I think the the pdf http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/officer/communitymanagers/ldo_cwo/Documents/LDO%20and%20CWO%20Recruit%20Your%20Relief%20Brief.pdf  ...

came from here -> http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/officer/communitymanagers/ldo_cwo/Pages/References.aspx

It's been awhile since I've posted but quotas went up and I'm slightly hopeful. Never got my appraisals or package back so no idea if I was a 1 or a 10. Any rumors on release? My guess, and it's only a guess is the 24th

Not necessarily true I execute my orders in April. I was already told if I where to get selected that I would still execute and my PRD at the new command would match the commissioning date. So I am sure it is very case by case basis.

Good luck to everyone. Hope these results come out sooner than later!

I've been told the same myself from my chain of command: I'd execute my move.  In my case I PCS March 1 to Florida so I'm hoping for a March 4 release just to be on the safe side.  If they come out any sooner I'd have to find out how to cancel my move on really short notice.

I am so anxious to see the results... I can't take it any more! Good luck to all!

Rumor has it that the results will drop the middle of next week. Just got that from a couple of LDOs in Japan.

Thanks Tony.  I was hoping there was stats for the Reserves, but as usual we get the mushroom treatment.

I need to borrow that phrase...

Hmmm more and more post each day must be getting close

[Guest Mustang6235]

Literally any day now. Just watch that NAVADMIN traffic.

Same here

[Guest LSU ET]

I see in the most recent Recruit Your Relief Brief (referenced above) that the average age for LDO was 32 and average TIS is 12 years.  I am a quadragenarian (it's a thing - I looked it up), but only hit 12 years TIS next Month.  It should boil down to the best qualified, but does anyone know how heavily chronological age has factored in recent boards?

I am curious as well. As i never heard of age as a determining factor for selection.  I think the powerpoint just show it as a stat....

Hello! Total Newbie here but I definitely have some questions and maybe you fine folks can answer?

Two years ago my husband went to submit a package and the CO said no. He and a few others weren't allowed to submit to allow people with "fuller packages a better opportunity".

My husband did submit this time and we haven't really talked about it much since the boards. He is currently deployment and sent me a message say that many of the CWOs and LDOs keep telling him that he has a great chance. He has all but two of the criteria that are listed. We were 6 months from going to shore duty (after almost 4 at sea) to what is suppose to be our last command before he retires.

My questions are:

If selected, are all warrants required to do sea duty first or does it go by what is available?

No one knows what the boards look for but do they go heavily off the criteria that are listed?

Thanks for any answers.

[Guest Mustang6235]

Most people here are in the same boat as your husband. We have no idea. But it's probably no different than any other Navy board. Some great ones get selected, some great ones get passed over for a lesser candidate because of some little minor error in a service record. 

We've all seen those Chiefs selected and said, "how the heck did that happen?"

This is probably much the same.
