So now that the March board results are out who is going to take the honor of creating an "Applying to the July 2013 Board" thread or this not necessary since the rumor is that they are going to a rolling board?

no, but if they keep doing what they are it won't matter.

would you care to elaborate on what you mean by "doing what they are doing?"

quick selections, discussion of increased board frequency, etc..
NOR,
Do you have any knowledge on why there seems to be a shortage of pilots/NFOs, especially when looking at the recent board results? Thanks for all your help.
Im in the same boat as you bro! I gave my notice of return to active duty today at work......I am really reserving my party dance for the FS and class date. Let me know if you get your FS letter. I havent seen anyhting on bupers yet for me, but I don't know if they post it for reservists.

I talked with my recruiter I should be expecting my FS letter this week hopefully. I was also told most of the pilots that were selected this board will attend April 21st.
are you in the reserves? if so, is your selection on bupers?
my recruiter said the same thing, expect the FS this week and be ready for March but expect April.

yes, one issue is blueprinting, it is what the OR is supposed to do upon meeting the applicant, it identifies any issues (legal/physical) and hopefully clears them up prior to submitting, and then there is getting guys that are motivated to submit, they have had large numbers of people becoming not physically qualified or just deciding they don't want this, for instance at one NRD I know of close to 75% of those selected are not able or wanting to go.
I applied to this march supply board, as well. From what I know the board is still set to convene next tuesday, the 19th. I've been told results should be sent out within 1-2 weeks. In one of the forums, I remember reading that around 30-40 of the 200 submitted for the january board were picked up. Take this all with a grain of salt though. From the looks of the board held on the 4th, results were released day-of and there was a high selection rate. No point stressing in the mean time - sit back and enjoy the wait. Best of luck man.
Thanks a lot NOR. That's crazy that some people simply turn down an aviation selection after all that application work. I wonder how many people will stick from this recent March go around.

Yeah, I never understand why someone would turn it down after going through all of that. But I guess it's better that those who don't have their heart in it not go.
Because everyone should have the same aspirations you or I have.
I bet there are probably more people looking to the military as a 2nd option than those who are really committed to it. Perchance during the application process they got a job offer/some other offer that they ended up taking over the military.
