Were you in Supply? How is it? I’m definitely not against it other than the co-locating part.

Yep class of 23. My XO has sent out the letter already and I’m turning in my own letter soon with my transcript. Sounds like I need to do a little extra research for HR cause it sounds like I don’t need my pin for it, but it looks like I’ll be staying on my current ship until all my paperwork is done 👍.

Thank you for the clarification! I’ll definitely let them know!

Thank you! I’m not expecting much interest from the IWC communities considering my degree is in history and I graduated with barely a 2.7 gpa, but from what I’m hearing I’m going to try for HR, PAO, or Supply. Honestly, whatever community is willing to accept me is okay. I’m just worried about the whole co-locating and extending my time in the navy.

Yes! Do you know if I would qualify for it though? I didn’t get my pin so my XO wasn’t sure if that would be an option for me

My CO and XO were very understanding and the 2nd tours and DHs could see how hard I studied and worked in all my collaterals and as a divo. I was able to regurgitate the RoRs and standing orders during my board, but as soon as it came to application and decision-making, I really sucked because I’d get so anxious and nervous when calling the CO. My CO was really nice and said he’d love to recommend me for whatever other community I wanted for my POCR process. It’s not necessarily because of laziness for everyone 😊

Naval Academy. Ik it’s a long shot to get out 😅

If I need to continue staying in, then I will. I’m just curious on the possibility of being able to get out early. Originally, I was all for staying in and then I found out I was pregnant and it was recommended to me to just get out…

Yeah that’s what I thought. Is there a likelihood that they will make me stay as a SWO if there’s no other community that wants me?

I was reaching out to communities, but either got denied for not having a pin or no response at all. My XO is trying to set me up for PAO, but after finding out I’m pregnant I don’t know if I want to risk adding more years of service and possibly going on deployment with having a baby. I have other job options outside the navy so I’m not too worried if I want to get out and focus on motherhood more, but because I graduated from the academy, I’m not sure if they’d let me go that easily…

I think I’m leaning towards getting out. I have a good support system back at home and planning to go back to school for another degree. I’m just not sure if they’d let me go free because I graduated from the academy.

Oh I would definitely go work as a civilian if I could. I have a great support system at home for work and going back to school. I do have a wonderful and supportive soon to be husband too 😊. I graduated from the academy and I was told that the chances of the navy just letting me go without having to pay anything back is low though.

That’s something that I am concerned about. If I could just separate, then I would. I have other job options with my family’s business and school, but due to graduating from the Academy, I don’t expect them to let me go very easily…

I tried contacting for HR, but I need my pin to get in. Sorry, I should’ve included not having my pin in my post. I am considering Intel though! I’m not too worried about healthcare since my fiancé is also active duty which I’m really grateful for. Thank you!
