWO Nuke.

To be fair, this was somewhat flippant, as I don't see the Navy doing this anytime soon. My thought was that at some point they likely need to look at reinvesting in shipyards again. I don't know if the numbers would ever flip the argument to training and maintaining AD tradespeople vs...

DS got what he expected. Since he expected it, he isnt really happy or disappointed. Maybe relieved is the best word. I on the other hand am thrilled.

Based on that 60 Minutes segment earlier this year, Navy shipbuilding may be their biggest need. Maybe they need to have Shipbuilding as an inhouse service and draft JOs for it.

I am not certain exactly. Just going off the various met data reports they send each year and how it is broken down generally.

CW (Cryptologic Warfare) Medical Corps Intel CEC (Civil Engineering Corps) IP (Information Professional) Supply Corps Oceanography CWE (Cyber Warfare Engineer) AMDO (Aviation Maintenance DO) Generally for the MIDNS who are not physically qualified for any of the unrestricted communities. But...

The only problem with that is that for many MIDNs, Subs HAVE to be on their list. If not PQ for aviation, I dont think there are enough choices to not put subs somewhere. I had heard Subs were not drafting this year. The meta data shows subs had more this year than any in the past 10+ by a...

Agreed. Restricted (and SWO (Option)) numbers support the rumors they were looking at adding more opportunities to the MIDNs to go that route. DS still seemed ok yesterday... no clue how today goes. Good Luck to all.
