The board appears to have already happened as AD and some civilians are finding out results. Depending on when you submitted you may have already been seen by part of the IDC board, did you take any technically classes like calc or physics? that is a big plus for IDC, in general they favor tech degrees and AD sailors in IDC fields.

SWO is closed as per RUFiO181

I took a couple computer science classes and statistics in undergrad. I didn't have much room to take anything other than my required classes because I graduated with a major and a minor in three years.
And I submitted my packet back in November for the original December boards which I believe were cancelled.

What I don't understand is why all the different ORs have different information to give out, shouldn't you all be getting the same info? Makes things mighty confusing...Mine told me the board will still convene, are still accepting good SWO kits, and even if the FY is
closed you would just end up shipping during the summer. That's what my OR said, maybe you guys all have different sources.

In that case odds are you were a N for IW, they did hold a board and only selected AD applicants.

It is because some OR's don't get much info, they are told "just find people" I dealt with this before, talking to OR's from a different district their CO said just recruit, even if boards are closed just send up kits and tell the applicants there is still space.

Ok thanks for the explanation, really I just want to know what to expect. If the board is closed now is there a time they should be expected to be open again? And would they receive my kit ever?

Unless you're active/prior-enlisted IDC (IT, CTT, IS ratings or similar in other branches) your chances of getting selected are very difficult, despite having a high GPA and/or ASTB score. Your best bet is to get a professional interview from a senior IDC officer, depending on which program you want to apply for. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that's the gist of it.

IDC programs like to take folks from within, OR in some circumstances take folks off the streets who have a strong recommendation from someone senior in their own community.
