THE ORIGINAL FEB SWO BOARD HAS BEEN PUSHED TO MARCH. KITS DUE TO NRC 17 FEB 17.

I was wondering what the reason may be for this board to be pushed? Is it possibly because they are waiting after the inauguration for new budget or is that set in stone already? Just curious that's all.

nope, budgets are done in advance. It is more likely they are figuring out how many people they have accessing from USNA and NROTC to SWO, or they are waiting to see who was picked up for multiple designators and what they will go with, or as simple as the senior member isn't available on the date picked, those dates are set sometimes 18 months in advance.

To add to @NavyOffRec sometimes the respective community/program feels a board isn't needed so soon. Budgets have nothing to do here.

SeaReaver checking in. Good luck to everyone! Hopes to the possibility that they are moving the board up because they don't have enough applicants.

The budget is done in October. They have had that set in stone for a while as far as I know.

You are probably right. The graduation date for USNA and many other colleges is late May. By this time they should have a good idea of who is completing their degree on time (With the semester well underway it's hard to imagine someone fucking up badly enough to fail). Also with the inauguration of our new President chances are the senior members are busy doing other things.

NROTC and USNA graduates in May/June will be FY17 accessions and OCS boards will have no time to pick people to fill holes for FY17, they are already looking at FY18

The drop rate from USNA and NROTC in the last year is minimal, given the numbers that graduate probably statistically insignificant.
