FY 2012 IDC Boards

[mbstroz]

I'm re-doing my motivational speech and working more on interviews now. I have a big one setup next month. 3 more weeks till finishing MSIT.
I never realized how long 6 months was until now and I've done many 6 month plus deployments. The good thing out of all of this is that now my wife wants to join also and become a Nurse. We'll be a Navy family. I can't wait.

Application Package due dates

Can any of you tell me when the deadline is for submitting packages ahead of the September Board? I believe it is around mid-August, but to be sure when are you all planning to submit to your respective ORs? Many thanks!

 

[mbstroz]

I am pretty sure it is August 20 for the deadline.

The package deadline for the 19-22SEP11 IDC board is 29AUG11, but don't wait until the last second.

 

[mbstroz]

That is what I was originally told also Das but then my recruiter changed it to 20 Aug a few weeks ago. I'll see if I can find what she sent.

 

[das]

Never hurts to be early. Here's the schedule.

That's exactly what I am being told as well. I recently had an Intel Officer come back from the FY11 LDO/CWO boards and one from the prior years OCS boards/recruiter type and they all preach the same message.

 

[mbstroz]

Thanks for clearing that up Das. Guess my recruiter is going crazy on me

 

[das]

Recruiters often want to give themselves a little padding so they don't have to rush at the last minute. Better to be a week early than a week late...

 

[mbstroz]

I understand that. My recruiter is about to have kids any day now so I will have a different recruiter for this board. I hope they know what they are doing.
Side question. I'll be up in Norfolk Naval Station on July 8-9. Anyone know anything good to do up there besides a base tour?

Apparently the largest Navy Exchange in the world is opening in Norfolk on June 29. ;-)

 

[mbstroz]

I guess I can go stand out front and ask people what it's like inside.
If it's like Army posts, we can go into the exchange without ID but you have to have one to buy anything.

I plan on getting up early and driving around to see the sights. It has been a few years since I was up in that area doing battle lab stuff before the war.

So with the interviews, I was told that for IP/IW they will be conducted the same way they are for intel. So instead of a one on one with someone, itll be a board of several senior officers. Has anyone else heard this?
