01JUN26 SNA/SNFO board

If the regular board, BDCP, ISPP, and ISEL applicants are all being put on hold for months on end (and even rolled back, apparently), how are they / will they handle people retiring? Did the community royally screw up?

I have so many questions that will likely never be answered.

I don't think they're too worried about the months of May-November considering there will be a ton of midshipmen and cadets making their way down to Pensacola. That's likely the reason they're seemingly only handing out October dates, delaying accepting new applicants, and rolling a lot of people back. Wouldn't be the first time they've had to use roll-backs to address bottlenecks at Pensacola either. It got so bad during COVID they were rolling back entire classes.

This is the June board, based on this they will definitely cancel this one

Nah if they were they’d said it already not two days before deadline, and plus, with the amount of people having their apps submitted it means the recruiters know this one will likely convene; otherwise they won’t bother with the extra work lmao
 
It's not so much about board dates as it is about OCS dates. They can still convene the June board without causing pipeline issues because those selected will be graduating and going to Pensacola after the glut of midshipmen and cadets.
Unless Pensacola is trying to reduce the backlog of students just waiting around to start classes

ok I see. Even if the board is not cancelled I think it will have a very low selection rate because of all the applicants that have been rolling over.
 
I'd keep in mind that not every board gets to review every application, so if they meet their quotas the rest of the applications just get pushed to the next, or some get kicked back for reasons we don't know. This has been my case for the last 2 years. I may never know why, my recruiter doesn't know why. They seems to think there's an informal queue of applications and they're backlogged due to all the cancellations, but I'd take this with a grain of salt since no one really knows what/how things happen there.
No matter how many or how few the applications are either a pro Y or pro N, unless the board is cancelled they do not push applications to another board. The number of applications at one board doesn't mean if 3 boards are cancelled that the next board will have 4 times the normal amount, many don't stick around they move on to something else.

The aviation boards take no time at all to review an application just enough time to look at the scores and GPA then move on to the next, no reading statements or looking at transcripts.

The largest board I have heard of was Intel years ago and it was for reserve intel, there was close to 1000 applications as that board at the time was once per year I believe, 10% selection rate and the rest were declined and had to try again.

If the board wants to reduce the numbers of applications they can and have made cutoffs, that has happened with designators such as IWC, Supply and I am sure others.

The one I distinctly remember was a Supply board where the PM told me the board decided anyone with a GPA less than 3.0 was an automatic reject.

Eh I think regardless of if it’s 1000 or 100 there are only that many spots to fill so they’re selecting the same amount no matter how many applies; it’s just with more applicants there could be more competition from higher scores
 
When you say rolled back, do you mean they were supposed to go to OCS this past January or that’s when they received their prorec yes?

If they got the yes in January then an October OCS date would make sense, because people on the March board are getting October dates right now as well.

Would you expect that ISEL applicants would begin receiving a decision on their applications soon? Or do you expect even those of use with ISEL applications from February/March have a few more weeks/months?
