I'm hoping to apply for February boards as well and take the ASTB tomorrow. I'll update this post with my stats after I finish that exam. I've taken the opportunity to finish most of my package except the ASTB, so hopefully I can squeeze it in for February (barring any eff up on the exam or major additional requirements my OR gives me).

If you sent your kit in before the 15th of December it "should" be there for January, as the 15th was the deadline. Contact your OR or the NRD and give them your name, they should be able to tell you.

If you are up for January, good luck.

Reno, when did you submit? Was it after the 15DEC ?

I was told by my OR that the 15th prior is just for a buffer to ensure it gets into the board before the flood of others, and that the 1st of the month is really the latest anyone could hope to get in (even though most going straight OCS would be rolled over to the following month). Basically, the earlier the better, as you're trying to get in the system and work towards the top. I'm hoping that it's not too competitive (or packed with applicants) from the gap in boards over the winter holidays, as there might be more applicants in line now and some of us would roll a board or two.



Anyways, I'm in the boat with most of you...was supposed to be in the January boards, but since I was over the weight limit I have to wait (definitely no pun intended) to apply until after I meet regs. I was previously told I could apply and then have to meet it before final select, but I guess not. So hopefully I'll be in come February - realistically though, March looks more like it.

I had everything to my recruiter on the 12th but I think it didnt get sent until around the 22nd(They had to wait to get the employer refrences back which kind of was strange to me because my LOR's were all from employers).

Anyways I figured the board would have filled up by the 15th anyways because there were no december boards and they only look at 50 packets. This policy is still in use isnt it?

Now that , I have no clue about..some have said their recruiters said the 50 kit rule was in play. Maybe one of the recruiters could chime in.

Wait, how often is there an aviation board and when is the next board after the Feb board?

I was under the impression given by my recruiter that there was no Feb board! He told me if I didn't get the Jan board then I'd be waiting many months until the next board...and that he didn't know when exactly it would be.

 

[USNMark]

^ every month. Therefore next one after February is March

See, my recruiter said the deadline is 1 Feb for the Feb board. Any way to really find out what the actual deadline is for each months board?

My processor didn't get my paperwork in till the 22nd and I still made the following board (BDCP has a lot fewer applicants than direct, but thats an idea).

See, my recruiter said the deadline is 1 Feb for the Feb board. Any way to really find out what the actual deadline is for each months board?

My OR told me that the deadline is actually something like the 3rd or 4th each month, but you have to be lucky to be seen that late. About a week before the board they will release a list of the applicants that are to be reviewed.

It is true the day BEFORE the 1st of the month is the deadline. You maybe misunderstood. Your kit needs to be at CNRC by the 1st of the month to make that month's board.

Some recruiters (including mine) made a deadline of the 15th of the month previously (in this case Jan 15) to pretty much guarantee your kit makes it because of the 50 kit per board rule. Some people who send theirs later go to the bottom of the pile and might get rolled to the next month after.

This has already happened to a number of January board applicants who submitted around the 19th and after.
