DCO board process question

At this point in the process I am rather confused. I thought that it was a fairly straight forward process to attempt to be a DCO. Not easy, but straight forward; now I am not so sure.

My OR submitted my application to the processor at the end of November. In theory there was a board late November/early December. I spoke with the processor earlier today (January) and was told that the Program Manager just reported an update today. If someone could clear up my confusion about how this whole thing works I would greatly appreciate it.
How I thought it worked:
1. I fill out application/go to MEPs/Interiew/LORs/etc, etc etc
2. OR sends final package to processor
3. Processor sends packages to board
4. Board sends recommendations to processors and program managers
5. Processor let's ORs know results
6. Program managers send final select/non-select letters through whatever channels

Am I missing steps? Did I screw up the chain of custody of the application? In either case, why would it take 2 months for my package to be in the program manager's hands. Does that mean that the board results are imminent or that the package is just getting ready to go to a board? In short, what role does the Program Manger play in the DCO selection process? When does a package go before said PM?

Belay my last. A few hours after posting this I heard from the accessions officer. It turns out that they pulled packages for the DEC board early and mine, along with others, never made the board. All of the ones that didn't make that board have been pushed to the April board. Looks like I get to wait *patiently* until 30April to know my future! :cool:

PenguinGal, I'm sorry to hear that! Hopefully everything goes smoothly for you in April. So you have already been to MEPS? My district doesn't let us go to MEPS until after we are Pro Rec'd. My board met early this month and I'm still waiting to Hear the results. Keep your head up and good luck!
