Last time I saw a board take this long they "rec pro-x'd" everyone at board. What this means is they have met the required quotas for the FY and although your kit went to board no one received a look from the board. Aka no one selected. I'm not however implying that's what happened.

That would be rough. Hopefully, I don't think that is our situation. If I am remembering correctly, this board was the first board to determine FY15 quotas, so unless there are no spots (which could be possible), hopefully that is not our situation.
OMG! **rolls eyes** **slits wrists** **falls dead** .... one less applicant ....

If that is the case, why don't they just say that? There has been NO communication with anyone. All we have heard is rumor and speculation and stuff that (rightfully) grumpy OCS Help Desk people tell us. I realize these board members have to be objective, but I would hope that they understand everyone who submitted a package dedicated many months of time and worked extremely hard to put forth the best they have to offer. "Rec Pro-X" would be a slap in the face to everyone, especially after all this time.
But hey...what does it matter? It's not like we can voice a concern and have anyone listen or do anything about it.
If it sounds like I'm bitter, well maybe I am. If this was happening in the civilian world, heads would be rolling. If this were an enlisted thing, and 450+ people were competing for a spot at being selected at a new rate or something, and this was delayed, heads would be rolling. If officers are supposed to be held to a higher standard than the rest of us, then I say hold them accountable to that higher standard. All I can do is say that when I become an officer, and I'm on a board like this, and some bull crap shenanigans like this go on, I am going to give whatever information I can put out on a forum like this, or to the NRDs.
Now would someone please take my soapbox and smash it with a sledge hammer so I never use it again?

because I would have applicants waiting to find out and I would be trying to make goal.

This does happen in the civilian world, it happened to me, and nothing happens, it is part of being in business

But if one designator in the IDC is holding on to their results due to filling quotas ( or just taking a long time to review everyone) doesn't that mean that the other designators should release them? Also, wasn't this the first IDC board for selecting FY 15 applicants?
