Isn't the board date just a target date though? They meet anywhere from a week before to a week after the target date if I recall correctly. 26OCT is exactly one week before 02NOV.

This is true, that is the intention of the schedule when they're made. The board did convene exactly one week early. The biggest problem I meant to point out is that this is a FY20 calendar which was probably originally made sometime last year and we've been in FY21 Since the beginning of October. It has apparently gone through revisions due to COVID, but again this is a FY20 calendar, not a FY21 calendar. For anyone to try and point out inconsistencies in an argument about FY21 problems with a FY20 calendar seems a little silly to me.
I.E. the May board 2021 will begin taking FY22 quota's and we're talking about a FY20 calendar...
I mean at least its early rather than later so I wouldn't be too worried about a 25 Jan date.
Do we even get to see when the boards convene?
Its the second revision from COVID, so I would say its more up to date than the initial XD

I understand what you're saying about the potential differences in the calendars. Until that calendar is posted, we won't know for sure and there was never any argument about that? We're all waiting for an updated announcement/posting. However, with regards to your example of the 26OCT board, the way I understand it is that the date on the posted schedule would not change unless the board did not meet within the week before or after it's target date.
I did three. One from an academic counselor, current manager and current supervisor.

exactly
A majority of them are still waiting for results and will likely miss the deadline next week.

The only problem is that NRC runs the boards and makes decisions on who goes to OCS and when, not the aviation OCM, NRC also controls the billets for aviation as it is an accession program, not the aviation OCM.
The OCM's making decisions on things NRC controls is what has caused issues in the past with over-selection and in 2 cases under-selection for a community, one of the under-selection cases resulted in NRC contacting people who were already Pro Y for one designator asking if they would switch to another designator.
NRC will decide if boards need to be cancelled, delayed, combined or if numbers for each board need to be reduced not the OCM

I would try to submit no later than 01DEC just to be on the safe side.
December 1st as far as I know. The “hard cutoff” is December 11th and is for errors within the submitted packets on the 1st. That’s how it was explained to me.
I'm not sure where the supposed December 1st cutoff date is coming from? The cutoff for the January board is December 11th according to the official Navy calendar.
If you're looking at that San Diego California NRD website, that's a deadline they set for their own NRD, that is not the cutoff for this board. If you're not in San Diego, disregard that date.
That's pretty normal, you guys are still two months out. I think the Oct 26 board only had about 45 people on the excel sheet when the board met and it took another week to finally hit 50. People trickle in.
