28 August 2023 SWO Board
- Thread starter cjsmyly
- Start date
I’m freaking out ?One more week!
That’d be great! My recruiter was saying expect October!
Eh, the last board in April heard about two weeks after the convene date. I'm hoping it's as quick this time!

I think when I applied it was like exactly 4 weeks until I got the call from my recruiter. Then I had an OCS date almost exactly 4 weeks out from the call.Yup, from what I understand it takes 4-6 weeks after the board convenes
So I wanted to share what my recruiter just told me. He was told that results for the SWO board should be out the week of 9/5, and that selects from this board could have an OCS class date for as early as 9/14. It could be a very busy September for some of us here.
There's no way I'd be able to ship on 9/14 though, if I'm selected. I wonder how flexible they'd be with OCS dates.

Your recruiter is just speculating, he doesn't know if the board met on time, doesn't know the workload of the processors, doesn't know how many spots are set aside for SWO's in the next few classes.So I wanted to share what my recruiter just told me.

Yes sometimes results can be back in a week, but they can also be back in 6 weeks, there is a reason Paul gives a standard answer of 2-12 weeks, and that is because of the reasons I listed above.
It is also unrealistic for people to leave that fast for a variety of other reasons.

My recruiter said we'd hear exactly a month from when the board meets. I still would think there would be a good turn around rate but not THAT great.Your recruiter is just speculating, he doesn't know if the board met on time, doesn't know the workload of the processors, doesn't know how many spots are set aside for SWO's in the next few classes.

100% pure speculation, I saw board results the same week the board met and also several weeks after, unless the person giving the info is a board member they really don't know. In the end it doesn't change the result.My recruiter said we'd hear exactly a month from when the board meets. I still would think there would be a good turn around rate but not THAT great.
Out of curiosity, what was the craziest reaction you got when you broke the news to an applicant (accepted or not)?100% pure speculation, I saw board results the same week the board met and also several weeks after, unless the person giving the info is a board member they really don't know.

I can't think of any that were really odd, I kept in contact with my applicants all the time, they knew where they stood compared to who was selected in the past, and as such they had an idea how things should turn out.Out of curiosity, what was the craziest reaction you got when you broke the news to an applicant (accepted or not)?
